Reply : In Odoo Inventory, replenishment refers to the process of maintaining optimal stock levels by automatically generating purchase orders or transfer orders to replenish inventory when it falls below a certain threshold. Odoo Inventory provides several replenishment methods that can be configured based on your specific business needs. 

Here's an overview of how replenishment works in Odoo Inventory:

1. Reordering Rules: Reordering rules are used to define the replenishment parameters for each product. A reordering rule consists of various criteria such as minimum stock, maximum stock, and preferred supplier, among others.

2. Minimum Stock Rule: The minimum stock rule specifies the minimum quantity of a product that should be maintained in stock. When the stock level of a product falls below this threshold, Odoo triggers the replenishment process.

3. Replenishment Methods: Odoo Inventory offers different replenishment methods:
a. Make to Order: With this method, a purchase order is generated when a sale order is confirmed or a manufacturing order is created. It is suitable for products that are not typically stocked but are produced or purchased based on customer demand.
b. Make to Stock: This method is used for products that are stocked in advance based on anticipated demand. Purchase orders are automatically generated when the stock level falls below the minimum threshold.
