Hi,

You're absolutely right.

In Odoo, the reservation method determines when and how the system reserves stock for delivery orders. Setting the reservation method to "Manually" gives you full control over the stock reservation process. Reservation Methods in Odoo:

1. At Confirmation:
   • Stock is reserved immediately when the delivery order (DO) is created (e.g., confirming a sales order).
   • Best for high-availability products.
2. Manually ✅:
   • No automatic reservation.
   • You or a warehouse manager must manually click "Check Availability" on the delivery order.
   • Useful when stock is limited or subject to change.
3. Before Scheduled Date:
   • System reserves products a set number of days before the scheduled delivery date.
   • Can be configured from the Operation Type settings (like "Delivery Orders").

Set Reservation Method to "Manually":

1. Go to Inventory > Configuration > Operation Types.
2. Open the operation type you want to change (e.g., Delivery Orders).
3. In the field Reservation Method, select "Manually".
4. Save the changes.

This is especially useful for made-to-order workflows or low-stock/high-demand situations, where you want to control which orders get priority.
