307 Figure 21.14: List of packing operations to be done The packing orders are presented in priority order of despatch so the storesperson must begin with the orders at the top of the list. Confirm that your packing list has been created by looking for the customer name Agrolait or by its reference SO007 . Tip: Packing and Delivery Depending on whether you work in the simplified or extended mode you may need a further step to make a delivery to your customer, so you would have to carry out the two steps: • picking list, • delivery order.

21.5.5 Invoicing at delivery

Periodically the administrator or an accountant can send invoices based on the deliveries that have been carried out. To do that, you can use the menu Warehouse → Warehouse Management → Outgoing Deliveries. You then get a list of all the deliveries that have been made but have not yet been invoiced. So select some or all of the deliveries. Click on the action Create Invoice. Open ERP asks if you want to group the deliveries from the same partner into a single invoice or if you would prefer to invoice for each delivery individually. Figure 21.15: Invoicing of deliveries 308 Invoices are generated automatically in the Draft state by Open ERP. You can modify invoices before approving them finally. Figure 21.16: List of invoices generated by the system based on deliveries Once you have reviewed the different invoices that were generated, you can confirm them one by one or all at once by using the available actions. Then print the invoices using the multiple print option and send them to your customers by post.

21.5.6 Traceability

Now suppose that the customer phones you to tell you about a production fault in a delivered product. You can consult the traceability through the whole manufacturing chain using the serial number indicated on the product MB1. To look through the detailed history, use the menu Warehouse → Traceability → Production Lots. Find the product corresponding to the product or lot number. Once it is been found you can use traceability as described in the section Management of Lots and Traceability in the Your Warehouse chapter.

21.6 Production order in detail

To open a Production Order, use the menu Manufacturing → Manufacturing → Manufacturing Orders and click on New button. You get a blank form for entering a new production order as shown in the figure New production order .
