+How to send products to customers directly from suppliers (drop-shipping)?
+==========================================================================
+
+What is drop-shipping?
+----------------------
+
+Drop-Shipping is a system that allows orders taken from your store to be
+shipped straight from your supplier to your customer. On a usual
+delivery system, products are sent from your supplier to your warehouse
+to be put in stock, and then shipped to your customers after ordering.
+With drop-shipping, no item is stocked. When a customer places an order
+in your shop, the item is delivered straight from the supplier to the
+customer. Therefore, the product doesn't need to get through your
+warehouse.
+
+Points to be considered while implementing drop-shipping
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+-  Use drop-shipping only for the products you can't or don't want to
+   keep in stock. One reason is that you'll always make smaller
+   margins on items that are drop-shipped, so you should keep it
+   only for items that take up a lot of space in your warehouse.
+
+-  Drop-shipping is best for niche products. Chances are that products
+   that are in high demand are being offered by large suppliers at a
+   fraction of the price you'll be able to charge, so using a more
+   costly shipping method won't be financially rewarding. But if
+   your product is unique, then it makes sense!
+
+-  To protect your customers from bad experiences, test drop-shipping
+   companies for yourself beforehand and list the best ones.
+
+-  Make sure time is not against you. Drop-shipping should take a
+   reasonable amount of time and surely not more than it would have
+   taken you to handle it all by yourself. It's also nice to be able
+   to provide your customers with a tracking number.
+
+-  Items have to be available from your supplier. It's good to know if
+   the product you're selling is available upstream. If you don't
+   have that information, inform your customers that you don't hold
+   the item in stock and that it's subject to availability from a
+   third party.
+
+.. tip::
+    For more information and insights on Drop-shipping, read our blog on 
+    `What is drop-shipping and how to use it <https://www.odoo.com/blog/business-hacks-1/post/what-is-drop-shipping-and-how-to-use-it-250>`__.
+
+Configuring drop-shipping
+-------------------------
+
+-   Open the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`. 
+    Go to **Location & Warehouse**, locate the **Dropshipping**
+    option and tick the box **Allow suppliers to deliver directly to
+    your customers**. Then, click on **Apply**.
+
+.. image:: media/dropshipping06.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  Then go to the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings`.
+   Locate **Order Routing** and tick the box **Choose specific
+   routes on sales order lines (advanced)**. Click on **Apply**.
+
+.. image:: media/dropshipping05.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  Now, open the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Sales --> Products`. 
+   Add a supplier to the products you want to dropship.
+
+.. image:: media/dropshipping03.png
+   :align: center
+
+How to send products from the customers directly to the suppliers
+=================================================================
+
+-  Create a **Sales Order** and specify on a sales order line for your
+   products that the route is **Dropshipping**.
+
+.. image:: media/dropshipping01.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  Open the menu :menuselection:`Purchases --> Purchases --> Requests for Quotation`.
+   The draft purchase order is automatically created from the
+   procurement with the drop-shipping route. Once the order is
+   confirmed, you will see that one shipment has been created.
+
+.. image:: media/dropshipping04.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  To confirm the sending from the vendor to the customer, go back to
+   **Inventory** app. On the dashboard, click on **# TO RECEIVE** on
+   the dropship card.
+
+.. image:: media/dropshipping02.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  It will open the list of drop-shipping transfers. Validate the
+   transfer once it has been done. The items will be directly
+   delivered from the partner to the customer without transiting to
+   your warehouse.

+How to choose the right inventory flow to handle delivery orders?
+=================================================================
+
+Depending on factors such as the type of items you sell, the size of
+your warehouse, the number of orders you register everyday... the way you
+handle deliveries to your customers can vary a lot.
+
+Odoo allows you to handle shipping from your warehouse in 3 different
+ways:
+
+-  **One step (shipping)**: Ship directly from stock
+
+-  **Two steps (pick + ship)**: Bring goods to output location before
+   shipping
+
+-  **Three steps (pick + pack + ship)**: Make packages into a dedicated
+   location, then bring them to the output location for shipping
+
+For companies having a rather small warehouse and that do not require
+high stock of items or don't sell perishable items, a one step shipping
+is the simplest solution, as it does not require a lot of configuration
+and allows to handle orders very quickly.
+
+Using inventory methods such as FIFO, LIFO and FEFO require to have at
+least two steps to handle a shipment. The picking method will be
+determined by the removal strategy, and the items removed will then be
+shipped to the customer. This method is also interesting if you hold
+larger stocks and especially when the items you stock are big in size.
+
+The three steps system becomes useful in more specific situations, the
+main one being for handling very large stocks. The items are transferred
+to a packing area, where they will be assembled by area of destination,
+and then set to outbound trucks for final delivery to the customers.

