Reception workflow

Can somebody explain the workflow of the new module Reception?

Steps I did after activating the module

  1. On purchase order --> Create Reception
  2. Entered in field “Quantity to be dispatched” the item I received.
  3. Submit Create Reception
  4. A new form shows up where I have to create another reception (don’t know why?!?)
  5. Validate the reception

No stock is added and the status of the reception is “Validated (products to ship or already shipped)”
I’m confused. The module is called reception and is activated on Purchase Orders.
Why is the status “products to ship”? I was expecting “products received”

Please help. Can not figure it out.

Hello,

you validate the new “form” which is the “enveloppe” of the dispatch (that will contain the re-validated movements)
Then you re-validate the quantities you entered before (and batch numbers if activated)
And you should have the quantities populated in stock

It is the only way if you want to re-edit a mistake on a reception,
and believe me, there are sometimes many…

The old system made it possible to do it in one step, but when there xas a mistake, there was no rollback, no possibility to re-édit in draft mode, and also, no possibility for a sepcific reception to upload a document (receipt paper) very useful when you have one supplier order + 5 delivery receipts + 5 invoices… so now you can create one invoice for one or more receptions.

Di you get the idea of the new workflow ?

Hello @HubZ
I’ve made some specific development for one of my customer on the “old” (but efficient) dispatch page that allow to edit or delete already dispatched lines at the bottom of the screen.
I understand that the “new” reception page also allow to generate an invoice for multiple receptions but it is really awful to use it when you do not need this (too many clicks !).
Do you think i should propose my code for integration ? i’m afraid the PR will be refused…

Hello Christophe, I think it should be acceptable, as the “old” workflow is not deprecated, and “new” workflow has to be activated…

For PR acceptance, try to push it, it depends how it’s coded, maybe Eldy will suggest modifications ? :slight_smile:

The big issue in old workflow is that it must check if the products are still in stock (not already shipped) if you “rollback” the movement… Else it may make a “negative” stock issue…

I have never seen it in fuction and I would be curious to check it if possible !

Thanks !
