How to Simplify Inter-Warehouse Resupply Using Odoo?
For businesses managing inventory across multiple locations, one of the biggest operational challenges is keeping stock levels balanced between warehouses. Whether you're running a retail chain with several branches or overseeing logistics for a growing enterprise, managing transfers manually can be time-consuming and prone to error.
This is where Odoo's built-in "Resupply From" feature becomes a game-changer.
As a digital consulting company and an official Odoo Ready Partner, we help businesses like yours streamline your process through smart digital solutions–and this is one feature we always recommend for businesses with multiple warehouses.
What Is "Resupply From" in Odoo?
The “Resupply From” functionality allows you to automate the movement of goods from one warehouse to another. This is particularly useful if your company operates with a central warehouse that receives all purchases, which are then distributed to various stores or secondary locations.
Once activated, this feature enables Odoo to create a seamless supply route between your warehouses, cutting down on manual tasks and keeping your inventory aligned across locations.
Why It Matters for Your Business
Using the "Resupply From" feature offers several benefits:
- Reduces Manual Work: Say goodbye to creating internal transfers by hand.
- Improves Stock Accuracy: Keep inventory levels up-to-date across all locations.
- Supports Growth: Scale your business with confidence, knowing your supply chain keep up.
- Saves Time: Focus on strategy and customer service instead of internal logistics.
This tool is especially effective for retail businesses, manufacturers with satellite storage units, or any company needing better internal stock coordination.
Expert Tip: Set It Up Right
To make the most of this feature, make sure your central warehouse is configured properly. Choose between:
- Buy to Resupply - for items sourced externally
- Manufacture to Resupply - for items you produce in-house
- Or both, depending on your business model
Also, don't skip the reordering rules – these keep your supply chain running smoothly and avoid stockouts.
