Empty Package At Picking Return
When returning goods from the customer, ensure that only the content of the package is put back in stock and not the package itself.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds an option on operation types so that, when goods are returned from a customer, the packaging is not put back into stock — only its contents are.
This module adds a single checkbox, "Empty Package At Picking Return", to the configuration of each operation type (for example Receipts, Delivery Orders or Returns) in the Inventory settings.
When that checkbox is ticked on the operation type used by the original transfer, returning goods to the customer works differently: the return transfer is created without keeping the package on the returned lines. In practice, the contents come back into stock but the package itself is not recorded as coming back, so you do not end up with empty packages counted as stock.
Where it appears: - The checkbox is shown on the operation type form, right after the warehouse field. - The behaviour applies automatically when a return is created from a transfer whose operation type has the option enabled.
It touches the stock.picking.type configuration model and the return wizard stock.return.picking, and affects the package information on the return transfer's move lines. No new menus, reports, emails or scheduled jobs are added.
