Questions about switching
How do my items come over from Odoo Inventory?
Items are set up in Stock ▸ Items, each with its variants, its unit and its printed codes; a UPC, EAN or GTIN is one code, and Scan to Link adds codes by walking the stockroom with a scanner. Recipes come in from a spreadsheet through the recipe import, each row made through the one recipe writer and answered for itself.
How do my stock levels come across?
Opening stock is entered at each location with its cost, which starts the item's cost layers, or it is counted in: start a count, scan in any order or count by voice, and approving the count sets the stock at each location.
Do my suppliers and purchase orders move over?
Suppliers are added in Procurement ▸ Suppliers. Open orders are raised again as purchase orders: kept as a draft or sent for approval, emailed to the supplier from the business's connected mailbox, and received in part or in full on one receive form with the lot, expiry, invoice price and freight.
