Receipts & deliveries

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

1. From the Inventory dashboard open Receipts to receive purchases or Deliveries to ship sales.
2. Pick the transfer; those from purchase/sale orders are created automatically as Ready or Waiting.
3. Review the Demand and enter the actual Done quantities; partial receipt/delivery is allowed.
4. Note the Reservation: Odoo reserves available quantities automatically; use Check Availability when needed.
5. Click Validate to post the transfer; the stock balance in the location then updates.
6. If Done is less than Demand, choose Create Backorder to track the remaining quantity later.
7. Follow the status sequence: Draft → Waiting → Ready → Done.
8. For a standalone manual transfer use New and set the source and destination locations before validating.
