I have been experimenting with the Routes in Odoo's Inventory App and am finding them quite powerful.
I am testing Cross-Docking and when we have the space I see this as a great option to reduce handling and delivery times.
I understand in Odoo 18.0 there is more flexibility in Transfers - with the destination now editable to account for real world conditions when things don't go as planned.
One of those real-world conditions is not having enough room the day the shipment for a Cross-Dock configured order arrives.
I am easily able to change the destination of the INPUT --> OUTPUT Transfer to STOCK instead of OUTPUT so that we can store the inventory, but since all Transfers are now complete, we need to manually create a Transfer from STOCK to OUTPUT and another one from OUTPUT to CUSTOMER in order to complete the order.
When we use the Cross-Dock route as intended, the OUTPUT to CUSTOMER Transfer is created automatically.
I want to know if Odoo could automatically schedule the STOCK --> OUTPUT and OUTPUT --> CUSTOMER Transfers so we don't have to manually create them?
Is this possible and how would we configure Odoo for this case?
