My challenge: I want to manually send products between two warehouses, following the same route as the "Resupply from warehouse Z" route that is automatically generated by Odoo.
I have Warehouses A, B and C. (I have many more, but for simplicity, consider the three). Warehouse A is main warehouse, and Warehouse B and C are satellites.
WH B and C are both set up with Receive and Deliver in 1 step, and are set up to NOT buy, but resupply from Warehouse A. Standard configuration so far.
WH A is set up to buy to resupply, and have 2-step receipt and 2-step delivery.
The routes that are automatically configured for WH B and C to resupply from A works just fine when a reordering rule is triggered. It generates a Pull from Inter-warehouse transfer location, that Pull from WHA/Output, which generates a Pick operation from WHA/Stock.
However, now I want to send a product X from WH A to WH B without a reordering rule triggered. How can I generate the demand, that will trigger that "Resupply from WH A" route - or something similar?
All guides I can find either show inter-warehouse transfer as an "internal transfer" between two warehouses, or how to set this up for automatic reordering rules. This does not work for me for three reasons: I want the inter-warehouse transfer to follow the same Two-step shipping as Sales orders, and I want the transfer to ship to an intermediary (the Interwarehouse transfer location), before it arrives at WH B. I want to manually trigger this transfer, not only when it automatically recognize that it want to reorder.
I have tried many different setups with may different custom operation types, routes, rules transit locations and more. But I just can't figgure out how I can trigger the route.
Another smaller issue I have with the fact that I have to set up custom routes and rules is, that I do not have a Reference document that collects the different product move operations (like a Sales order show you that e.g. 3 transfers have been created: Pick, pack, ship). If you have a suggestion for how I can do this, it is also much appreciated.
Currently Odoo 13e, hopefully soon moving to Odoo 14e
This issue has been raised in several forms, as far as I can tell, and never answered successfully. Can anyone help with an answer?
