库存计划 inventory planning

查看库存量  Check inventory
首先是要清楚查看到库存量,在Odoo库存模块里,有多种库存数量,如在手库存,预测库存,可用库存,历史库存。
The first is to clearly view the inventory. In the Odoo inventory module, there are various inventory quantities, such as on-hand inventory, forecast inventory, available inventory, and historical inventory.

商品在仓库里的当前实际数量。
The current actual quantity of the item in the warehouse.

商品在仓库里的将来的数量,系统可以显示指定特定日期的预测库存,如明天,或者下周一。预测库存计算原理是,在手库存 + 即将入库的库存 - 即将出库的库存。即将入库的库存,如采购已下单,但供应商尚未到货的数量;即将出库的库存,如销售已成单,但尚未发货的数量。
The future quantity of goods in the warehouse, the system can display the predicted inventory on a specified date, such as tomorrow, or next Monday. The calculation principle is, inventory in hand + inventory to be put into storage - inventory to be shipped out. Inventory that is about to be put into storage, such as the quantity that has been ordered for purchase but not yet delivered by the supplier; inventory that is about to be released, such as the quantity that has been sold but has not been shipped.

仓库里的商品可以发货的数量。Odoo中不仅可以查看当前的可用库存,还可以查看将来特定日期的可用库存。其计算原理是,在手库存 - 即将出库的库存。对库存管理来说,重要的是可用数量有多少。Odoo进行MRP运算时候,判断缺不缺料,缺多少料,参考的是可用库存,不是在手库存。
The number of items that can be shipped in the warehouse. In Odoo you can view not only the current available stock, but also the stock available on a specific date in the future. It is calculated on the basis of stock in hand - stock to be shipped out. What is important to inventory management is how many quantities are available. When Odoo performs MRP calculation, it judges whether there is a shortage of materials, and how much material is lacking. The reference is the available inventory, not the inventory in hand.

Odoo中可以倒查过去任何一天的库存数量。
You can check the inventory quantity of any past day in Odoo.

由此可见,Odoo具有强大的库存查看功能,因为它借鉴了会计的复式记账,采用了较为复杂的复式库存管理逻辑。不同于金蝶、用友等软件,只能查看当前库存,最多再查一个当前的虚拟库存(类似于Odoo的可用库存),不能查历史库存,也不能查看预测库存。

It can be seen that Odoo has a powerful inventory viewing function, because it draws on the double-entry bookkeeping of accounting and adopts a more complex double-entry inventory management logic.Different from Kingdee, Yonyou and other software, you can only check the current inventory, and at most one current virtual inventory (similar to Odoo's available inventory), you cannot check the historical inventory, nor the forecast inventory.

强大的补货功能 Powerful replenishment function
在odoo库存模块里,我们可以设置多种缺料自动补货的策略。常见的补货策略包括,安全库存,按需补货,连环补货,等等。策略设定后,系统会自动判断是否缺料,缺料自动发起缺料补货单,提醒相关人员补货。
In the odoo inventory module, we can set up a variety of strategies for automatic replenishment of missing materials. Common replenishment strategies include safety stock, on-demand replenishment, chain replenishment, and more. After the strategy is set, the system will automatically determine whether there is a shortage of materials, and automatically initiate a shortage replenishment order to remind relevant personnel to replenish.

一些经常使用的物料,可以设定安全库存,一旦低于安全库存,系统自动发起补货建议。
For some frequently used materials, the safety stock can be set. Once the safety stock is lower than the safety stock, the system will automatically initiate a replenishment suggestion.

为零库存管理,一些不常用的料,或者不通用的物料,如按客人要求定制的料,不备库存,需要时候再去补货。如外贸公司,接到国外订单再去采买。在Odoo中,以外贸公司为例,商品设置为按需补货后,外贸销售员(或销售内勤)在系统中确认销售订单,系统自动创建采购建议单。而且,同一个订单的商品,供应商不同,系统会自动按供应商产生不同的采购建议单。如果是组合件,Odoo也会自动拆分成部件,自动创建各个部件的采购建议单。
Zero inventory management, some materials that are not commonly used, or non-universal materials, such as materials customized according to customer requirements, do not have inventory, and replenish when needed. For example, a foreign trade company will go to buy after receiving foreign orders. In Odoo, taking a foreign trade company as an example, after the commodity is set to be replenished on demand, the foreign trade salesperson (or sales office) confirms the sales order in the system, and the system automatically creates a purchase proposal. Moreover, if the products of the same order have different suppliers, the system will automatically generate different purchase proposals according to the suppliers. If it is an assembly, Odoo will also automatically split it into parts, and automatically create a purchase proposal for each part. 

