The physical locations architecture is very confusing. I have a multi-company scenario with several warehouses across the US. All companies share the same warehouses so I have assigned the warehouses as the parent company.
Structure is:
Warehouse A -> Physical Location Warehouse A -> QC -> Stock
Warehouse B - > Physical Location Warehouse B -> QC -> Stock
Now it seems with the [documentation](https://doc.openerp.com/6.1/book/5/5_14_Stock/5_14_Stock_inv/#location-addresses), I need the warehouse to actually be the company instead of an actual warehouse and the doc describes the actual warehouses as physical locations. As in:
Company -> Physical Location Container -> Physical Location Warehouse A -> QC -> Stock
Company -> Physical Location Container -> Physical Location Warehouse B -> QC -> Stock
If this is the case, I would be creating a warehouse under `Warehouse -> Configuration -> Warehouses` to be the Company. If this is the case, this menu item needs to be altered not to be so confusing. I've already created both Warehouse A and Warehouse B and can no longer delete them because of integrity errors. I should only have one Company location here and thus it isn't actually a warehouse at all, it's a container for warehouses.
The doc is also confusing because it says:
> To do this in OpenERP, you would> create a third warehouse ‘France’
> which consolidates the warehouses in> Paris and Bordeaux.
Followed by:
> You create the following physical> locations: > - Company > - - Output > - - Warehouses France > - - - Warehouse Paris > - - - Warehouse Bordeaux
So am I creating a third warehouse? Or a physical location? One is under Warehouses and one is under Locations and they are very different things. This needs serious clarification, as well as screenshots instead of just a formatted list.
Now, after creating all of my locations, I would like to view the stock associated with each location. When viewing the results of `Location Structure -> Location -> View Current Inventory` is shows ALL inventory instead of the current inventory in that location. I expect selecting the parent location, it shows all inventory in that parent and it's children. Selecting the child location should return only inventory in that child as in:
Select Parent = Child A Inventory + Child B Inventory + Child C Inventory
Select Child A = Child A Inventory !Child B Inventory !Child C Inventory
Currently, it returns all inventory instead of just the selected location.
In summary, how do I create the location structure I need to show me inventory at each location and at each location child? Once I have created this structure, how to I view inventory from each location? As a bonus, if you can tell me how to delete the unnecessary locations I've already added and bypass the integrity error that would be excellent.
