Features

• Partner roles — res.partner.is_sgr_returo flags the RetuRO system administrator; is_sgr_transporter flags logistics operators picking up bags. Both fields appear on the partner form and act as filters on pickup pickers.
• Default RetuRO partner on the company — res.company.sgr_returo_partner_id pre-fills the destination on every new pickup so warehouse users never have to look it up.
• Serialized seal lifecycle — nexterp.sgr.seal tracks each seal serial through available → used → confirmed, with a unique-serial per-company constraint and a Receipt Reference field for the delivery note number.
• Pickup events — nexterp.sgr.pickup (sequence SGR/PICKUP/00001) with lines per SGR category, the seals tab, totals, mail thread and a state machine draft → done → reconciled (plus cancel).
• One-click stock transfer — confirming a pickup creates a stock.picking from the warehouse's SGR Returns location to the stock.stock_location_customers, with one move per pickup line.
• Reconciliation step — Mark Reconciled on the pickup transitions the linked seals to confirmed, matching RetuRO's confirmation at the sorting centre. Cancellation reverts seals to available so long as the linked picking is not yet done.
• Three monthly RetuRO exports — the nexterp.sgr.report.wizard produces semicolon-delimited UTF-8 CSV files for sales placed on market, seals handed over and consumer returns, with optional warehouse filter. File names follow SGR_<report>_<from>_<to>.csv.
• Tracked & audited — pickups inherit mail.thread / mail.activity.mixin so every state change leaves a trail and questions from RetuRO can be answered with proof.

Configuration

1. RetuRO administrator partner

Open Contacts and create (or open the existing one for) RetuRO SGR SA. Flag it RetuRO Administrator under the SGR roles group on the partner form. The demo data set ships this partner pre-created.

2. Default RetuRO partner on the company

Open Settings → Companies → [your company] and set RetuRO Partner to the contact created above. This becomes the default value on every new pickup, so warehouse users don't have to set it manually.

3. Transporter partners

For each logistics operator picking up bags from your sites, create a contact and flag it SGR Transporter. You can have multiple transporters; the pickup form lets you choose the right one per handover.

4. Seal stock

When the transporter delivers fresh seals and empty bags, register each seal under Inventory → Reports → SGR → RetuRO → Seals:

• One row per seal serial.
• Set Receipt Reference to the transporter's delivery note number for traceability.
• State stays Available until used on a pickup.

You can register them one at a time from the list view, or use the standard Import feature with a CSV file supplied by the transporter.

5. Warehouse SGR Return Location

Make sure each warehouse used for SGR has its SGR Return Location configured (this is the standard nexterp_sgr field). Confirming a pickup requires this location to be set — that's where the stock transfer will source the empties from. If it's missing, the module raises a clear error pointing back to the warehouse form.

6. Sequence

The SGR/PICKUP/00001 sequence is created automatically on install through data/sequence_data.xml. Tweak it under Settings → Technical → Sequences if you need a different prefix or padding.

How it works

Pickup workflow

A. Empties pile up in SGR Returns

Day to day, empties received from consumers land automatically in the warehouse's SGR Returns location:

• through nexterp_sgr_pos when the cashier uses the SGR Return button at the till;
• through a manual customer-return picking when the return is taken at a counter outside POS.

B. When the transporter comes for pickup

1. Go to Inventory → Reports → SGR → RetuRO → Pickups → New.
2. Pick the date, warehouse, transporter and RetuRO partner (the last one defaults from the company setting).
3. Lines — add one row per SGR category with the quantity handed over. Quantities must match what is physically in the SGR Returns location; the Total Deposit Value updates live based on the deposit rate effective on the pickup date.
4. Seals Handed Over — link the seals applied to the bags. Pick from seals currently in Available state, or create new ones inline if the transporter brought unannounced ones.
5. Confirm. The module generates a stock transfer from SGR Returns to the Customers location, transitions the linked seals to Used, and stamps the picking origin with the pickup name (SGR/PICKUP/00001).
6. When RetuRO confirms the counts at their sorting centre, reopen the pickup and click Mark Reconciled — the seals move to Confirmed.

C. Cancelling

If you confirmed a pickup by mistake, click Cancel on the pickup. The module refuses if the linked stock transfer is already done (cancel that first); otherwise it reverts the seals to Available and sets the pickup to Cancelled.

Monthly RetuRO reports

1. Open Inventory → Reports → SGR → RetuRO → Export Monthly Reports.
2. Pick the period (defaults to the current calendar month) and, optionally, a warehouse filter.
3. Click each of the three buttons; each one downloads a CSV file.

CSV format is UTF-8, semicolon-delimited, with a header row.

Email the three files to raportare_comercianti@returosgr.ro on the first day of each month, for the previous month (per HG 1074/2021 and contractual obligations). RetuRO returns an autofactura through e-factura within 10 working days, covering both the deposit and the handling fee (TG).

Seal management tips

• Use the Available / Used / Confirmed filter on the seals list to spot serials that haven't moved in too long.
• Archive seals you've damaged or lost before use, so the list stays clean.
• Reverting a used seal to available manually is restricted to the stock manager group — do it only after a clean pickup cancel.
