I have multiple subcontractors and I would like to configure a separate virtual location for each subcontractor in Odoo. Each virtual location should have its own accounting configuration (i.e., different stock input/output and valuation accounts).

Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:

  • Create individual virtual locations (e.g., "Subcontractor A", "Subcontractor B").
  • Assign specific accounting accounts to each location.
  • Use these locations in subcontracting flows so that each subcontractor’s transactions are tracked separately in inventory and accounting.
  • Ensure the correct accounts are used automatically when stock moves related to each subcontractor happen.

Is this possible in Odoo (preferably using the standard features), and what is the best way to configure this setup?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The subcontractor location can be updated from contact > Sales and purchase tab > inventory section.

This would need the developer mode to turned on.

To manage multiple subcontractors in Odoo with separate virtual locations and distinct accounting, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Setup:

1. Create Virtual Locations:

  • Go to Inventory > Configuration > Locations
  • Click Create
  • Set Location Type to Vendor or Internal, depending on your needs
  • Name the location clearly (e.g., “Subcontractor A Location”)

2. Assign Subcontractors:

  • Create or edit subcontractor vendors in Purchases > Vendors
  • Link their deliveries or operations to their respective virtual location in your subcontracting BoM or stock rules

3. Enable Subcontracting:

  • Go to Manufacturing > Configuration > Settings
  • Enable Subcontracting

4. Set up Separate Accounting (if needed):

  • Go to Accounting > Configuration > Chart of Accounts
  • Create subcontractor-specific expense accounts
  • Then, in Inventory Valuation / Product Categories, assign those accounts appropriately for items handled by subcontractors

5. Use Routes and Rules:

  • Under Inventory > Configuration > Routes, define custom routes per subcontractor
  • This helps in directing goods flows through the right virtual location

This setup ensures that you can track stock and cost flows per subcontractor accurately.
