Point of Sale - Picking Creation Delayed

Point Of Sale License: AGPL-3

This module extends the functionality of odoo Point Of Sale to reduce creation time of the PoS orders, via the front UI.

For that purpose, it delays the creation of the picking associated, that will be created later by queue job.

This module is interesting specially in a context of Synchroneous Point Of Sale that is introduced by certification modules like 'l10n_fr_pos_cert' because in such cases, the bill will be printed only when the pos order is created ( after the call of the function create_from_ui) and the creation of the picking is the process that takes the most time.

See https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/26314#issuecomment-422949266 for more information.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

This module lets you delay the creation of stock transfers (pickings) for Point of Sale orders, so the order is saved instantly and the transfer is generated later in the background. It is useful when printing the receipt must happen quickly.

When a Point of Sale order is validated, Odoo normally creates the related stock transfer (picking) immediately. This module changes that: if the option is enabled on the Point of Sale configuration, the order is saved right away and the stock transfer is created later by a background job.

Where it appears: - In Point of Sale settings, under the inventory section, a checkbox "Delay the creation of the picking created by the PoS orders" is available. - In the Point of Sale orders list, orders waiting for their transfer are highlighted in red. - On the Point of Sale order form, a checkbox shows whether the transfer creation has been delayed.

Business rules and automatic behaviour: - The delay is only applied when the Point of Sale session does not update stock at closing. - Orders flagged for delayed transfer are queued and processed by a background job on a dedicated channel. - Once the transfer is created, the flag is automatically cleared.

It touches the Point of Sale configuration, Point of Sale orders, and the settings screen, and relies on the queue job system to run the delayed creation.

  • Go to 'Point of Sale' / 'Configuration' / 'Point of Sale'
  • Select your Point of Sale
  • Set the value in the field 'Picking Creation Delayed'. (Checked by default)

You should update your odoo.cfg file to add a new channel named root.pos_picking_delayed:

[queue_job]

Otherwise, you'll have a non blocking warning in your log, like this one.
