Route Planning Stock Integration

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/route-planning Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

Integration between Route Planning and Stock to automatically generate routes and checkpoints from pickings.

This module automates route and checkpoint creation directly from stock pickings and integrates inventory transit locations and stock rules into Route Planning workflows.

Key Features:

When you use the transit location created for the Route Area, the delivery is performed in two steps:

The first step moves the stock from the internal location where it is stored to the transit location. This movement represents the physical transfer from your warehouse to the transport vehicle that will perform the delivery. A second picking is created when you validate the first picking. This picking waits for the corresponding checkpoint to be completed when the delivery is completed at the customer. Once the checkpoint is completed, the picking is automatically validated.

Note: For better integration and simplicity, we recommend using this module with the route_planning_delivery module installed.

Table of contents

Configuration

  • Go to Inventory / Configuration / Settings.
  • Enable Storage Locations and save.

Configuring Route Areas

  • Go to Route Planning / Configuration / Areas.
  • Create or edit a Route Area.
  • Set the Warehouse if you have more than one warehouse. Otherwise, the system will use the default warehouse for your company.

Upon saving, the system will automatically:

  • Create or update a Transit Location under the warehouse view location.
  • Create or update stock rules linking the warehouse stock location, the route area transit location, and the customer location.

Creating or Editing an Operation Type

  • Go to Inventory / Configuration / Operation Types.
  • Create or edit an operation type.
  • Set the Destination Location field to the transit location created automatically by the Route Area.

Usage

  • Create a Delivery Order using an operation type whose Destination Location is the transit location created automatically by the Route Area.
  • Assign the Route Area to the picking.
  • Confirm / Validate the picking.
  • The system will automatically search for an existing draft route for that area and scheduled date, or create a new Route.
  • A Route Checkpoint is created and linked to the picking and its partner.
  • Go to the Route and plan it.
  • When the visit to the customer is completed, validate the checkpoint. This will automatically validate the picking.
