Agree with Ferdinand, although that'd be "Receipt", singular, to match "list" which is also singular. Also, "Reception" is incorrect as that is for people arriving somewhere; "Receipt" is for goods.
Scott Hamilton, author of "Maximizing your ERP System" and "Managing your supply chain using Microsoft Navision", uses the terms "Receipt", "Purchase Order Receipt" and "Purchase Receipt". He also uses "Pick list" rather than "Picking list", although I am accustomed to "Picking...", and "Picking..." (rather than "Pick...") is more consistent with "Packing...". See also: http://accounting-financial-tax.com/2008/09/inventory-terms-and-definitions-from-a-to-z/ So, to reiterate/summarise, I'd recommend: * Picking list * Packing list * Receipt or Purchase Order Receipt or Purchase Receipt (to distinguish it from a Cash Receipt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681331 Title: The term "picking list" should be changed Status in OpenObject Addons Modules: Triaged Bug description: The term "picking" in OpenERP is used too broadly in OpenERP for logistic experts to understand the concept behind it. It has been repeatedly reported that "picking" (or actually, "pick list") only relates to gathering goods before they are shipped. So please : - change "picking list" for something clearly generic, for example "logistic operation" - change for something more specific when the context allows it : - gathering goods to be sent => "pick list" ( http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4535&view=viewpoll ) - internal moves => "transfer" - outgoing moves to customers => "shipping" or "delivery" - incoming moves => "reception" IMHO this can wait until v6.0 is released but would greatly improve the usability of OpenERP.
