1. Batch and Wave Picking: State-of-the-art Automation

It is now possible to automate the creation of picks in waves. By grouping transfers into waves or batches, Odoo V18 displays elements common to all transfers (such as contacts or locations) directly in the batch description. This simplifies management and improves the traceability of movements in your warehouses.

2. Reliquat creation and transfer flexibility

You can now split a shipment before release to deliver products to different locations or on different dates. This level of flexibility enables you to manage your logistics more finely, meeting the needs of companies who need to manage multiple shipments.

3. Traceability of inter-company batches and series

One of Odoo V18's most powerful additions is the ability to trace batch and serial numbers across multiple companies. During inter-company transfers, batch and serial number information is fully preserved, guaranteeing total transparency in product tracking, even between different business partners.

4. A more efficient dashboard

Odoo has redesigned the inventory dashboard user interface to make it more intuitive and efficient. This reorganization allows users to save time by quickly accessing critical information, while simplifying navigation.

5. Shipment and delivery round management

Shipment management has been enhanced with the ability to plan delivery rounds, whether with your own fleet or a third-party service provider. This simplifies logistics and enables deliveries to be better organized according to available resources.

6. Simplified Return with Automatic Transfer Creation

Creating a return in Odoo V18 is now simpler than ever. When a return is created, a transfer is automatically generated to return the new products to the right location. This feature facilitates the processing of customer returns and reduces errors.

7. Change Location Without Creating a New Transfer

Odoo V18 now allows you to modify the location of a parcel without having to create a new transfer, thanks to the use of the Kanban view. This enhancement enables faster, more flexible inventory management.

8. Improved storage strategies

The new storage strategy rules enable incoming products to be stored close to existing stock. This optimizes warehouse organization and makes it easier to pick products according to demand.

9. Improved delivery tracking

Tracked products that are not recorded when received now appear as untracked products in transfers, enabling proactive inventory management and better visibility of delivery status.

New User Interface The barcode module benefits from a new, more intuitive and ergonomic design, to facilitate the user experience when using the scanners.

Product creation via the barcode lookup database When scanning a product, Odoo now prompts the user to create a product using information extracted from the barcode lookup database, saving time and avoiding input errors.

Batch series grouping Batch series of the same product can now be grouped together and the addition of unwanted products can be deactivated in order picking, reducing the risk of errors and improving picking accuracy.

Hiding Reserved Quantities and Lots A new feature lets you hide the assumed quantity or reserved lots and serial numbers in transfers, simplifying the display for users and facilitating inventory management.

RFID Authentication support Odoo V18 now supports RFID scanners, enabling even faster and more accurate inventory management for products fitted with these tags. This improves the efficiency of the receiving and stock adjustment process.

Multi-Serial Number Scanning and QR Codes A revolutionary feature enables a QR code containing several serial numbers to be scanned at once. This simplifies the batch management process, particularly for large-scale product deliveries.

Signing delivery with a barcode Companies making their own deliveries can now use a scanner to record the customer's signature directly via a barcode, guaranteeing rapid confirmation of product receipt.
