When you use subcontracting feature in Odoo the standard route for the component it can be "Resupply Subcontractor on Order" what means you have the component in your stock and you will re-supply your subcontractor via delivery order (transfer). 

However, an alternative can be to generate a PO for the component in case you do not have enough stock via Drop Ship what means the supplier of the component will send the component directly to your subcontractor.

What is the current behavior that I observe?
When you have both routes activated in the product form only Drop Shipping is working what means that independently of the stock level, a DS will be created for that. You need to unselect "Dropship: supplier to subcontractor" to be able to resupply directly the subcontractor from your warehouse.

Expected behavior should be:


A- IF there is enough stock of the component to build that finished good, route "Resupply Subcontractor on Order" should take place--> a Delivery order should be generated to deliver from the company warehouse to the subcontracting location

B- IF there is NOT enough stock of the component to build the quantity of finished good for the SO, route "Dropship: supplier to subcontractor" should take place -> a new PO should be generated to buy the component to the vendor component and deliver directly to the subcontractor.

Unfortunately, both routes "Resupply subcontractor on order" and "Dropship vendor to subcontractor" cannot work together.

I would take into account how many times you will have to resupply your subcontractor or create a DS for a specific component, and based on that the workarounds are:

A- You just deactivate DS route for the component when you are going to resupply the subcontractor

B- You cancel the RFQ for your vendor component and create manually a transfer order to your subcontractor location

Good Point - I am waiting for the video :-)

In the meantime your colleague's video gives a good insight on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsAKXvtX_Fw

Struggling with the same issue over here...

The route: "Dropship: supplier to subcontractor" you indicating is a default route?

I do not see this route at all in our database, and not sure how to set the correct action / operational type for such a route.

"Dropship: supplier to subcontractor" is not a default one, you have "Dropship" one which is a default one, try to look for it in archived if you do not find it. Then I suggest you to duplicate it to get the "Dropship: supplier to subcontractor" and change destination locatio to "subcontractor". Then the route should work.

Thank you Ivan for your prompt reply, much appreciated!

It worked out with the route, great. There is a purchase order being triggered at the suppliers when creating a purchase order for the product at the subcontractor.

The only thing is that the purchase order at the supplier is not indicating the address of the subcontractor as the delivery address... Do you know how to set this right? As I do not want any confusion at my supplier if he needs to ship it to me or to the subcontractor...

Tank you in advance :)

That issue with the address of the subcontractor is really an issue... it could be a bug, but I still did not get more information about, but I had the same issue when testing. I will publish here if there is a solution or comment for this.

Hmm, that's bad... as it completely takes away the value of the "automated action"...

Thank you, I will keep an eye on this topic, will let u know if I find the answer somewhere else.

Ivan, I'm running into a similar issue. Have you tried to link the Contact to the location in inventory? You can do this by going directly to the contact, in the Sale and Buy tab scroll to the bottom and you should see an Inventory section with three locations: customer, vendor and subcontractor (my system is in spanish so the translations may be a bit incorrect). Replace the default location for subcontractor witht the Inventory location of that same subcontractor. Maybe that will solve the issue.
