Hello, 

I use serial numbers to track my products. At the moment, when I create a sales order, Odoo gives me the serial numbers that I have to fetch/scan. However, I would like to be able to tell Odoo what I have taken and not the other way around. I'd like to be able to scan the barcodes of the products I pick up and have Odoo remove them from stock and associate them with my sales order. How do I do this? 

Thank you very much!

Hello, 

To achieve the workflow where you scan the products you pick up and have Odoo remove them from stock and associate them with your sales order, you can follow these steps in Odoo:

  1. Configure Serial Number Scanning: Make sure your system is set up to handle barcode scanning. You should have a barcode scanner connected to your device, and it should be configured to work with Odoo.
  2. Enable Warehouse Management App: Ensure that you have the Warehouse Management app installed and activated in your Odoo instance. This app provides advanced inventory management features.
  3. Configure Sales Order Picking Type: Go to Configuration > Warehouse > Picking Types. Edit the picking type associated with sales orders (usually "Delivery Orders" or similar). Ensure that the option "Use Existing Lots/Serial Numbers" is enabled.
  4. Start Picking Process: When you're ready to fulfill a sales order, create a delivery order from the sales order. In the delivery order, you'll see the list of products to be delivered.
  5. Scan Products: Use your barcode scanner to scan the serial numbers of the products you're picking up. As you scan each serial number, Odoo will automatically remove the corresponding product from stock and associate it with the delivery order.
  6. Validation: Once you've scanned all the required products, validate the delivery order. Odoo will confirm the movement of goods, update the stock levels, and associate the serial numbers with the sales order.
  7. Review: After the delivery order is validated, you can review the sales order to ensure that the products are marked as delivered and that the serial numbers are associated correctly.

By following these steps, you can pick products for sales orders by scanning their serial numbers and have Odoo automatically handle the stock removal and association with the order. This workflow improves efficiency and accuracy in your warehouse operations.

Thanks.

i m in the same boat. Odoo 17 does not allow user to pick the quantities by scanning the product unlike Odoo 14. I am not sure how to configure the odoo 17 to work like Odoo 14 during the picking operation. There is no screen to scan the barcode, system starts to pick the qty one by one. I made a mistake by upgrading from 14 to 17 and now I am missing one of the key critical operations in Odoo 17.

One of the ways to achieve this would be not to make a reservation. 

On the delivery oder operation, choose the reservation to be manual.

This might affects your current forecasting and reordering processes so would recommend to test before making any changes