inventory/management/delivery/scheduled_dates.rst

@@ -0,0 +1,154 @@
+============================================
+How is the scheduled delivery date computed?
+============================================
+
+Scheduled dates are computed in order to be able to plan deliveries,
+receptions and so on. Depending on the habits of your company Odoo
+automatically generates scheduled dates via the scheduler. The Odoo
+scheduler computes everything per line, whether it's a manufacturing
+order, a delivery order, a sale order, etc. The dates that are computed
+are dependent on the different leads times configured in Odoo.
+
+Configuring lead times
+======================
+
+Configuring **lead times** is a first essentiel move in order to compute
+scheduled dates. Lead times are the delays (in term of delivery,
+manufacturing, ...) promised to your different partners and/or clients.
+
+Configuration of the different lead times are made as follows:
+
+At a product level
+------------------
+
+-  **Supplier lead time**:
+
+Is the time needed for the supplier to deliver your purchased product.
+To configure the supplier lead time select a product, and go in the
+**Inventory** tab. You will have to add a vendor to your product in order
+to select a supplier lead time.
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates05.png
+   :align: center
+
+.. tip:: 
+    Do not forget that it is possible to add different vendors and thus
+    different delivery lead times depending on the vendor.
+
+Once a vendor is selected, just open its form and fill its **Delivery lead
+time**. In this case security days have no influence, the scheduled
+delivery days will be equal to: **Date** of the purchase order + **Delivery
+Lead Time**.
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates02.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  **Customer lead time**:
+
+Customer lead time is the time needed to get your product from your
+store / warehouse to your customer. It can be configured for any
+product. Simply select a product, go into the sales tab and indicate
+your **Customer lead time**.
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates01.png
+   :align: center
+
+-  **Manufacturing lead time**:
+
+At the same page it is possible to configure the **Manufacturing Lead
+Time** as well. Manufacturing lead time is the time needed to
+manufacture the product.
+
+.. tip::
+    Don't forget to tick the manufacturing box in inventory if you
+    want to create manufacturing routes.
+
+At the company level
+--------------------
+
+At company level, it is possible to configure **security days** in order
+to cope with eventual delays and to be sure to meet your engagements.
+The idea is to subtract **backup** days from the **computed scheduled date**
+in case of delays.
+
+-  **Sales Safety days**:
+
+Sales safety days are **back-up** days to ensure you will be able to
+deliver your clients engagements in times. They are margins of errors
+for delivery lead times. Security days are the same logic as the early
+wristwatch, in order to arrive on time. The idea is to subtract the
+numbers of security days from the calculation and thus to compute a
+scheduled date earlier than the one you promised to your client. In that
+way you are sure to be able to keep your commitment.
+
+To set ut your security dates, go to :menuselection:`Settings --> General settings` and
+click on **Configure your company data**.
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates04.png
+   :align: center
+
+Once the menu is open, go in the configuration tab and indicate the
+number of safety days.
+
+-  **Purchase Safety days**:
+
+Purchase days follow to the same logic than sales security days.
+
+They are margins of error for vendor lead times. When the system
+generates purchase orders for procuring products, they will be scheduled
+that many days earlier to cope with unexpected vendor delays. Purchase
+lead time can be found in the same menu as the sales safety days
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates03.png
+   :align: center
+
+.. tip::
+    Note that you can also configure a default 
+    Manufacturing lead time from here.
+
+At route level
+--------------
+
+The internal transfers that a product might do due to the movement of
+stocks can also influence the computed date.
+
+The delays due to internal transfers can be specified in the **inventory**
+app when creating a new push rule in a route.
+
+Go to the push rules section on a route form to set a delay.
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates06.png
+   :align: center
+
+At sale order level:
+--------------------
+
+-  **Requested date**:
+
+Odoo offers the possibility to select a requested date by the client by
+indicating the date in the other information tab of the sales order.
+If this date is earlier than the theoreticaly computed date odoo will
+automatically display a warning.
+
+.. image:: media/scheduled_dates07.png
+   :align: center
+
+Example
+=======
+
+As an example, you may sell a car today (January 1st), that is purchased
+on order, and you promise to deliver your customer within 20 days
+(January 20). In such a scenario, the scheduler may trigger the
+following events, based on your configuration:
+
+-  January 19: actual scheduled delivery (1 day of Sales Safety days)
+
+-  January 18: receive the product from your supplier (1 day of Purchase
+   days)
+
+-  January 10: deadline to order at your supplier (9 days of supplier
+   delivery lead time)
+
+-  January 8: trigger a purchase request to your purchase team, since
+   the team need on average 2 days to find the right supplier and
+   order.

