Stock Pick
Cart

1. Install the Module

   Ensure the following modules are installed first: Inventory (stock), Barcode (stock_barcode), Batch Picking (stock_picking_batch), Batch Picking Barcode (stock_barcode_picking_batch), and Delivery (delivery). Then install Stock Pick Cart from the Apps menu.

   💡

   Auto-created on install: Security access rights for cart and tote records are configured automatically. No manual access setup is needed.

2. Create Tote Types

   Go to Inventory → Configuration → Tote Types and define each tote size you want to use. The screenshots show examples such as Large Clear, Small Clear, and Diaper Box, each with its own volume.

3. Create Cart Types

   Open Inventory → Configuration → Cart Types and create the cart layouts used in your warehouses. In the example flow, there are 3 Tote Cart, 4 Tote Cart, and 9 Tote Cart records, each linked to a tote type and tote count.

   Field	Description
   Name	The cart layout name shown to users, for example 3 Tote Cart or 9 Tote Cart
   Tote Type	The tote size this cart layout is built for, such as Large Clear or Small Clear
   No of Tote	The number of tote slots available on that cart layout

4. Create Pick Carts per Warehouse

   Open Inventory → Configuration → Pick Cart and create a record for each physical cart. Set the cart barcode, choose the cart type, and assign the warehouse. The form view in the screenshots shows carts such as IN/Pick/3 Tote Cart/Cart 1 and PA/Pick/9 Tote Cart/Cart 1.

   📓

   Totes tab: Each pick cart contains its tote rows directly on the form, including the tote barcode, tote type, and volume. This is the structure that the wave assignment later uses in the Barcode app.

5. Review the Cart Totes List

   Open Inventory → Configuration → Totes to confirm every tote barcode has been generated or entered correctly. The list view shows the tote name, barcode, volume, and tote type for all carts across all configured warehouses.

   ✅

   Verification checklist:

   • Each physical cart has the right warehouse assigned
   • Every tote row has a unique barcode
   • The tote type matches the cart layout
   • The number of totes on the cart matches the cart type definition

6. Generate Waves with the Manual Wave Wizard

   Go to Inventory → Operations → Manual Wave. Select one or more warehouses, choose the delivery method, and optionally filter by product categories or expected delivery date. Clicking Generate Wave creates one or more wave transfers and shows their references in the confirmation popup.

   ⚠️

   Wave prerequisites: The wizard works with ready pickings that are not already assigned to another batch, and it requires pick carts to be configured for the selected warehouse.

7. Review the Wave Transfer Before Picking

   Open the created wave in Inventory → Operations → Wave Transfers. The form shows the operation type, assigned pick cart, cart type, carrier, and the detailed operations table with one tote assignment per transfer. From here you can also print labels and launch the Barcode flow.

Printing Tote Labels

From any wave transfer, click Print Labels to generate the tote labels used during picking. The labels tie the physical cart slots to the digital transfers shown on the wave form and in the Barcode app.

• The tote barcode for scanning in the Barcode app
• The picking reference linked to this tote
• The destination location so pickers know where to drop the tote

End-to-End Wave Flow

Detailed Step-by-Step

1. Create the Wave Batch

   A warehouse manager opens the Manual Wave Wizard, selects warehouses and a delivery method, applies optional date/category filters, and generates the wave. The confirmation popup lists the wave references that were created.

2. Review the Wave Transfer

   Before picking starts, the manager can open the wave transfer and verify the assigned pick cart, cart type, carrier, and tote-to-transfer mapping in the detailed operations table.

3. Open the Batch in Barcode

   The picker opens Barcode → Operations → Batches and selects the in-progress wave. The batch card shows the wave reference, cart type, carrier, and line count before the picker enters the job.

4. Scan the Assigned Pick Cart

   Inside the batch, the first banner asks the picker to Scan Pick Cart. Once the correct cart barcode is scanned, the barcode screen updates to show the tote assignments for each transfer in the batch.

   • The wave header shows the selected cart and carrier
   • Each transfer row displays its assigned tote name
   • The picker cannot start the batch until the cart scan step is complete

5. Pick by Tote and Source Location

   For each transfer, the Barcode app shows the assigned tote prominently and then prompts the picker to scan the source location and products. As quantities are completed, the transfer cards turn green and the Validate button becomes available.

6. Validate the Wave and Review Results

   Once all transfers are complete, the picker taps Validate. The wave moves to Done, and the linked pickings show the wave history and tote assignment that was used during execution.

Before You Start

Make sure the assigned physical cart is available, tote labels are attached to each slot, and you have a scanner or mobile device running the Odoo Barcode app.

Step-by-Step Picking

1. Open the Batch Queue

   Open the Odoo Barcode app and go to Operations → Batches. Select the in-progress wave assigned to your warehouse team. The batch card shows the wave reference, carrier, cart type, and the number of transfer lines.

2. Scan the Cart Barcode

   When the batch opens, the first banner asks you to Scan Pick Cart. Scan the barcode on the physical cart assigned to that wave before attempting any picking.

   💡

   If you scan the wrong cart, the app will show an error. Pick up the correct cart shown on screen before proceeding.

3. Confirm the Tote Assignments

   After the cart is scanned, each transfer row shows the tote assigned to it, such as IN/Pick/3 Tote Cart/Cart 3/Tote 1. Use those on-screen tote names to place products into the correct cart slot.

4. Scan Source Location and Products

   Follow the next barcode prompts for the transfer. The screenshots show the app asking for the source location and then for the products/quantities on each line. Pick the item and place it into the tote shown on that row.

   • Scan the requested source location when prompted
   • Scan the product barcode and complete the requested quantity
   • Watch the line counters change from 0/1 to 1/1

5. Repeat Until All Rows Turn Complete

   Continue through each transfer in the batch. When a transfer is fully picked, its row turns green and the line counter shows that the required quantity is complete.

6. Validate the Wave

   Once all rows are complete, tap Validate. The wave moves to Done, and the completed transfers remain linked to the wave and their tote assignments on the standard Odoo forms.
