Hi All, 


we are currently struggling getting our material flow implemented for a semi-finished good. The Odoo documentation together with Odoo AI and ChatGPT is just not helping due to inconsistent answers. 

Find the link to the flowchart in the first comment. 

We are responsible for managing the raw material at Vendor A which supplies Vendor B. We are responsible for the POs towards both vendors and must understand the stock level of the raw material (RM) at Vendor A and the post-processed material (DY1) at Vendor B.

Vendor B does not talk to Vendor A. 

When BOM Item 1 (semi-finished good) is low at WH/Stock the PO shall be created towards Vendor B. 
POs towards Vendor A shall be automatically created if stock level at Vendor A low after receiving Item 1 at WH/STOCK.


PO to Vendor A shall consider RM stock when placing PO for DY1. 

However POs to all Vendors shall be created when re-order rule is triggered.


Can anybody help to understand the fundamental mechanism of Odoo to achieve:

  1. the workflow can be achieved to get stock level deductions of materials used to produce Semi-finished good. 
  2. stock allocated at right place
  3. Vendor A delivers to Vendor B by default

Thanks in advance.

Here is a representation of the flow: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A-2lBdRSJ_j0uN0mOMZ862F5DAfJyTp3?usp=sharing

The concept is to create stock/ replenishment locations for Vendor A and vendor B and create replenishment rules at these locations for specific products.


1. Create locations Vendor A and Vendor B type Internal with replenishment enabled, maybe as child locations of Subcontracting (Inventory > Configuration > Locations)


2. Associate specific location to each vendor. Update the vendor's subcontractor location (Contacts > Sales & Purchase Tab > Inventory section - to view this you would need to enable developer mode)


3. Create product specific replenishment rule at these locations with route and trigger set to auto (Inventory > Operations > Replenishment)


e.g. -


a. Reorder RM at Vendor A location route would be 'dropship' with deliver to location as Vendor A subcontract location (Dropship from vendor to vendor A)


b. Reorder Dried Yam 1 at vendor b location route would be 'buy'


4. Ensure the routes configured to cover locations,


eg.

Resupply Subcontractor on order - Default is pull from WH/Stock to Subcontracting

ADD Pull from Vendor A stock location to vendor B stock location

Also, have the supply method take from stock; if unavailable trigger another route


Similarly Dropship; Resupply Subcontractor on order will have to be updated


5. Ensure the applicable routes are selected on the product or product category

eg.

DY1 would have Resupply subcontractor (Vendor A to vendor b location) and resupply subcontractor on order (to product DY 1 from RM)

RM - dropship (buy from vendor and deliver to subcontractor vendor A)


Item 1 - resupply subcontractor on order (to product Item 1 from DY1)


The above is illustration of the concept and not a specific solution to your post. Would suggest configuring and testing in a test instance before implementing.


The below posts have additional details to the concept and configuration again not the precise solution to your post.

Hi,


Please refer to the link:

1. https://www.odoo.com/documentation/19.0/applications/inventory_and_mrp/manufacturing/subcontracting.html

Odoo’s official documentation on subcontracting workflows, configuration, BoM types, and how the routes work.

2. https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/applications/inventory_and_mrp/manufacturing/management/subcontracting.html

Explains how raw materials are shipped to subcontractors, how Odoo consumes components, and how the receipt is processed.

3. https://www.odoo.com/documentation/19.0/applications/inventory_and_mrp/manufacturing/subcontracting/subcontracting_basic.html

This shows the simpler subcontracting flows and how they differ from more advanced ones.


Hope it helps
