Sale/Purchase Order Line Description to Pickings
by Cerevantix Technologies https://www.cerevantix.com$ 21.71
Line descriptions that actually reach the warehouse
Carry the custom notes typed on sale and purchase order lines straight onto delivery and receipt pickings, with live re-sync, safe manual override, and printing on the slip.
The special instructions your sales and purchasing teams type on order lines — engraving notes, handling remarks, QA holds — vanish before they reach the picking. Operators pack and receive blind, phoning back to the office or guessing, which causes mispicks and errors.
Every sale and purchase order line description flows onto the matching delivery, receipt, and internal transfer, stays in sync when the line changes, and prints on the slip — so the warehouse always sees exactly what sales and purchasing captured.
Both directions, done right
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Sale Order to Delivery
The custom description on each sale order line is copied onto the delivery order and its underlying stock moves, so packers see the same note sales wrote.
Purchase Order to Receipt
Purchase order line descriptions carry onto receipts and inbound transfers, so inbound instructions such as quarantine or inspection notes reach the receiving team.
Prints on the Slip
The transferred description appears on the printed delivery slip and picking operations report, not just the on-screen form — the tangible document operators and customers hold.
Live Re-sync
Edit a sale or purchase order line after the picking exists and the not-yet-done transfer updates automatically, so the warehouse never works from stale text.
Safe Manual Override
A warehouse user can edit the description on the picking. The edit is flagged as manual and is never silently overwritten by a later re-sync.
Source Indicator
Each picking description shows where it came from — Sales, Purchasing, or a manual edit — ending the recurring “which description is this?” confusion.
Fill-Blank-Only Mode
An optional conditional-sync setting fills only empty descriptions and never replaces existing text, giving you control over how aggressively re-sync runs.
Batch Re-sync Wizard
Select many transfers at once and refresh their descriptions from the source orders in one action, with an explicit option to overwrite manual edits when you need to.
One-step and Three-step
Descriptions survive multi-step routing, so the note is present whether you ship in one step or route through pick, pack, and ship.
How it works
Enable Sync
Turn on the sale and purchase toggles in Inventory Settings.
Write the Note
Type the description on the sale or purchase order line as usual.
Confirm the Order
The description lands on the delivery or receipt automatically.
Pick & Print
Operators see and print the note on the picking and slip.
See it in action
Real screens from the module, captured on Odoo 17.
A delivery order carrying the sale order line notes — engraving instructions, a warehouse pack-last remark, and a fragile ship-upright caution.
A receipt carrying purchase order line notes — a kiln-dried moisture spec and a per-carton QC weld check reach the receiving team.
One clear place to switch it on: sale descriptions, purchase descriptions, and an optional fill-blank-only rule, all in Inventory Settings.
Batch Re-sync wizard: refresh descriptions across many selected transfers at once, with a deliberate overwrite-manual-edits toggle. Completed transfers are left untouched.
Frequently asked
Does it work for both sales and purchases?
Yes. Sale order line descriptions flow onto delivery pickings and purchase order line descriptions flow onto receipts, so a single app covers both outbound and inbound flows.
What happens if I edit the order line after the picking exists?
The description on any not-yet-done picking re-syncs automatically to match the updated line. Completed transfers are never changed.
Will a re-sync overwrite a note a warehouse user typed?
No. A manual edit on the picking is flagged as manually overridden and is preserved through automatic re-syncs. You can still force an overwrite deliberately from the batch wizard.
Does the description print on the delivery slip?
Yes. The transferred text is rendered on the printed delivery slip and picking operations report, so the note reaches the person physically handling the goods.