+How to process delivery orders in three steps (pick + pack + ship)?
+===================================================================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+When an order goes to the shipping department for final delivery, Odoo
+is set up by default on a **one-step** operation: once all goods are
+available, they can be shipped in bulk in a single delivery order.
+However, that process may not reflect the reality and your company may
+require more steps before shipping.
+
+With the **three steps** process (**Pick + Pack + Ship**), the items are
+transferred to a packing area, where they will be assembled by area of
+destination, and then set to outbound trucks for final delivery to the
+customers.
+
+A few configuration steps are necessary in order to accomplish **Pick +
+Pack + Ship** in Odoo. These steps create some additional locations, which
+by default are called **Output** and **Packing Zone**. So, if your warehouse's
+code is ``WH``, this configuration will create a location called ``WH/Output``
+and another one called ``WH/Packing Zone``.
+
+Goods will move from **WH/Stock** to **WH/Packing Zone** in the first step.
+Then move from **WH/Packing Zone** to **WH/Output**. Then finally it will be
+delivered from **WH/Output** to its **final destination**.

+How to choose the right flow to handle receipts?
+================================================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Depending on factors such as the type of items you receive, the size of
+your warehouse, the number of receipt you register everyday... the way you
+handle receipts to your customers can vary a lot.
+
+Odoo allows you to handle receipts from your warehouse in 3 different
+ways:
+
+-  **One step**: Receive goods directly in stock.
+
+-  **Two steps**: Unload in input location then go to stock.
+
+-  **Three steps**: Unload in input location, go through a quality control
+   before being admitted in stock.
+
+Odoo uses **routes** to define exactly how you will handle the different
+receipt steps. The configuration is done at the level of the warehouse.
+In standard, the reception is a one step process, but changing the
+configuration can allow to have 2 or even 3 steps.
+
+The principles are the following:
+
+1. **One step**: You receive the goods directly in your stock.
+
+2. **Two steps**: You receive the goods in an input area then transfer them
+   from input area to your stock. As long as the goods are not
+   transferred in your stock, they will not be available for further
+   processing.
+
+3. **Three steps**: In many companies, it is necessary to assess the
+   received good. The goal is to check that the products
+   correspond to the quality requirements agreed with the
+   suppliers. Adding a quality control step in the goods receipt
+   process can become essential.
+   
+   You receive the goods in an input area, then transfer them into
+   quality area for quality control. When your quality check
+   process finishes then you can move the goods from QC to stock.
+   Of course, you may change the quantity and only transfer to
+   Stock the quantity that is valid and decide that you will
+   return the quantity that is not good.
+
+Configuration

