01
Purchasing reacts too late
Demand signals, supplier lead times and available stock are reviewed in separate files or conversations.
Distribution and wholesale
Control every movement from purchase order to collection.
ANU connects procurement, stock, pricing, fulfilment and finance so teams work from the same operational record.

What ANU changes
ANU helps distribution and wholesale companies define accountable order-to-cash and procure-to-stock workflows, then implements those controls in Odoo. The goal is reliable stock evidence, governed commercial decisions and clearer visibility across warehouses and finance.
Where operational control breaks.
02
Stock movement lacks evidence
Receipts, transfers, reservations and adjustments do not consistently identify what moved, when and who approved it.
03
Commercial exceptions are informal
Price changes, discounts and credit decisions happen outside a visible approval path.
04
Delivery and finance lose the handoff
Delivered quantities, invoices, returns and collection follow-up are difficult to reconcile as one flow.
A controlled distribution flow
The workflow links demand, physical movement and financial evidence without adding unnecessary approvals.
Plan demand
Review sales demand, available stock, committed quantities and supplier lead times.
Procure
Raise and approve purchase requirements against defined supplier and budget rules.
Receive
Verify quantities and exceptions before stock becomes available for allocation.
Allocate and pick
Reserve confirmed stock and record accountable warehouse preparation.
Deliver and invoice
Connect fulfilment evidence, returns and customer invoicing.
Collect and review
Track receivables, credit exposure, margin exceptions and unresolved orders.
Odoo implementation map
Configure the platform around the work.
Modules support the operating model. They do not replace the decisions, ownership and evidence the process requires.
Purchasing and replenishment
Purchase / Inventory
Connect approved requirements, supplier orders, expected receipts and stock availability.
Warehouse control
Inventory / Barcode
Structure locations, receipts, transfers, reservations, counts and governed adjustments.
Pricing and order control
Sales / Approvals
Apply defined price lists and route material commercial exceptions for review.
Invoicing and collections
Invoicing / Accounting
Link delivered orders to invoices, credit notes and receivables follow-up.
Questions to settle before implementation.
Can Odoo manage more than one warehouse?
Yes. The design can represent multiple warehouses, internal locations and transfer rules, provided the physical process and ownership are defined first.
Will an ERP fix inaccurate inventory?
Software alone will not. Accuracy depends on controlled receiving, movement, counting and adjustment practices implemented with the system.
Can discounts and credit limits require approval?
They can be governed through roles, thresholds and exception workflows matched to the company policy.
Where should a distribution implementation begin?
Begin with the highest-risk flow, usually purchasing and inventory or order-to-cash, then expand from stable master data and controls.
