Dedicated support
Extends Odoo’s batch transfer (batch picking) functionality to give warehouse operators better control over batches that contain partially-processed or empty transfers. Prevents Odoo’s default behaviour of validating zero-quantity pickings and adds a “Prepare Batch” wizard for quickly grouping receipts or deliveries from sales/purchase orders into a single batch.
Key features:
- Empty-picking management on validate— when the Validate button is pressed on a batch, pickings that have all done quantities equal to zero are handled according to the
deltatech_batch_keep_pickingssystem parameter:- (default, parameter absent) empty pickings are automatically removed from the batch; only non-empty pickings are validated. Removed pickings can be manually added to another batch.
- (parameter present) empty pickings are kept in the batch but skipped during validation, allowing them to be processed later (not recommended with the barcode interface).
- Prepare Batch wizard— creates a new batch from open sale or purchase order receipts/deliveries for a selected partner; optionally sets done quantities from a product list.
- Add to Batch button— shortcut button on the stock picking form to attach a single transfer to an existing batch.
- Extra batch fields—
Direction(incoming/outgoing),Reference, andNoteadded to the batch transfer form for better identification and traceability. - Received lines tab— dedicated notebook tab on incoming batches showing only move lines with quantity > 0 (bold) vs. zero-quantity lines (muted).
- Deliveries batch report— PDF report that prints all delivery documents in a batch in a single action.
Configuration
System parameter: deltatech_batch_keep_pickings
This parameter controls how empty pickings (all done quantities = 0) are handled when a batch is validated.
Location: Settings > Technical > Parameters > System Parameters
| Parameter key | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
deltatech_batch_keep_pickings |
(not present / absent) | Empty pickings are removed from the batch on validate. They can be manually added to another batch. (recommended) |
deltatech_batch_keep_pickings |
True |
Empty pickings are kept in the batch but skipped during validation; they remain for later processing. Not recommended when using the barcode interface. |
To configure:
- Go to Settings > Technical > Parameters > System Parameters.
- Search for
deltatech_batch_keep_pickings.- If the parameter does not exist (default), empty pickings are removed on validate — no action needed.
- To keep empty pickings in the batch, click Create, set the key
to
deltatech_batch_keep_pickingsand the value toTrue.
- Save. The change takes effect immediately on the next batch validation.
Usage
Prepare a batch from purchase/sale orders
- Go to Inventory > Warehouse Management > Prepare batch (menu added by this module).
- The Prepare Batch wizard opens. Fill in:
- Partner — the supplier (purchase mode) or customer (sale mode) whose open transfers you want to group.
- Responsible — the user responsible for the batch.
- Reference — optional reference label for the batch.
- Mode — choose Purchase (incoming) or Sale (outgoing).
- Set done qty — tick to pre-fill done quantities from the product list below; leave unticked to keep the demand quantities.
- Lines (visible in Purchase mode) — optional product/quantity list to restrict which products are included and at what quantity.
- Click Confirm. The wizard finds all open pickings for the selected partner and mode, creates a confirmed batch, assigns availability, and opens the new batch.
Alternatively, from a Sale Orders list view select one or more orders and use the action Prepare batch (bound to the sale order list) — the wizard pre-fills the customer and sets mode to Sale.
Add a single transfer to a batch
- Open any transfer (Inventory > Transfers) that is not yet in a batch.
- Click the Add to batch button (visible when the transfer has no batch assigned and is not in state Done/Cancelled).
- The standard Odoo “Add to batch” dialog opens; select or create the target batch and confirm.
Validate a batch (empty-picking handling)
- Open the batch (Inventory > Batch Transfers).
- Process the transfers normally (scan barcodes or fill in done quantities).
- Click Validate. The module inspects each picking:
- Pickings where no move line has a done quantity > 0 are treated
according to the
deltatech_batch_keep_pickingsparameter (see CONFIGURE). - Non-empty pickings proceed to validation as usual.
- Pickings where no move line has a done quantity > 0 are treated
according to the
Print the Deliveries batch report
- Open a batch transfer.
- Click Print > Deliveries (report bound to batch transfers).
- A PDF is generated containing the standard delivery document for each picking in the batch.
Reading the batch form
The batch form shows three extra fields added by this module:
- Reference— free-text identifier, visible next to the picking type.
- Note— additional notes for the batch.
- Direction— read-only field showing Incoming or Outgoing.
- Receivedtab — available on incoming batches; lists only move lines that have a done quantity > 0 (shown in bold); zero-quantity lines appear muted.
