Hello,


Is it possible to validate operations from different receipts of the same vendor in a tree view?


So imagine this example:


- I have receipt WH/IN0001 with product A and product B and WH/IN0002 with product C and product D. Both from the same vendor.


- I want to be able to validate the entrance in stock of the product A and the product C, because they came together, and leave both receipts open to be validated in the future.


Is this feasible in Odoo? Will it mess with the creation of backorders or could this be solved also?


I'll wait for some feedback, always open to questions.

Yes, this is feasible in Odoo, but it requires some customization or configuration adjustments. By default, Odoo processes receipts individually, but you can validate operations across multiple receipts in a tree view with some tweaks. Let’s break this down:

Key Considerations:

  1. Stock Picking and Operations
    • Each receipt (WH/IN0001, WH/IN0002) generates stock moves and is processed independently.
    • You want to validate only certain lines from different receipts together (e.g., A & C) while leaving B & D pending.
  2. Partial Validation & Backorders
    • Odoo automatically creates backorders when only part of a picking is validated.
    • If you validate A & C while leaving B & D, Odoo will create backorders for those remaining products.
    • This shouldn’t cause issues unless you have specific constraints on how backorders are handled.
  3. Tree View & Mass Validation
    • Odoo’s tree view for stock pickings doesn’t allow direct validation of individual operations across different pickings by default.
    • A workaround is to modify the view or add an action that lets users pick multiple stock moves from different receipts and validate them together.

Possible Solutions:

  1. Custom Action for Mass Validation
    • Create a server action that allows validating selected stock moves across different receipts while keeping the original pickings open if needed.
    • This action could be triggered from the stock.picking tree view.
  2. Custom Workflow or Module
    • Modify the picking validation process to allow selecting multiple operations across pickings and validating only those.
    • Ensure the remaining moves stay open without interfering with normal backorder creation.
  3. Alternative: Merge Pickings Before Validation
    • If feasible, consider merging related pickings into a single picking before validation.
    • This can be done via customization or using Odoo’s "Merge Pickings" functionality (available in some versions).

Potential Issues to Watch For:

  • Backorders may be created automatically when partially validating receipts, which could lead to confusion if not managed properly.
  • Vendor Bills and Accounting Impacts should be checked to ensure partial validations don’t cause discrepancies in invoicing.
  • User Experience Considerations to ensure warehouse staff can easily manage these validations without unnecessary complexity.

Hi samuel,

yes it is possible to select multiple transfer records and validate them. 

  1. go to the inventory module
  2. operations → Receipts
  3. Go to the list view
  4. select multiple receipts → actions →validate

Thanks

Hi Marc,

Thank you for your answer. But I don't want to validate multiple receipts. I want to select multiple operations from different receipts and validate them. But the receipt may still be kept open.

Hi samuel,

Did you mean the stock move line inside a stock picking (Receipt)?

if so, you'll needa code change to view stock moves & a server action to validate the moves. But as you have mentioned it might impact partial validation.

Thanks.
