Tracking Receipt of Goods: When you confirm a purchase order, Odoo automatically creates a receipt (delivery order) if you are purchasing stockable products. Go to the Inventory app to track the receipt of goods. The delivery order will show the status of the delivery (e.g., Waiting Availability, Ready to Transfer, Done). Once the goods are received and validated, the delivery order will be marked as "Done." 2.
