auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Links warehouses, stock locations, pickings, moves and quants to an Operating Unit, so each warehouse team only sees and works with the stock belonging to its own operating unit.
This module brings the Operating Unit concept into Inventory. On a warehouse you can now choose an Operating Unit, and the same field is added to stock locations. When a transfer (picking) is created, its requesting Operating Unit is filled automatically from the warehouse of the selected operation type, and it can only be changed while the transfer is still in draft.
Several automatic checks prevent inconsistent setups: - Internal locations must belong to the same Operating Unit as their parent location. - Supplier and customer locations cannot be assigned an Operating Unit (internal locations only). - A location used by a warehouse must match that warehouse's Operating Unit. - A transfer's Operating Unit must match the warehouse of its operation type. - Each stock move must have its source or destination location in the requesting Operating Unit. - Reordering rules must use a location with the same Operating Unit as the warehouse.
Users only see warehouses, operation types, locations, transfers, moves and quants that belong to their allowed Operating Units (records without an Operating Unit stay visible). The Operating Unit is shown on warehouse, location, transfer and move screens and lists, and transfers can be searched and grouped by Operating Unit. Stock moves also display the Operating Unit of both the source and destination locations.
