In this another article of me and Odoo 12, we started based on a simple scenario that is as an Inventory Employee we want to receive an order from Purchase Order(PO), and we want to send out an order from Sales Order(SO).

To start off this scenario, make sure we have the Inventory Module installed on the Odoo 12. Here is the screenshot of the Inventory Module home page.

As we can see, because the database is made up of demo data, so there should be already existing receipts and delivery orders to process. In this scenario, we need to create the PO and SO first, so watch out for the number of receipts and delivery orders.

Here we create a Sales Order to PT KITA as we offer five Office Chair, and as you can see on the top right corner, there is “1 Delivery” which means there will be a request to deliver the office chair to PT KITA on the Inventory Module.

Sales Order created

Here we create a Purchase Order to Azure Interior as we wanted to buy the previous five Office Chair, and as you can see on the top right corner, there is “1 Receipt” which means there will be a request to receive the office chair at the Inventory Module.

Purchase Order created

Here we back at the Inventory module. We can see there are four receipts to be processed and three delivery orders to be processed, which means the process we do earlier is being displayed in the inventory module.

Inventory Module home

Here we go to the receipts first. That’s mean we about to process the Purchase Order first. There at the bottom, our partner Azure Interior and we click that.

Goods receipt page

Here we can see the product being sent over to the warehouse complete with the product and some additional information.

Goods Receipt document before validated

After we click to validate, the system will auto-fill the “Done” field with the number from the initial demand, but we can also click edit and fill it ourselves.

Goods receipt completed

After validating the process is over, we assume that we actually received the product in the warehouse.

We move on to the Sales Order(SO) process we go to the Delivery Orders page.

Delivery Orders page

We can see at the bottom of the list the name of our client, aka PT KITA. We just click it and move to the next page.

Delivery Orders detail

Here we can see the product being that needs to be sent over to PT KITA with the total amount and reserved amount. The Reserved amount means how many we actually have in the inventory and can be sent to PT KITA.

Delivery orders validated

After we click to validate, the system will auto-fill the “Done” field with the number from the initial demand, but we can also click edit and fill it ourselves.

And the Scenario is over. That’s about how we were processing a Delivery Order and Goods Receipt document, from receiving the orders and sent out the product.

Within this article, I will also share a little bit about other modules.
