Woow Jaideep Thank you so much for your help. It nearly works like a charm. What I could achieve is

1. in case there is only light products there is a pick and pack process. (Perfect)

2. in case there is only heavy products there is only a pack process (without picking) (Perfect)

3. in case there is a mix of heavy and light products I have the problem that I have 1 picking process and two packing processes. The thing is most likely that the picking process sends the products from stock to "Warehouse:Delivery orders" and from there to the customer whereas the heavy products are send direct from "Warehouse:Stock" to the customer. In this case Odoo does not have the same source location for the shipment and creates two shippings. I would prefer to have it all in one shipping. Thank you

Hi Jaipeed,

sorry for bothering you again. I have tried your suggestion

"Sorry, my bad.. the source location on the route for heavy products (1 step route) requires to be Source location - 'WH/Output'"

but I think it is still not correct or at least I don't get it working.

The light products (the two step route) goes from stock to output and from output to the customer. If for the heavy products I set the route as Source location - 'WH/Output' I still need to get it there. Since the heavy products are lying on stock I need to get them from stock to output somehow and then from output to the customer which would be again two steps.

Or did I get your answer wrong?

Hi Jaideep,

Thank you a lot for the clarification. I now understand and you are absolutely right. I just imagined WH/Output being a place just for shipments however never concidered this place as a possible place for stock which of course can also be used as.

So as you say if I store heavy products in Output and create my shelves etc there Odoo will ask me to move light products from stock to Output and since heavy products are already in Output only one shipping process will be created towards the customer from Output.

Awesome answer Jaideep and thank you a lot.

Hi Simon,

What you mention is absolutely correct. Heavy product would require to be moved from Stock to output, this doesn't require to be done at the time of delivery but at the time of storage.

WH/Stock or WH/Output are locations and, in more way, than 1 represent a physical area within your warehouse. Let's assume you store Heavy in area A and light in area B. For delivering an order, a light product is first moved from area A (stock) to area B (output) then shipped. However, for heavy product, since they are already stored in Area B they are shipped direct to customer.

Prior to initiating 2 step deliveries, inventory had only 1 location (WH/Stock) and all your products were stored in that location. With 2 steps, Odoo has split the warehouse into 2 identifiable locations - WH/Stock & WH/Output.

Now, we would need to identify to Odoo the storage location for each of your products, so inventory can keep track. This can be done in multiple ways 1. if you buy you can modify in the receive routes 2. If you manufacture you can modify the manufacturing routes 3. You can define 'Putaway rules' for the product category, so that each time a product of this category arrives in a location it is automatically moved to appropriate location.

The 3rd option is what I had suggested in my post

>>> You would also require to configure putaway rules related to these product categories, to ensure stock availability at these locations <<<<

You can define this from Inventory > Product categories >Putaway Rules (on top right of the form), Here you can create a rule for Heavy product category -> when a product arrives in WH/Stock --> Store to WH/Output

The putaway rule will keep track of stock the stored location of product
