Hello Elites, I have tried studying how Dolibarr works, but I can’t wrap my head over it. I want to know if the system can run normal Filling station work operations.
We are knows Large underground tanks are used as the primary storage for fuel at a petrol station.
For instance, Fuel tankers deliver large quantities of fuel to the station, and the product is stored underground storage tanks. The manager’s take stock inventory of the actual volume of litres delivered and entered into the system.
The following could be a solution.
Example: You get 100.000 liters delivered, therefor a distributor/supplier order is created, this adds the 100.000 liter to the stock.
Manager does the inventory and
A) manually reduces (daily/weekly/…) the stock e.g. -2351 liter by a stock correction
or
B) starts a physical inventory in dolibarr, where you can enter the measured liters
Thank you so much for your response, I’m deeply grateful. Yet, I’m still confused. How am I going to create and allocate several pump to the stock where they will be selling from? And how can I create the physical stock?
I think this is just possible with artciles which belong to the same stock e.g. Fuel 1 or Fuel 2.
You can assign a default stock for each article
Article: Fuel 1 - Pump 1 → stock Fuel 1
Article: Fuel 1 - Pump 2 → stock Fuel 1
Article: Fuel 2 - Pump 3 → stock Fuel 2
Article: Fuel 2 - Pump 4 → stock Fuel 2
If you sell for e.g. 50 liter of “Fuel 1 - Pump 1” it gets deducted from stock “Fuel 1”
And you have statistics for this article as well, so you know how much has been sold each time.
Under “product & services” you can create first stocks and than products (articles)
Maybe others have other solutions.
Arnold, I am so grateful for your time taking to reply to my message. It’s really goes a long way. I will take my time applying your method and definitely will get back to you ASAP. Thanks once again Arnold.
Best regards
Peter.
Arnold, as much as I have tried applying this Idea, I am not getting it. Please can you try and break it down for me step by step. I really will appreciate. Thank you.
Hi Peter,
the use case for a patrol station sounds very interesting to me. Wouldn’t it be good if each time the pump is “consuming” several liters from the underground tank this process would be registered by Dolibarr. So you start the day with 10.000 liters and each time someone pumps the amout of liters would be deducted. In the evening you see automaticaly 2.454 liters left. So time to refill?
In fact the way dolibarr works your Product would be fuel A, fuel B, fuel C with individual quantities, individual pricing, …
Cheers,
Kim
Hello Kim, I am sorry for replying late. It seems you get my point. But I am curious as to how I can implement this idea with Dolibarr complexity. Please your step by step explanation will go a long way bro.
Thanks for your time.
Hello Peter,
to entirely automate it we would need to know what kind of data you can get from the pump. Anyways this will require an additional Module in Dolibarr. Doesn’t seam to be to complex depending on the no. of pumps.
Okay, do you suggest I make Third party the PUMP ?
I sent you a private message. Let’s do a quick online meeting.
I think that ideally you’d make a resilient system which could include some kind of queuing system.
Ideally your pumps would send the data to your dolibarr using the api - and possibly some queuing system for resilience, but you could also go the other way, where Dolibarr (regularly) pulls the pump for data. Possibly both for resiliency
Please from where did you sent the message. Thanks for your time
you see left side the menu bar. there you can select my messages and see it there.
I am as well having issue with stock…after creating product I dont see where i can input physical stock. so therefore the product is not listing under stock.
Please find attched pictures for more clarity.
Did you enable the stock module in the configuration? (I don’t use that part of Dolibarr).
I think that you need to find one of your product, and then there is a Stock tab
Yeah, got it. many thanks bro. God bless you.