+How to add a quality control step in goods receipt? (3 steps)
+=============================================================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+In many companies, it is necessary to assess the received good. The goal
+is to check that the products correspond to the quality requirements
+agreed with the suppliers. Therefore, adding a quality control step in
+the goods receipt process can become essential.
+
+Odoo uses routes to define exactly how you will handle the different
+receipt steps. The configuration is done at the level of the warehouse.
+By default, the reception is a one step process, but changing the
+configuration can allow to have 2 or even 3 steps.
+
+The 3 steps flow is as follows: You receive the goods in an input
+area, then transfer them into quality area for quality control. When
+the quality check has been processed, you can move the goods from QC
+to stock. Of course, you may change the quantity and only transfer to
+stock the quantity that is valid and decide that you will return the
+quantity that is not good.
+
+This is the case that will be explained in this document.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Use advanced routes
+-------------------
+
+To allow management of routes, go to the menu
+:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`.
+
+.. image:: media/three_steps06.png
+   :align: center
+
+Ensure that the routes option **Advance routing of product using
+rules** is checked, then click on **Apply** to save changes.
+
+Make sure that **Manage several locations per warehouse** is also
+ticked.
+
+How to add a quality control step in goods receipt?
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Go to the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Warehouse` and
+choose the warehouse where you want to change reception methods.
+
+By default, warehouses are configured with one step reception (**Receive
+goods directly into stock**).
+
+To add quality control before transfer goods into stock location, tick
+**Unload in input location, go through a quality control before being
+admitted in stock (3 steps)**.

+What's the difference between lots and serial numbers?
+======================================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+In Odoo, lots and serial numbers have similarities in their functional
+system but are different in their behavior. They are both managed within
+the **Inventory**, **Purchases** and **Sales** app.
+
+**Lots** correspond to a certain number of products you received and store
+altogether in one single pack.
+
+**Serial numbers** are identification numbers given to one product in
+particular, to allow to track the history of the item from reception to
+delivery and after-sales.
+
+When to use
+-----------
+
+**Lots** are interesting for products you receive in great quantity and for
+which a lot number can help in reportings, quality controls, or any
+other info. Lots will help identify a number of pieces having for
+instance a production fault. It can be useful for a batch production of
+clothes or food.
+
+**Serial numbers** are interesting for items that could require after-sales
+service, such as smartphones, laptops, fridges, and any electronic
+devices. You could use the manufacturer's serial number or your own,
+depending on the way you manage these products
+
+When not to use
+---------------
+
+Storing consumable products such as kitchen roll, toilet paper, pens and
+paper blocks in lots would make no sense at all, as there are very few
+chances that you can return them for production fault.
+
+On the other hand, giving a serial number to every product is a
+time-consuming task that will have a purpose only in the case of items
+that have a warranty and/or after-sales services. Putting a serial
+number on bread, for instance, makes no sense at all.

+How to work with serial numbers?
+================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Serial Number Tracking is used to track products with serial numbers on
+every transactions. You can track the current location of the product
+with serial numbers. When the products are moved from one location to
+another location, the system will automatically identify the current
+location of the product based on last movement of the product. So you
+can get the last location where the products are moved.
+
+The double-entry management in Odoo enables you to run very advanced
+traceability.
+
+Setting up
+==========
+
+Application configuration
+-------------------------
+
+You need activate the tracking of serial numbers in the settings. In the
+**Inventory** application, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`, 
+select **Track lots or serial numbers**.
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers01.png
+   :align: center
+
+Then click on **Apply**.
+
+Product Configuration
+---------------------
+
+Finally, you have to configure which products you want to track in lots.
+
+Go into :menuselection:`Inventory Control --> Products`, and open the product 
+of your choice. Click on **Edit**, and in the **Inventory** tab, select **By Unique
+Serial Number**, then click on **Save**.
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers02.png
+   :align: center
+
+Manage Serial Numbers
+=====================
+
+Transfers
+---------
+
+In order to process a transfer of a product tracked by serial number,
+you have to input the number(s).
+
+Click on the serial number icon :
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers03.png
+   :align: center
+
+A window will pop-up. Click on **Add an item** and fill in the serial
+numbers.
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers04.png
+   :align: center
+
+If you move products that already have serial numbers assigned, those
+will appear in the list. Just click on the **+** icon to to confirm that you
+are moving those serial numbers.
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers05.png
+   :align: center
+
+.. note::
+    In the scanner interface, you just have to scan the serial numbers.
+
+Inventory adjustment
+--------------------
+
+Inventory of a product tracked by serial numbers can be done in 2 ways:
+
+-  Classic inventory by products
+
+-  Inventory of a serial number
+
+When doing a classic inventory, there is a **Serial Number** column. If the
+product has already been assigned with a number, it is already
+pre-filled.
+
+Click on **Add an item** if the product has not been inventoried yet. You
+can easily create serial numbers, just type in a new number in the
+column.
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers06.png
+   :align: center
+
+The quantity should be 1 for each line.
+
+You can also just do the inventory of a serial number. In this case, you
+will have to fill in the serial number. You can also create a new one
+from here. Just type in the number, a window will pop out to link it to
+a product.
+
+.. image:: media/serial_numbers07.png

