Procurement Auto Create Group
This module allows the system to propose automatically new procurement groups during the procurement run.
This capability is important when you want to make sure that all the stock moves resulting from a procurement run will never be mixed with moves from other groups in stock transfers.
The stock transfers resulting from the procurement run will only contain stock moves created in that run.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you flag a stock rule so that each procurement run creates its own new procurement group, keeping the resulting stock moves separate from other transfers.
This module adds an option on stock rules (the rules that decide how products are moved between locations) so that every time the rule runs, a brand-new procurement group is created for the moves it generates.
Where it appears: - On the stock rule form, a new checkbox "Auto-create Procurement Group" appears right after the "Group Propagation Option" field. It is only visible when the propagation option is set to "Propagate".
Business rules and automatic behaviour: - When you change the propagation option away from "Propagate", the checkbox is automatically cleared. - When a rule with the checkbox enabled is used during a procurement run, the system creates a new procurement group and assigns it to the generated moves, so those moves are not mixed with moves from other groups in the same transfer. - The new group gets a name from the "procurement.group" sequence and the partner address configured on the rule. If no sequence is defined, an error is raised. - The same automatic grouping also applies when push rules copy an existing move to a new date.
Areas touched:
- Stock rules (stock.rule) gain the new option and the logic to build the group.
- Procurement groups (procurement.group) are extended so the rule lookup can replace the group used for the run.
