Is it possible to manage orders without creating a sales order and an invoice? In other words, can I enter an order, bypassing the sales and invoicing functions in order to manage stock and use the traceability to keep track of what was shipped where? This would make OpenERP an order-fulfillment tool as well as an inventory management tool to keep track of the movement of products from the manufacturing and warehouse side.
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Accounting
- Inventory
- PoS
- Project management
- MRP

In the delivery order document (stock.picking), if you select the buyer name in the delivery address field - which is a many2one field related to res. Partner, you can achieve your requirement. Inventory gets liquidated on validation of the picking and also you get the traceability as to whom a particular shipment was sold to.
Just make your seller your Customer in odoo. Then simply deliver products through sales order creation with the name of "Seller" in customer field. If seller is a third party. And then you have option of partial and full invoices.
Justin,
I'm not sure I understand your question 100%, but if you install just the Warehouse module, it will track just incoming shipments and Delivery Orders. The Warehouse module doesn't depend on the Sales module. But it does depend on the invoicing module, admittedly. I believe that's only the case because Suppliers and Customers reside in the Invoicing module (I could be wrong).
Anyway, with just the Warehouse module installed, you can start just using the Deliver Products and Incoming Products options.
Does that answer your question?

Sort of answers my question. In our companies case we manufacture for the seller and ship direct from our warehouse however all the finances related to the sale of the products to customers come in to us through the seller. Therefore no need for me to track any financial exchange or bookeeping within OpenERP. I simply need to create the order with details (picking slip) which will help me utilize inventory and planning shipments accordingly. Does this sound possible or would I be better suited looking for other software. Any info is a big help. Thanks in advance Nick!!!
