I am starting to use the Odoo Inventory App.

What is the easiest way to understand the different picking methods?

I have seen the documentation:

https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/applications/inventory_and_mrp/inventory/shipping_receiving/picking_methods.html


Is there a very simple analogy anyone can share to help me nail the differences?

Think about the last time you visited a supermarket. 

You probably saw:

  • the "Grandmother" - with her list, walks each aisle getting what she needs - that is the DEFAULT
  • the "Wife, also shopping for her Aunt" - with her list AND her Aunt's, walks each aisle getting what they both need - that is BATCH
  • the "Husband and Wife" - they decide to split the list - cold things and regular groceries - that is WAVE
  • the "Employee" - they are shopping for multiple customers - so they split their cart/trolley into sections - that is CLUSTER
