Re: OpenERP: trunk-stock-split-move-refactoring

 

Dear René Glauser,
I'm CC'ing the warehouse experts, I hope you don't mind.
Chained moves are indeed a pain to work with when stock moves need to be split - there are several bug reports about this issue. That's not solved in our branch, but my impression is that the changes we propose would make it easier to do : we introduce a distinct API for splitting moves, so I guess the method could be made recursive to split chained moves too.
I'll add this to the blueprint so we keep track of that idea.

Hello Lionel Sausin

Thank you for your reply to my mail. I looked into your branch 6.1. The functionality in your branch to split one move into two different moves is realy useful, but I still miss some functionality. I try to explain you what I am looking for on my way evaluation OpenERP:

Situation:

Usualy we place orders to our supplier in Asia for several 1000 pcs. of one ore several products. Normaly we plan to get the products by sea-transport. For urgent orders it often happens, that we need to split an ordered quantity into two seperate shipments. Eg. one shipment per air (dest-location "AIR" with linked location "Input") and another part of the shipment per sea (dest-location "SEA" with linked location "Input"). So we need to split one move into two moves with different destination-locations. Because we need to know at which location our material is located at every moment in time, I tried to use the functionality of "linked" locations. That means, when the order is confirmed, the destination-location for the order normally will be "SEA". Because of the linked location on that destination, there is automatically generated a second move from "SEA" to "Input" with the quantity in the original order. When I now split the first move into two different moves with different locations with linked destination-locations, then there should be an automatic update of existing linked moves in the future that corresponds to the original move splitted into two different moves.

Questions:

  * Would it be possible to implement the possibility to set a new
    destination-location for the new move directly in the split-wizard?
  * Is it possible to update moves automaticaly that are linked to the
    move that is splitted up also taking into account of the state
    "Waiting another move"? My problem is not only about splitting one
    move but also what happens with linked moves, when an original
    move is modified (eg. changing destination-location).

I would appreciate your feedback concerning our described situation and my questions. Do you think it makes sense or not?

best regards

René Glauser

Dear Glauser René,
Thanks for your interest in our work.

It's not been packaged as a module but as a patch/branch of the main addons, because we're hoping to merge it into the trunk later. We currently maintain 2 branches forked from v6.0 and v6.1. We use v6.0 in production.
Get them here :
lp:­numerigraphe/openobject-addons/6.1-stock-backorder-rewrite <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/+branch/%7Enumerigraphe/openobject-addons/6.1-stock-backorder-rewrite> lp:­numerigraphe/openobject-addons/6.0-stock-backorder-rewrite <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/+branch/%7Enumerigraphe/openobject-addons/6.0-stock-backorder-rewrite>

If you give these branches a try, I'd really value your comments and questions, they'll help us improve and make the changes adopted.

Lionel Sausin.

Hello Numérigraphique

I am Looking or a solution in OpenERP to split one stock move into two ore more independant stock moves with the possibility to change destination-location for the new moves. While searching for a solution I saw your merge-proposol "trunk-stock-split-move-refactoring". How can I test this functionality? Can I download this module somewhere?

best Regards
