Hi there!

I'm trying to simulate the process of manufacturing a good with two subcontractors inbetween in odoo 17.
The process is described below:

- We have a finished good, which is manufactured by a MO in our warehouse.

- The BOM contains three types of products (purchased part, 1-step-subcontracting = raw part, 2-step-subcontracting = assembly part).

- 2-step-subcontracting is the most complex. We send products from our warehouse to a subcontractor in the second step, we dropship raw materials to a subcontractor in the first step (those products are the ones we deliver to the subcontractor in the second step).


So far, the planner generates a MO and the POs for the goods needed for the BOM.

The system does not see the need to dropship raw materials before confirming the order of the assembly parts and afterwards the newly generated ones of the raw parts.


Furthermore, the system does not check and sum up the lead time for the whole BOM.

I assume both subcontracting operations take 30 days, purchasing materials takes 14 days --> The MO should have a starting date that is 74 days in the future. The POs should have an expected delivery date that is 30 (or 60) days in the future.


Anyone has experience with this kind of BOMs and has a hint on how to solve the issue?


Thanks a lot in advance, have a good day!

That you do not get a requirement for purchase until the order is confirmed is normal.  There is no need for the components, until you have confirmed the order.

Lead time calculation is a week point in Odoo.  You will have to put fixed lead times on each product.  Your top product must have a lead time that is the total of what is needed for to get everything.  There is a function to calculate lead times form BOM, but I do not think it works fully for the whole supply chain with multi level manufaturing steps.
