Stock Transfers Lot Info
This feature adds a text field that allows for inventory operations (i.e. picking out) to have additional information about the lot numbers being moved. This can be relevant, for example, when the warehouse management is outsourced to a third party provider, that is in charge of managing the actual lot tracking. It allows for Odoo store the lot information relayed by the 3PL, for information or reporting purposes. Note that this is different from the case where Odoo is doing the actual lot/serial number tracking, and this feature is expected to be used with Odoo lot tracking disabled.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Lets you record free-text lot or serial number information on stock transfer lines, and make it mandatory per product. Useful when lot tracking is handled outside Odoo, for example by a third-party logistics provider.
This module adds an extra text field, "Lot/Serial Number Info", on stock transfer lines so you can type in the lot or serial numbers reported by an external party (for example a 3PL warehouse) without using Odoo's own lot tracking.
On each product, a new setting "Lot Information Usage" appears in the product form (in the traceability section, hidden for services). It offers three choices: No, Optional or Required. This controls how the lot info field behaves on transfer lines for that product.
On stock transfers, the new field is shown next to the lot/serial number column in the move lines list, detailed list, form and operations screens. If the product setting is No, the field is read-only; if Optional, you can fill it in freely; if Required, it is mandatory.
When you validate a transfer, Odoo checks all move lines without a package. If any line is for a product whose setting is Required and the lot info field is empty, validation is blocked with an error listing the affected products.
It touches the product template, stock move line and stock picking models, and extends the standard stock views for products and transfer lines.
