This workflow ensures that when a product is needed for a sales order or transfer, the system automatically pulls it from the location that is physically closest to the destination point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enable Storage Locations:<\/strong> From the Odoo web application, navigate to the <strong>Inventory<\/strong> module and go to <strong>Configuration<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Settings<\/strong>. Ensure that <strong>Storage Locations<\/strong> is enabled under the &#8220;Warehouse&#8221; section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Access Location Settings:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Inventory<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Configuration<\/strong> -&gt; <strong>Locations<\/strong>. Choose a specific warehouse location (e.g., WH\/Stock) to configure its default logistics behavior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set Removal Strategy:<\/strong> In the selected location\u2019s form, locate the <strong>Removal Strategy<\/strong> field under the &#8220;Logistics&#8221; section. Select <strong>Closest Location<\/strong> from the dropdown menu. This tells Odoo to prioritize proximity when fulfilling outgoing requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assign Removal Strategy to Products:<\/strong> You can also apply this strategy at the product or product category level if you want specific items to always be pulled from the nearest available shelf.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a Sales Order:<\/strong> Navigate to the <strong>Sales<\/strong> module and create a <strong>New<\/strong> order. Add a product that is stored in multiple warehouse locations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirm and Validate Delivery:<\/strong> Confirm the sales order to generate a delivery transfer. Open the delivery and check the <strong>Source Location<\/strong>. Odoo will have automatically selected the bin or shelf closest to your packing\/shipping area, reducing travel time for warehouse staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The steps below guide you through setting up the &#8220;Closest Location&#8221; removal strategy in Odoo 18.
