Starting from Odoo 18.0, product_expiry module is blocking the reservation of expired lots.

However we could have use cases where we want to move such expired lots in another location.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Lets you allow Odoo to reserve expired lots again, so you can still move them to another location. You turn this on with a company-level setting called "Ignore Expiration Date".

By default, Odoo blocks the reservation of expired lots. This module adds a company setting that switches that block off, so expired lots can be reserved and moved.

Where it appears: - In Inventory settings, next to the Lots & Serial Numbers option, a new checkbox "Ignore Expiration Date" with the note "Force the reservation of expired lots." It is only shown when the Lots & Serial Numbers feature is enabled.

What it changes: - The setting is stored on the company (res.company), so it applies to all users of that company. - When the setting is on, the availability calculation for stock quants (stock.quant) ignores the expiration date, which lets expired lots be reserved. - The same behaviour can also be triggered per operation through the context key ignore_expiration_date, without changing the company setting.

Business use case shown by the code: you may need to move expired lots to another location, which the standard expiration rule would otherwise prevent.

The module only extends existing models (res.company, res.config.settings, stock.quant) and adds one settings screen field; it does not create new menus or reports.

Usage

Source · Odoo 18.0

This module allows to force the reservation of expired lots with:

  • a configuration option (at the company level)
  • a context key

Configuration option (global)

Open Inventory settings (Inventory/Configuration/Settings), section Traceability, and enable option Ignore Expiration Date.

With context key (code)

Before calling <stock.move>._action_confirm() or <stock.move>._action_assign(), one could set the ignore_expiration_date context key:

move_expired_lot._action_assign()
assert move_expired_lot.state == "confirmed"
move_expired_lot.with_context(ignore_expiration_date=True)._action_assign()
assert move_expired_lot.state == "assigned"
