The scenario:

Products get shipped to our shop by the suppliers without us raising any RFQ or PO. We may not know the product and quantity until they get to us. We may receive the electronic invoice the day before. We also receive paper copy of the invoice with the products. The products may not exist in our Odoo system yet or a newer edition/version of the product get delivered.

The basic process for us is:

1. Receive product

2. Print & stick product label for each item

3. Check for discrepancy (by any left over labels or by physical count)

4. Report discrepancy back to the suppliers

Just wonder, the Purchase Process for Odoo could be simplified to the following steps:

1. Import electronic invoice (create a product or product variant in the Odoo system if required)

2. Verify physical good vs electronic invoice (update inventory count)

3. Generate discrepancy report

4. Print labels (additional plugin can be developed) for physical good received (stop wastage on the labels).

Or is there a better way of achieving this?
