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

This module extends the RMA workflow by allowing automatic creation of stock lots when confirming an RMA.

Table of contents

Use Cases / Context

In some RMA processes, especially in repair and refurbishment businesses, returned products may come from outside suppliers or unknown sources.
While these products didn’t originate from your inventory, you may still need to:
  • Assign a unique lot/serial number upon receipt
  • Track the product through repairs, testing, and resale
  • Print and attach labels for internal traceability

This module automates lot/serial assignment at RMA confirmation for tracked products, ensuring every returned item is properly identified before it enters your warehouse workflow.

Configuration

  1. Go to RMA / Configuration / Operations
  2. Open or create an RMA operation and:
    • Enable Auto-create Lot/Serial on Confirm
    • Select the Lot/Serial Name Sequence to use for generated lots

Optionally set Removal Days Before Expiration to automatically compute the lot’s Removal Date as Expiration minus N days. Requires a positive Lot Expiration (days).

Usage

  1. Create an RMA for a tracked product (lot or serial) without specifying an existing lot
  2. Assign an RMA Operation that has:
    • Auto-create Lot/Serial enabled
    • A Lot Sequence defined
  3. Confirm the RMA
    • The system will generate a new stock lot using the defined sequence
    • The lot will be linked to the RMA

If configured, the lot will receive Expiration and Removal date (removal_date = expiration_date − N days).
