I am new to Odoo and using version Odoo 16.
The biggest bottleneck so far is the UoM I am getting raw material from vendors, the UoM we are using during inventory management and the UoM we sell the final product to the customer are different.
To put the problem in precise words, here is the problem statement:
We manufacture Aluminium Windows on the basis of Client's requirement.
Typical Control Flow is like:
- Stage 1: We send quotations on per square feet basis
- Stage 2: We procure the material and specifically Aluminium Extrusion (Sections) are the most expensive and substantial part of the purchase order and is invoiced by a vendor on per kg basis
- Stage 3: We receive and store material not in Kg but in Units because we can not handle it in Kg.
- Stage 4: We handover the material to shop floor for manufacturing in Units
- Stage 5: We dispatch finished product and send invoice in Square Feet basis
- Stage 6 We have to make payment to the supplier on per Kg basis
Can someone help me here who have faced similar kind of issues and find the workable solution.
Hi,
Can you explain about store material in Units instead of KG?, I'm curious about it.
Does each Unit have the same weight?
What is your current way of operating and managing?
Thanks!
We manufacture Aluminium Windows. The process flow is as under:
Once we get an order say of 15 windows having variables types depending upon openable, non-openable, two track, three track etc. and variables sizes.
we prepare Bill of materials
We order Aluminium Extrusions in the form of Aluminium sections. We have to order on the basis of total length of sections required. Let's say we order 50 units of certain section and 20 units certain section
Aluminium section manufacturer sends us material however he prepares invoice on the basis of weight of 70 units. Weight per unit slightly varies.
We receive them in units since we can not measure weight in the factory
We maintain inventory on the basis of units
We handover sections to assembly line on the basis of units.
Once windows are manufactured (All made to order as per client's requirement) we deliver and install them. But our quotation as well as invoice is on per square feet basis.
I hope you understand the brief process flow.
