Manually configuring the carrier for each picking is inefficient, especially when it's already predefined for the partner or their primary partner. This add-on automates this process for companies and allows you to choose whether or not to automate it, based on the type of operation.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0Automatically fills in the delivery carrier on transfer orders when the customer already has a shipping method set, so warehouse staff no longer have to pick it manually.
When a customer (or their parent company) already has a preferred shipping method, this module can copy it onto new transfer orders automatically.
- A company-wide switch called "Carrier auto assign" is added in Inventory settings, under the shipping options. It is off by default.
- Each operation type (for example deliveries, receipts, internal transfers) gets its own "Carrier auto assign" checkbox on its form, next to the backorder setting. It is only shown when the company switch is enabled, and it follows the company value by default but can be changed per operation type.
- If both the company switch and the operation type checkbox are on, the carrier is filled in when a transfer is created with a customer and an operation type, and also when the customer or operation type is changed on an existing transfer.
- The carrier taken is the one set on the customer's main company contact if there is one, otherwise the one set on the customer itself.
It touches stock.picking, stock.picking.type, res.company and the settings screen. No new menus or reports are added.
