In standard Odoo behavior, when a delivery order is split (such as during partial deliveries or backorders), shipping labels may be unnecessarily generated for all transfers—regardless of which one actually needs to be shipped. This can lead to confusion, label waste, and shipping errors.
The Silverdale Selective Shipping Label on Transfers feature solves this by introducing precise control over shipping label generation. With this module, shipping labels are only created for the active transfer that is being validated, ensuring clean and accurate handling during fulfillment.
Key Features
- Generate shipping label only for the current transfer being validated.
- Avoids label duplication across related backorders or split deliveries.
- Improves clarity for warehouse teams by reducing unnecessary documents.
- Fully compatible with multi-package, multi-transfer, and partial delivery workflows.
- Works seamlessly with integrated carriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx, MyCarrier, EasyPost).
User Workflow
- Go to Inventory > Delivery Orders.
- Validate a transfer (even part of a split delivery or backorder).
- System generates the shipping label only for that transfer, not all associated ones.
- Proceed with shipment using accurate documentation.
Benefits
- Prevents accidental shipment of incorrect or unprepared items.
- Keeps delivery paperwork clean and relevant to the current step.
- Ideal for businesses handling large-volume shipments, partial deliveries, or third-party logistics (3PLs).
- Reduces cost and confusion from extra label printing.
This module ensures accurate logistics and warehouse efficiency by applying intelligent shipping label logic—only where it’s truly needed.
