Hello all,

I am currently struggling to set up a product replenishment for a component in my business. If anyone could explain what routes and settings to use to accomplish this I would greatly appreciate it.


The current issue is a component which we purchase, send directly to a subcontractor, who then polishes the component and delivers the component to our warehouse. I can replenish the raw component directly to the subcontractor and I can create a purchase order for the polished component from the subcontractor independently, however creating a replenishment or purchase order for the polished component does not create a replenishment PO to resupply the subcontractor.


I am not sure how to set this up in order to require a PO for the raw component when a polished component is needed for in-house manufacturing. 

The current routes on the raw component is Dropship Subcontractor with the preferred vendor set


The polished component I am unsure of which routes to use but have ensured that the BOM is type subcontracting with the subcontractor listed as the vendor. I have MTO applied to the product and have tried replenishments with buy, dropship subcontractor, subcontract, and dropship and have not been able to create a PO for the raw product.


If anyone could help me walkthrough this product flow it would be very helpful. 


Thank you

Jaideep,

thanks for the advice it reminded me to go back to the drawing board and find the issue. I ended up creating a second blank database and creating a conceptual scenario to ensure all of my settings were correct. After setting up products I transferred all of the applicable details onto my active database, however the issue persisted.

Not knowing the issue, I eventually duplicated the products within my active database and attempted to reorder my products and things began working as intended. I am still unsure of what caused the lockup on the products I had been using prior, but for now I am archiving my products and starting over. Hopefully I avoid further product lock-ups such as this in the future.

Thanks

The Odoo tutorial might help with validation of the routes and process.

Polished component would need a buy route in addition to the BoM, while the raw material would need resupply subcontractor.
