Receipts bring in vendor goods and deliveries send out customer goods; validating the transfers is what actually updates stock levels.
Path: Inventory ← Operations ← Receipts / Deliveries
- From the Inventory dashboard open Receipts to receive purchases or Deliveries to ship sales.
- Pick the transfer; those from purchase/sale orders are created automatically as Ready or Waiting.
- Review the Demand and enter the actual Done quantities; partial receipt/delivery is allowed.
- Note the Reservation: Odoo reserves available quantities automatically; use Check Availability when needed.
- Click Validate to post the transfer; the stock balance in the location then updates.
- If Done is less than Demand, choose Create Backorder to track the remaining quantity later.
- Follow the status sequence: Draft → Waiting → Ready → Done.
- For a standalone manual transfer use New and set the source and destination locations before validating.
