Stock Lot Auto Remove

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/stock-logistics-workflow Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

This addon allows to automatically remove stock quants with a past removal date, regardless of whether they are reserved or not.

On each warehouse, you can enable the automatic removal of lots with a past removal date.

Every day, for each warehouse where the automatic removal is enabled, a cron job will launch the process to remove past removal date quants.

Use Cases / Context

BUSINESS NEED:

On large warehouses, it is common to have products with a limited shelf life, such as food or pharmaceuticals. These products need to be managed carefully to avoid waste and ensure compliance with regulations. One of the challenges is to ensure that lots with a past removal date are automatically removed from the stock whatever they are reserved or not.

APPROACH: This module addresses this need by identifying past removal date lots in the stock, dereserving them, and creating a specific picking to remove them from the stock. The past removal date lots are then reserved in the picking and an attempt is made to reserve again the dereserved moves.

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to to enable the removal of expired lots. This can be done by following these steps:

  • Go to App > Inventory > Settings -> Warehouses
  • Select the warehouse you want to configure.
  • On the ‘Warehouse Configuration’ page, find the section ‘Expired Lots Auto Move’.
  • Check the box ‘Enable Expired Lot Auto Remove’.

Usage

On the warehouse form, once the ‘Enable Expired Lot Auto Remove’ checkbox is checked, some additional fields will appear to configure the automatic removal of past removal date quants:

  • ‘Expired Lot Origin Location’: This field allows you to select the origin location from which the past removal date quants will be removed. It is a required field. (Defaults to the warehouse’s stock location)
  • ‘Expired Lot Destination Location’: This field allows you to select the destination location where the past removal date quants will be moved. It is a required field. (Defaults to the warehouse’s quality control location)
  • ‘Expired Lot Move Picking Type’: This field allows you to select the picking type that will be used for the automatic removal of past removal date quants. It is a required field. (Defaults to the warehouse’s ‘Expired Lot Removal’ picking type)
