I'm implementing my first Odoo site, which is a manufacturing company. Our process is for the design of a new product is DR1=Concept, DR2=Customer sign-off of the design, DR3=Production drawings produced. It is at DR3 stage that we would add the product and BOM to Odoo. Then we have DR4, which is post-production changes and this is when I see PLM coming into play. What would be the recommended way to monitor the progress from stages DR1 to DR3? PLM doesn't seem the right way to do this because the product and BOM don't exist at that point. Would Projects be a better way to keep track of where the new product design is up to? Thanks

Can you archive the Product after creating it for the purposes of managing it through PLM at the DR1 Stage (you have to create *something* right - just create the NAME at this point?) and then unarchive it at the DR3 stage and complete the product setup? This way everything is in PLM. Make an ECO type "NEW INTRO" to segregate this type of work? If you save the ECO after creating it and click the newly created product you can Archive it from the Action Menu. You can also pass "active=False" through the context for the Product field so all newly created Products made from ECO's are archived by default.
Thank you very much for your advice @ray. I did consider a process similar to what you suggest but I wasn’t sure whether there was a better way that I wasn’t aware of. I’ll go with this.
