🌏 Commodity Warehouse

Silo & Bin Management for Bulk Commodity Storage — Capacity Tracking, Fumigation Control, Temperature Monitoring & Odoo Inventory Integration

✓  Odoo 19.0 Community and Enterprise  |  OPL-1 License

🎯 Value Proposition

Commodity Warehouse turns Odoo’s native stock locations into purpose-built commodity silos and bins with real-time capacity utilization, fumigation lifecycle tracking with withholding period enforcement, temperature monitoring with threshold alerts, and seamless commodity intake that creates stock moves automatically — all while staying fully integrated with standard Odoo inventory.

📊

Real-Time Utilization

Capacity % computed live from Odoo quants — no manual stock counts needed
🚬

Fumigation Compliance

Withholding period enforcement prevents premature clearance of treated silos
🌡

Temperature Alerts

Configurable thresholds with automatic activity alerts when exceeded

🌟 Key Benefits

📦

Native Stock Location Integration

Silos and bins are standard stock.location records — all Odoo inventory reports, quant tracking, and picking workflows work out of the box without custom plumbing.

📋

Structured Commodity Intake

Record every delivery into the warehouse with operator, batch number, grade, and commodity type. Confirmation creates the stock move from supplier to silo automatically.

🚬

Fumigation Lifecycle Control

Track every fumigation from scheduling through in-progress, withholding, and clearance. The system enforces the withholding period — you cannot clear a silo before the clearance date.

🔔

Proactive Condition Monitoring

Computed silo condition (Good / Attention / Critical) based on temperature, utilization, and fumigation status. Daily crons trigger activity alerts before problems escalate.

Commodity Warehouse

The Commodity Warehouse module extends Odoo's native stock.location model into purpose-built commodity silos and bins with real-time capacity utilization, fumigation lifecycle tracking, temperature monitoring with threshold alerts, and structured commodity intake that creates stock moves automatically. It is part of the Grevlin Agribusiness Suite.

Overview

This module adds commodity storage management on top of standard Odoo inventory locations. Silos and bins remain stock.location records, so all Odoo inventory reports, quant tracking, and picking workflows continue to work without modification.

Key Capabilities

  1. Silo & Bin Management -- silos and bins as native stock locations with dedicated commodity type, capacity in tons, and computed utilization percentage.
  2. Commodity Intake -- structured intake records with auto-generated sequence, batch number, grade, and operator tracking. Confirmation creates a stock.move from supplier to silo.
  3. Fumigation Tracking -- full fumigation lifecycle (scheduled, in progress, withholding, cleared) with chemical/dosage recording, withholding period enforcement, and certificate attachments.
  4. Temperature Monitoring -- temperature and humidity readings per silo with configurable thresholds and auto-computed alert flags.
  5. Silo Condition Engine -- computed condition (Good / Attention / Critical) based on temperature, utilization, and fumigation status.
  6. Inter-Silo Transfers -- one-click creation of internal stock.picking transfers between silos.
  7. Scheduled Crons -- daily temperature alert checks and 90-day fumigation schedule reminders for stocked silos.

Note

This module depends on grev_od_commodity_base for shared commodity types, grades, and centralized security groups. It integrates optionally with commodity_delivery for intake sourcing and agri_traceability for batch tracking.

Configuration

Creating Silos

  1. Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Warehouses` and select the warehouse where the silo is located.
  2. Navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Locations`.
  3. Click :guilabel:`Create`.
  4. Enable :guilabel:`Is Commodity Silo`.
  5. Set:
  6. Click :guilabel:`Save`.

Creating Bins

Bins are child locations of a silo.

  1. Open the parent silo location.
  2. Click :guilabel:`Create` on a child location.
  3. Enable :guilabel:`Is Commodity Bin`.
  4. Set :guilabel:`Capacity (Tons)` for the bin.
  5. The :guilabel:`Dedicated Commodity` auto-fills from the parent silo when changed via the onchange handler.
  6. Click :guilabel:`Save`.

Tip

Bins inherit the commodity type from their parent silo automatically. You can override this on individual bins if needed.

Scheduled Actions

Two crons ship with the module. Both are active by default.

Cron Frequency Purpose
Temperature Alert Check Daily Creates activity alerts on silos where the last temperature reading exceeds the configured threshold.
Fumigation Schedule Check Daily Creates activity reminders on stocked silos that have not been fumigated in over 90 days.

Security Groups

This module uses the centralized commodity security groups defined in grev_od_commodity_base:

Commodity User (group_commodity_user)

  • Read-only access to silos, bins, intakes, fumigation records, and temperature readings.

