In odoo 17 (and later I guess) there is this new field discount in purchase module, but I think it creates more problems than solves them (the way it is implemented).

In the product view, in the purchase notebook tab, the final price is not shown, so I have to calculate it every time to see which provider has the best price. See the example below where "Supplier A" has a better price than "Supplier B", but you can't see that without calculating them:

The same is true at the PO form view, where even tho I can see the total for each line, the unit price after the discount is not shown (that one I can understand why some people might need it and some people might not need it). See the example below:


And finally when I want to check the price history in the smart button in the same view as before (the arrow next to Unit Price on the last image), the price is shown without the discount! How am I supposed to compare 2 different POs if they all have the same price? See the example below, where P00001 has a quantity of 50, a price of 100 and a discount of 65, meanwhile P00002 has a quantity of 500, a price of 100 and a discount of 75:


After seeing this I was concerned that the cost calculation might also be half implemented, but all the tests I've done show that the cost is well calculated.

To solve this I'm doing plenty of little customizations and thinking to myself, is everybody doing this? Am I missing some feature?

Hi Apiuser,

I am not sure if it's half implemented (I mean who decide the requirements as full or half?)

  1. On vendor pricelist, Odoo doesn't calculate the unit price after discount.
  2. On purchase order, Odoo also doesn't calculate the unit price after discount.
  3. This mean that it's actually aligned, Odoo only calculate the price as subtotal and total when we do PO.

Your question to understand which supplier provided more cost-efficient price should be when you start RFQ for multiple vendors or Purchase Analysis where you compare the PO Average cost from each vendors. Not from this vendor pricelist I guess.

That's all what I can share on my opinions.

Hope this helps.

Hi Andry, thanks for your time.
I understand what you mean in 1 and 2, and at some point I can agree after your explanation even tho we do not work like that, and I hardly believe everyone works like that but whatever, this is what odoo has in mind. But about the price history smartbuton, do you know why is it that way? Why can't I see the discounts there if they happened in the PO?
