Odoo 10 - stock_move vs stock_picking

Question

I would like to understand differences between:

stock_move table

and

stock_picking table

what are they both used for? which are the differences between both?

Answer 1

A stock picking represents an operation, let's say, you taking some goods from location A to location B. You move 10 item A and 10 item B. A stock move represents the action of moving 10 items A from location A to location B. Another stock move is the action of moving 10 item B from location A to location B.

A stock picking may contain several stock moves. The stock picking is the moving operation. Stock moves represent individual stock movement.