+
+Serial Number traceability
+==========================
+
+The serial number given to these items allow you to keep track of where
+they were received, put in stock, to whom they were sold and where they
+were shipped to.
+
+To track an item, open the **Inventory** module, and in :menuselection:`Inventory
+Control --> Serial Numbers/lots`, click on the serial number corresponding
+to your search.

+How to manage stock that you don't own?
+=======================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Some suppliers can sometimes offer you to store and sell products
+without having to buy those items: this technique is called **consignee
+stock**.
+
+Consignee stock is a great way for manufacturers and suppliers to launch
+new products. As resellers may be reluctant to buying a product that
+they are not sure to be able to sell, consignee stock will allow them to
+propose an item to check its market without having to pay for it in the
+first place.
+
+Odoo has the ability to manage consignee stocks through the advanced
+settings.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Open the menu :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`, 
+and in the **Product Owners** section, select **Manage consignee stocks (advanced)**,
+then click on **Apply**.

+How to configure and run schedulers?
+====================================
+
+What is a scheduler
+===================
+
+The scheduler is the calculation engine which plans and prioritises
+production and purchasing automatically according to the rules defined
+on products. By default, the scheduler is set to run once a day (Odoo
+automatically creates a **Scheduled Action** for this).
+
+Calculating Requirements / Scheduling
+-------------------------------------
+
+Scheduling only validates procurements that are confirmed but not yet
+started. These procurement reservations will themselves start
+production, tasks or purchases depending on the configuration of the
+requested product.
+
+You take into account the priority of operations when starting
+reservations and procurements. Urgent requests, those with a date in the
+past, or requests with a date earlier than the others will be started
+first. In case there are not enough products in stock to satisfy all the
+requests, you can be sure that the most urgent requests will be produced
+first.
+
+Configure and run the scheduler
+===============================
+
+Run the scheduler manually
+--------------------------
+
+This feature is not visible by default. You have to enable **debug mode** to
+see this. To enable debug mode, go to :menuselection:`Help --> About` and click on
+**Activate the developer mode**.
+
+You can also start the scheduler manually from the menu 
+:menuselection:`Inventory --> Schedulers --> Run Schedulers`. The scheduler 
+uses all the relevant parameters defined for products, suppliers 
+and the company to determine the priorities between the different 
+production orders, deliveries and supplier purchases.

+How to scrap products?
+======================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Scrap means waste that either has no economic value or only the value of
+its basic material
+
+content recoverable through recycling.
+
+In your warehouse you sometimes find products that are damaged or that
+are unusable due to expiry or for some other reason. You often notice
+this during picking or physical inventory.
+
+Since you cannot normally sell or store these products, you have to
+scrap product.
+
+When goods are scrapped they are not reflected in the system as a part
+of the inventory. The scrapped material will be physically moved to
+scrap area.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+When you install inventory management, odoo automatically creates one
+default scrap location, namely **Virtual location/Scrapped**.
+
+To create an extra scrap location, Go to 
+:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Setting`
+and check **Manage several locations per warehouse**,
+then click on **Apply**.
+
+.. image:: media/scrap06.png
+   :align: center
+
+After applying **Manage several location per warehouse**, you can create
+a new scrap location in 
+:menuselection:`Configuration --> Warehouse Management --> Locations.`
+
+.. note::
+    To define a scrap location, you have to check **Is a Scrap Location?** 
+    on location form view.
+
+Different ways to scrap product
+===============================
+
+Odoo provides several ways to scrap products.
+
+1) Scrap from Receipt (Initial Demand tab).
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+To scrap product from incoming shipment, Go to 
+:menuselection:`Inventory --> Dashboard --> Receipts`.
