Inventory solution

Stock Requests, Transfers & Material Requests

Simple internal stock requests with approvals, sending and receiving across warehouses, plus material requests and goods received notes.

The problem

What organisations struggle with

Standard Odoo transfers are designed for warehouse users. Branch staff who simply need goods moved should not need to understand operation types, routes and locations.

The solution

How we solve it in Odoo

A request-based process: employees request products from another warehouse or branch, managers approve, the sending location dispatches and the receiving location confirms quantities, with Odoo pickings generated behind the scenes.

Workflow