Odoo中可以设定连环补货策略,让系统自动实现连环补货。比如,产成品A由部件B构成,部件B由原料C构成,A、B、C分别在不同仓库,A在成品库,B在半成品库,C在原料库。销售卖出了A 100件,系统发现成品库只有60个A,缺口40个,系统自动发起A的补货建议单(A的生产建议单),系统进一步发现,生产A需要领料B,但B也缺料,因此又自动发起了B的生产建议单,生产B需要领料C,C也缺货,因此,系统又自动发起了C的采购建议单。如此,一个仓库,一个商品的缺货,引发了后续一系列的缺货行为。
Odoo can set a chain replenishment strategy, allowing the system to automatically realize chain replenishment. For example, finished product A is composed of part B, and part B is composed of raw material C. A, B, and C are in different warehouses, A is in the finished product warehouse, B is in the semi-finished product warehouse, and C is in the raw material warehouse. The sales sold 100 pieces of A, and the system found that there were only 60 pieces of A in the finished product warehouse and 40 gaps. The system automatically initiated A's replenishment proposal (A's production proposal), and the system further found that the production of A needs to take material B, but B is also short of materials, so B's production proposal is automatically initiated. Production B needs to pick C, and C is out of stock. Therefore, the system automatically initiates C's purchase proposal. In this way, the shortage of a warehouse and a commodity has triggered a series of subsequent out-of-stock behaviors. 

仓库作业 warehouse operation

在Odoo中,货架货位管理、波次管理、条码操作、包裹管理、批次/序列号管理、效期管理、库龄管理、人员绩效管理等功能可以提高仓库作业质量。
In Odoo, functions such as shelf location management, wave management, barcode operation, package management, batch/serial number management, expiration date management, inventory age management, and personnel performance management can improve the quality of warehouse operations.

Odoo中可以设置上架策略、下架策略。首先在每个货架、货位设定库位码,贴上条码,然后入库时候,系统按上架策略推荐什么商品应该入库到哪个货位。出库时候,系统按下架策略告诉拣货人员应该到哪个货位去拣货。
Odoo can set the shelf strategy. First, set the location code on each shelf and cargo location, paste the barcode, and then when the warehouse is put in, the system recommends which products should be put into the warehouse to which location according to the shelf strategy. When out of the warehouse, the system tells the picker which location to pick the goods according to the shelf strategy.

Odoo中可以设定波次策略,系统自动划分波次,归集发货单,多个订单合并成一个波次,批量拣货,提高作业效率。对于出货量大的仓库,如电商的销售发货,一天发货几千几万单,拣货人员可以将多个发货单归集到一起进行处理。
Wave strategy can be set in Odoo, the system automatically divides waves, collects invoices, combines multiple orders into one wave, picks goods in batches, and improves operation efficiency. For warehouses with large shipments, such as e-commerce sales and shipments, tens of thousands of shipments are shipped a day. Pickers can collect multiple shipments together for processing.

Odoo有条码操作模块。入库、上架、拣货下架、打包、出库、盘点,都支持条码操作,提高仓库作业准确性。
Odoo has a barcode operation module. Barcode operations are supported for warehousing, putting on shelves, picking off shelves, packing, leaving warehouses, and stocktaking, improving the accuracy of warehouse operations.

入库时候,可以指定入库商品的批次,有效期。出库时候,可以设定下架策略,如先进先出,先到期先出,系统自动推荐优先出库临期商品。例如,给商超供货的食品批发企业,不同商超有不同效期规定,如二分之一效期、五分之四效期,这些不规则效期的确认,往往极大降低了仓库作业人员的效率。如果使用Odoo,系统会自动推荐拣货货位及拣货批次,极大提高作业效率。
When entering the warehouse, you can specify the batch and expiration date of the goods in the warehouse. When leaving the warehouse, you can set the removal strategy, such as first in, first out, first due, first out, and the system automatically recommends the products that are out of stock first. For example, for food wholesale companies that supply supermarkets, different supermarkets have different validity periods, such as one-half validity period and four-fifth validity period. The confirmation of these irregular validity periods often greatly reduces the warehouse. Worker efficiency. If Odoo is used, the system will automatically recommend picking locations and picking batches, greatly improving work efficiency.

大包裹包含小包裹,小包裹包含商品。在物流过程中,只需要扫描最外面的包裹码,系统就可以自动追踪包裹内部的商品流向。在目的仓库入库时候,无需拆包逐个扫码,只要扫描最外面的包裹条码,就可以整包自动入库。
Large packages contain small packages, and small packages contain merchandise. In the logistics process, you only need to scan the outermost package code, and the system can automatically track the flow of goods inside the package. When the destination warehouse is put into storage, there is no need to unpack and scan the codes one by one, as long as the barcode of the outermost package is scanned, the whole package can be automatically put into storage.

Odoo中可以查询每一批次商品的入库时间,库龄时间,到期时间,也可以设定策略,库龄超过一定时间的自动发送邮件通知相关人员处理。
In Odoo, you can query the storage time, inventory age, and expiration time of each batch of goods. You can also set policies. If the inventory age exceeds a certain time, an email will be automatically sent to notify the relevant personnel to deal with it.

Odoo可以自动记录每个阶段所用的时间,比如每一个发货单的打单时间、拣货时间、打包时间、发货时间,拣货人、打包人、发货人。基于此统计,管理可以一目了然仓库人员谁干得多,谁干得快。
Individual performance: Odoo can automatically record the time used in each stage, such as the ordering time, picking time, packing time, delivery time, picker, packer, and shipper of each invoice. Based on this statistic, management can see at a glance who is working more and who is working faster.

Odoo的库存模块提供多种库存作业功能,极大的提高了仓库作业的质量和效率。管理可以根据仓库需要进行选择。

Odoo's inventory module provides a variety of inventory operation functions, which greatly improves the quality and efficiency of warehouse operations. Managers can choose according to warehouse needs.
