Short answer

How do I trace product batches with my AI?

Your AI uses Odoo Inventory tools to find specific lot numbers and pull the full movement history for those batches. You'll get exact locations and transit logs without digging through Odoo menus. This breakdown shows you how to pull those details.

Where the data goes.

What you get from batch tracking.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of searching and filtering through your inventory records.

SEARCH

Find specific lots

The AI identifies exact lot numbers based on your description. You get the specific identifiers needed for tracking.

TRACK

See movement history

The AI pulls the full list of stock moves for a batch. You see exactly how a product moved through your warehouse.

LOCATE

Check current status

The AI finds where a batch is sitting right now. You get the current stock state without manual lookups.

HUMAN

Verify physical stock

The AI provides the digital record. You still need to perform physical counts if the digital data doesn't match your shelf.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for batch info.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Odoo database.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change stock levels in Odoo?

    No. The AI can only read and search existing data. It cannot create, edit, or delete stock moves or lot records.

  • 02

    Does the AI need my Odoo password?

    No. You connect via Vinkius, and your credentials are kept encrypted. The AI uses the connection to pull data, not by logging in as you.

  • 03

    Can I track batches across different warehouses?

    Yes, as long as those warehouses are part of the Odoo instance you connected.

  • 04

    Can the AI fix a mistake in a lot number?

    No. The AI is read-only for these tools. If a lot number is wrong in Odoo, you have to fix it manually in the Odoo interface.

  • 05

    How detailed is the movement history?

    The AI can see every stock move recorded in Odoo for the specific lot you identify.
