[Bug 681331] Re: The term "picking list" should be changed

 

In purchase module I find 13 sentences containing the words "picking" or "pick".
In purchases context it doesn't make sense.
I'm translating it as reception, it would be better that the original sentences where corrected.

tank you

Title:
  The term "picking list" should be changed

Status in OpenObject Addons Modules:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The term "picking" in OpenERP is used too broadly in OpenERP for logistic experts to understand the concept behind it.
It has been repeatedly reported that "picking" (or actually, "pick list") only relates to gathering goods before they are shipped.

So please :
- change "picking list" for something clearly generic, for example "logistic operation"
- change for something more specific when the context allows it :
  - gathering goods to be sent => "pick list" ( http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4535&view=viewpoll )
  - internal moves => "transfer"
  - outgoing moves to customers => "shipping" or "delivery"
  - incoming moves => "reception"

IMHO this can wait until v6.0 is released but would greatly improve the usability of OpenERP.
