We have following setup:

  • Pre-production area, where components are needed to manufacture finished products. On creating manufacturing order, missing goods are ordered automatically.
  • Components can be picked/available from our stock, or should be ordered. In that last case the goods should go from inbound area to pre-production area (no extra step through our stock)
  • We have 2 step good receipt. When goods are receipt, they should either go to the pre-production area if there is need for them there, or otherwise can go to our stock.

Odoo configuration:

  • Locations hierarchy:
    • WH/Stock
      • WH/Stock/Input (this is different than default Odoo setup)
      • WH/Stock/Warehouse
      • WH/Stock/Warehouse/Sublocation1,2,3,...
    • WH/Pre-production
  • Routes configuration:
    • Pick and produce (Sequence = 8):
      • Action Pull from: WH/Stock -> WH/Pre-production
      • Action Pull from: WH/Pre-production -> Virtual Locations/Production
    • Reception in 2 steps (Sequence = 9)
      • Action Push to: WH/Stock/Input -> WH/Stock/Warehouse

Resulting behaviour:

  • We create a manufacturing order. This automatically creates an Internal Transfer of type Picking. This remains in status waiting if not all components are available.
  • When missing components arrive, we complete Operation Receipts. Components are put to WH/Stock/Input
  • Instead of linking those components with the existing picking operation, a new Internal Transfer is created of type Storage.
    THIS WE DO NOT WANT: Storage should only happen for products that cannot be linked to existing transfers.

I find this behavior strange, since I put higher priority (lower sequence nr) on the picking route compared to the storage route.

I also tried changing the first action in the "Pick and produce" route to Pull & Push, but this doesn't change the behaviour.

Anyone got any idea what am I doing wrong, or how I can change the behaviour the way we need it? Thanks in advance!

Odoo have fixed routes, and not dynamic as you want. To get that dynamic function you want, you would need programming. Should be possible, but dynamic actions is complex.
With to step receipt there is also a transfer from Input to location to Stock. So if you want to skip the input location and put directly in stock, you would need to cancel the transfer from Input to stock.
Both steps can be done manually.

The sequence of the routes doesn't impact the scenario that is described. The Pick component route terminates at WH/Stock. In the absence of available qty at this location, the subsequent route (Buy) is triggered.

The push rule (Input -> Stock) triggered by 2 step receipt route reserves the products at Input location making it unavailable to other operation (Pick Component) at this location. 


2 distinct processes not following the sequence you describe.


To make qty available at Input location you would need to unreserve qty the Storage operation.


Subsequently reserve (by clicking Check Availability) on Pick Component operation


Hope this clarifies.


It sure doesn't address your need for transfer of received components directly from Input to Pre-production or to have a 1 step receipt to Input locations.


To achieve that, you would require to modify the manufacturing route (Pick components and then manufacture) and (Or) create a 1 step receipt operation selectable on the PO


As example -


===========

Update - Alternately it is possible to modify the receipt route. Specifically the push rule (2nd step - Input to Stock (warehouse in your example) by creating a rule. 

In your example, the 2nd transfer - Input to Stock should only be created for receipt operations where the POs aren't for components of manufacturing orders.

[("purchase_line_id.group_id", "not ilike", "WH/MO")]

Purchase Order's procurement group isn't from a MO.

This rule precisely provides the behaviour you are seeking

Thank you for the links. I think this is generic information about routes, but doesn't provide an answer on my specific problem.

I will try to ask the question in a more generic way:

  • On inbound location A I have 2 routing rules:
    • Pull from: A -> B (generated by manufacturing order)
    • Push to: A -> C (store goods to warehouse C)
  • The pull rule has a lower sequence nr than the push rule, so I guess pull is considered higher priority.
  • However, when products arrive on A, they are NOT matched to any existing transfer linked to the Pull action, instead a new Push transfer is created. Which is not the behavior we want.

How can we do this please, or what could we be doing wrong. Let me know if more info is needed.


Thanks!
