Tryton module for stock and inventory

Project description

Stock Module
############

The stock module defines fundamentals for all stock management
situations: Locations where products are stored, moves between these
locations, shipments for product arrivals and departures and inventory
to control and update stock levels.

Location
********

Locations are generic places where products are physically or
virtually stored. The following location types are defined:

* Storage

Storage locations define real places where products are stored.

* Warehouse

Warehouses are meta-locations which define input, storage, picking and output
locations. These locations are all of type Storage. Input and Output are
locations where incoming an outgoing product are temporally stored awaiting
transportation. The storage location is often the biggest location where
products are stored for middle or long periods of time. The picking location
is optionally where the products are picked by the customer shipment
otherwise the storage location is used.

* Customer

Customer locations are virtual locations accumulating products that
have been sent to customers.

* Supplier

Supplier locations are virtual locations accumulating products that have
been received from suppliers.

* Lost And Found

Lost And Found locations collects inventory gaps. See
:ref:inventory for details.

* Drop

Drop locations are virtual locations used as intermediary locations in the
process of drop shipping.

* Production

Production locations are used during the production of products.

* View

View locations are virtual locations that can be used to logically group
other location types.

Locations are organised in tree structures, allowing to define
fine grained structures.
It is possible to restrict a location to have only one level of children, this
allows to improve the performance of the stock quantity computation.

Location Lead Time
------------------

It allows to define the time needed for an *Internal Shipment* between two
warehouses.


Move
****

A move is a movement of a product in a given quantity between two
locations. It may eventually defines a unit price and a currency for
the products that are moved from or to another company, allowing to
compute stock value at any time (and to update the cost prices if the
chosen cost price method is *Average*). A move also defines a planned
date (when one plan to do the move) and an effective date (when the
move is actually made). Products that are used in stock move must of
of type *Goods* or *Assets*. Stock levels are ignored for
consumable, this means that they can be always assigned. *Service*
products are ignored by the stock module.

A move can be in one of this states:

* Draft

The initial state, used when the move is created and to define
future stock movement that are planned, but still subject to
modifications.

* Assigned

An assigned move allow to reserve some products. Thus preventing
other user to assign them.

* Done

The move is in state Done when the real movement is made.

* Cancel

A cancelled move will be ignored by the system. Only Draft or
Assigned move can be cancelled. To revert a move in state Done, an
opposite move must be created.

* Staging

A phantom state used to create in advance move that should not be taken for
stock computation.


Product Quantities
++++++++++++++++++

Product quantities on each location are the sum of all moves coming
from or going to this location. For quantities that are computed for
a date in the past, only confirmed moves (i.e. in state Done) with an
effective date inferior to the considered date are taken into account,
reflecting the real situation. For future quantities, Draft and
Assigned move with a planned date greater than today and smaller than
the given date are also summed.


Shipment
********

A Shipment define a group of moves happening at the same date and
around the same location.


Supplier Shipment
+++++++++++++++++

A supplier shipment is used when products are received from a
supplier. It is mainly composed of a party (the supplier), a location
(the warehouse in which the products are coming) and two list of moves:

* Incoming moves

The moves between the supplier location and the input location
(as defined on the warehouse).

* Inventory moves

The inventory moves are between the input location and the storage
location (or one of his child locations).

If the storage location is configured as the same as the input location only
incoming moves are created.


The supplier shipment can be in one of this states:

* Draft

Incoming moves and inventory moves (if they exist) are in draft.

* Received

Incoming move are set in state Done, inventory moves are created if
necessary.

* Done

Inventory and incoming moves are in state Done.

* Cancel

All moves are cancelled.


Customer Shipment
+++++++++++++++++

A customer shipment is used for sending products to customer. It is
mainly composed of a party (the customer), a location (the warehouse
out of which the product are going) and two list of moves:

* Inventory moves

The moves between the picking or storage location and the output location of
the warehouse

* Outgoing moves

The moves between the output location of the warehouse and a
customer location.

If the picking or storage location is configured as the same as the output
location, then only outgoing moves are created and no assignation is done.


The customer shipment can be in one of this states:

* Draft

Outgoing moves and inventory moves (if they exist) are in draft.

* Waiting

When a customer shipment is set to waiting, the inventory moves are
created (or completed) to balance the outgoing moves. The waiting
state also means that the shipment should be processed.

* Assigned

The assigned state is when products have been assigned (or reserved)
from the storage locations.

* Packed

The packed state is when the inventory moves have been made, i.e
when the products have been physically moved to the outgoing
locations.

* Done

The shipment is Done when the outgoing moves have been made,
e.g. when a truck left the warehouse.

* Cancel

A shipment which is not yet completed (not in state Done) can be
cancelled at any time. This also cancel all the moves.


Internal Shipment
+++++++++++++++++

An internal shipment is used for sending products across locations
inside the company. It is mainly composed of two locations and a list
of moves. It can be in one of these states:


* Draft

The moves (if they exist) are in draft.

* Waiting

The waiting state means that the shipment should be processed.

* Assigned

The assigned state is when products have been assigned.

* Done

The shipment is Done when the moves have been made.

* Cancel

A shipment which is not yet completed (not in state Done) can be
cancelled at any time. This also cancel all the moves.



Inventory
*********

Inventories allow to control and update stock levels. They are mainly
composed of two locations (a Storage location and a Lost And Found
location), and a list of inventory lines.
Inventory lines consist of a product and it's default unit of measure, an
expected quantity and the real quantity (the real products on the shelves).

A button allows to auto-complete inventory lines with respect to the expected
quantities for each product in the location.
Another button allows to launch a wizard to count products by adding the
quantity to the existing matching line.

When the inventory is confirmed, moves are created to balance expected
quantities and real ones.

.. warning::
Inventory is not suited to import initial stock level especially if other
cost price method than `fixed` is used.
Individual moves from supplier to each locations must be used with the cost
price as unit price.
