Routes and Rules in Odoo 14 Community Edition
8In inventory management, the supply chain strategy determines when products should be fabricated, delivered to distribution centers, and made available in the retail channel.
This kind of strategic process can be configured using Routes, featuring Pull and Push Rules. Once everything is properly configured, the inventory app can automatically generate transfers following the instructions given by the rules.
Since Routes are a collection of Push and Pull Rules, Odoo helps you manage advanced routes configuration such as:
- Manage product manufacturing chains
- Manage default locations per product
- Define routes within your warehouse according to business needs, such as quality control, after-sales services, or supplier returns
- Help rental management by generating automated return moves for rented products.
To configure a route such as one of those above, open the Inventory Application and go to Configuration ‣ Settings. Then, enable the Multi-Step Routes feature.
Once this first step is completed, you have the choice between pre-configured routes or custom ones.
Odoo’s pre-configured routers are available in the warehouses’ menu. To find it, go to Inventory ‣ Configuration ‣ Warehouses. There, open your warehouse and edit it to see the pre-configured routes for incoming and outgoing shipments.
Some more advanced routes, such as pick-pack-ship, are already configured to make your life easier. Those are based on your choice for shipments.
Once you made your choice, go to Inventory ‣ Configuration ‣ Routes to see the routes Odoo generated for you. To create a custom route, click on create, and choose the places where this route can be selected, and set rules for your route.
