On most companies there are products that must be purchased often but cannot be stored as a usual product because no consumption moves are made. Usually, they are stored as consumables or putaway rules are defined. In both cases, reordering rules cannot be used. This module allows to use stock request as reordering rules for this kind of products.
It is created following the concept of lean kanban cards.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets you create reusable kanban cards for products and scan their barcodes to quickly raise stock requests, add lines to a stock request order, or run a physical inventory of the cards.
This module adds a "kanban card" concept to stock requests: a card represents a product (with warehouse, location, route and quantity) that you can scan with a barcode reader instead of typing a request.
Where it appears in Odoo: - A "Kanban cards" menu under Stock Request master data (managers only) to create and maintain cards, shown as a card-style kanban board, a list and a form. - A "Request from Kanban cards" menu and a "Scan Kanban" button on the stock request list: scanning a card barcode immediately creates and confirms a stock request for that card. - A "Scan" button on draft stock request orders that adds scanned cards as lines, with checks that company, warehouse, location and procurement group match the order. - An "Inventory" menu to run a card inventory: choose warehouses, locations and products, start it, scan each card, then finish and print the missing cards so they can be replaced.
Automatic behaviours: - Card and inventory records get an automatic reference number. - Barcode scans are validated, including an optional check digit; unknown, already-scanned or out-of-scope cards are rejected with a message. - Products show a "Kanban Cards" counter button linking to their cards. - A printable label report shows location, product code, product, quantities and card reference.
It extends product.template, product.product, stock.request and stock.request.order, and adds the card and card-inventory models.
