This module add a "Start" button on the picking form view. This button will start the picking process by setting the "printed" field to True.
By setting the "printed" field to True, we prevent the system to add new moves to the picking.
Optionally, you can also delay the assignation of the picking's responsible by setting the "Assign responsible at stock picking start" option to True into the stock settings.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Adds a Start button to transfer (picking) forms so you can lock a transfer before processing it, preventing new products from being added. A Cancel Start button unlocks it again.
This module adds a Start button on the stock transfer (picking) form, visible only when the transfer is ready (state assigned) and not yet started. Clicking it marks the transfer as started, which sets the internal printed flag to True and blocks the system from adding new move lines to that transfer.
Once started, a green "Started" ribbon appears on the form, and a Cancel Start button becomes available to undo the start (only while the transfer is still ready). In the transfers list, started transfers are highlighted in green, and a new "Started" filter lets you list them.
A new option in Inventory settings, "Assign responsible at stock picking start", is company-specific. When enabled, new transfers no longer get a default responsible person; instead, the current user is assigned as responsible when the Start button is clicked, and cleared when Cancel Start is used. When disabled, the responsible defaults to the current user as usual.
The module touches the stock transfer model stock.picking, the company settings res.company and the settings screen res.config.settings. It also adds the started flag to existing transfers that were already marked as printed and ready.