Commodity Officer (group_commodity_officer)

  • Create and edit silos, bins, intakes, fumigation records, and temperature readings.
  • Cannot delete records.
  • Inherits Commodity User permissions.

Commodity Manager (group_commodity_manager)

  • Full CRUD including delete on all warehouse models.
  • Inherits Commodity Officer permissions.

Note

Multi-company record rules apply to all models using the pattern ['|', ('company_id', '=', False), ('company_id', 'in', company_ids)].

Usage

Recording a Commodity Intake

  1. Navigate to :menuselection:`Commodity --> Warehouse --> Intakes`.
  2. Click :guilabel:`Create`.
  3. Fill in:
  4. Click :guilabel:`Confirm`. This creates a stock.move from the supplier location to the selected silo (or bin).

Managing Fumigations

  1. Open a silo location form.
  2. Click the :guilabel:`Fumigation Records` tab or navigate to :menuselection:`Commodity --> Warehouse --> Fumigations`.
  3. Click :guilabel:`Create`.
  4. Fill in :guilabel:`Chemical`, :guilabel:`Dosage` (e.g. 5g/m3), and :guilabel:`Withholding Period (Days)`.
  5. Use the workflow buttons:
  6. Optionally attach a fumigation certificate via the :guilabel:`Certificate` field.

Important

The system enforces the withholding period. Attempting to clear a fumigation before the clearance date raises a UserError.

Recording Temperature Readings

  1. Navigate to :menuselection:`Commodity --> Warehouse --> Temperature Readings`.
  2. Click :guilabel:`Create`.
  3. Select the :guilabel:`Silo`, enter :guilabel:`Temperature` and optionally :guilabel:`Humidity`.
  4. Click :guilabel:`Save`. The :guilabel:`Alert Triggered` flag computes automatically if the reading exceeds the silo threshold.

The silo form displays :guilabel:`Last Temperature` and :guilabel:`Condition` (Good / Attention / Critical) as computed fields.

Creating Inter-Silo Transfers

  1. Open the source silo location form.
  2. Click :guilabel:`Create Silo Transfer`.
  3. The system creates an internal stock.picking pre-filled with the silo as source location.
  4. Add stock move lines for the products to transfer.
  5. Validate the picking through the standard Odoo workflow.

Reading the Silo Condition

The :guilabel:`Condition` field on silos is computed automatically:

Condition Trigger
Critical Temperature exceeds threshold OR utilization > 95%.
Attention Temperature > 85% of threshold, utilization > 80%, or silo is under active fumigation.
Good All parameters within normal range.

Technical Details

Data Model

Model Type Description
stock.location Extended Adds silo/bin flags, capacity, utilization, fumigation, and temperature fields.
grev.commodity.intake Model + mail.thread Commodity intake records with stock move creation.
grev.commodity.fumigation Model + mail.thread Fumigation lifecycle records with withholding enforcement.
grev.commodity.temperature.reading Model Temperature and humidity readings per silo.

Dependencies

  • base -- Odoo core.
  • stock -- Odoo Inventory for stock.location, stock.move, stock.picking, and stock.quant.
  • mail -- chatter and activity tracking.
  • grev_od_commodity_base -- commodity types, grades, and security groups.

Troubleshooting

Utilization Shows 0% Despite Stock

Symptom: A silo contains stock but silo_utilization_pct shows 0.

Checks:

  1. Verify :guilabel:`Capacity (Tons)` is set to a value greater than 0 on the silo location.
  2. Confirm stock quants exist on the silo location (check :menuselection:`Inventory --> Reporting --> Inventory Valuation` or the stock.quant model directly).
  3. The field is compute + store=True and depends on quant_ids.quantity. If quants were created externally, trigger a recompute by saving the location record.

Fumigation Cannot Be Cleared

Symptom: Clicking :guilabel:`Clear` raises an error.

Checks:

  1. The clearance date is computed as fumigation date plus the withholding period in days. The system blocks clearance before this date.
  2. Verify the :guilabel:`Withholding Period (Days)` is correct.
  3. Wait until the clearance date or adjust the withholding period if it was set incorrectly.

Temperature Alerts Not Triggering

Symptom: No activity alerts despite high temperature readings.

Checks:

  1. Confirm the Temperature Alert Check scheduled action is active.
  2. Verify the silo has :guilabel:`Max Temperature Threshold` set.
  3. Check that :guilabel:`Last Temperature` on the silo exceeds the threshold -- the cron only alerts when last_temperature is greater than max_temperature_threshold.
