Example Product: Colorful Metal Coin
Scenario: We completely outsource this product. from metal sourcing to the coloring and branding.
I am trying to manage this business process inside odoo but I am not able to understand how to do this one. Pls if anyone can help that would be great.
Below I have explained the the steps we take after we receive an order from our customers.
Setp 1: Sales order created (100pcs Gold color metal coins with laser marking)
Step 2: We will source metal coins from a vendor in silver color. (payment made for 100pcs raw coins)
Step 3: We will send these coins for mirror finishing to another vendor (payment made for 100pcs mirro finishing service)
Step 4: Then we will send coins to the coloring company which is again our vendor providing coloring services. (payment made for 100pcs gold coloring service)
Step 5: We will send coins for laser engraving of the customer logo on coins (payment made for 100pcs laser engraving)
Step 6: At the last step, we will bring items inside our company for packing and shipping. (payment made for 100pcs Shipping).
Question 1:
What should be product settings and types in odoo for:
1- Colorful Metal Coins
2- Metal Finishing Services
3- Coloring Services
4- Laser Engraving
Question 2:
How do create a purchase orders for all these vendors automatically once I create a purchase order
Question 3:
How do follow colorfull metal coins order stages? e.g. Metal Finishing stage, Coloring stage, Laser Engraving stage. I mean if I want to see at which stage my order is right now.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I understand resupply concept and creating products but Could you please explain how this setup will create purchase orders automatically..
We have two type of products
Physical and Services
1- Physical Products
a) Silver Metal Coin
b) Gold color metal coin
2- Services
a) Coloring Service
b) Metal Finishing Service
c) Engraving Service
Now again my end goal is to create purchase orders automatically for physical products and also for services. is it possible ?
Thanks for your answer.
Actually, we are paying each vendor separately as per the service they provide.
In our case, we are availing services of 3 different vendors.
For example, we have paid money for
Vendor#1 Metal finishing,
Vendor#2 coloring, and
Vendor#3 laser engraving services.
so we want to keep a record of these payments in odoo We can't combine the single cost of all these different entities.
PO for each vendor is different, hence payments wouldn’t be combined either.
Create a multi level BoM and assign the appropriate routes for each product.(component)
Highly recommend the tutorial as it is quite detailed, you need to follow the same concept on a multi level BoM
