Stock Requests Direction
This module was written to allow users to request products to be transferred from or to your warehouses. They can specify the direction and don't have to bother selecting the inventory location.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds an Inbound/Outbound direction choice to stock requests and stock request orders, so users can say whether goods come into or leave a warehouse without picking the inventory location themselves.
This module extends the stock request feature with a simple direction choice. On both a stock request and a stock request order you now see a Direction field next to the warehouse, with two options: Inbound and Outbound.
When you pick a direction, Odoo fills in the location for you: - Outbound: the destination is set to the customer location of your company. - Inbound: the destination is set to the warehouse's stock location.
On a stock request order, changing the warehouse or the direction also clears the route on its request lines, and the direction is copied down to every request line in the order, so you do not have to set it line by line. The direction can only be changed while the record is still in draft; afterwards it is read-only.
The field is added to the existing stock request and stock request order list and form screens, and the order form passes the direction as a default to its lines. The module also enables the setting that allows virtual locations in stock requests. It touches the stock.request and stock.request.order models.
