Hello.


I have a manufacturer product "product" which consist of:


- 2 subproduct1 (minimum quantity from vendor 5)


- 3 subproduct2 (minimum quantity from vendor 10)


I am created BOM structure and manufacturing order. In stock I don't have 0 product, subproduct1, subproduct2.


System automatic generated purchase order for vendor, but in this purchase order the unit price are 0. Because minimum quantity for buying in vendor are 5 (subproduct1) and 10 (for subproduct2).


My question is:


How I can generate automatic purchase order with minimum quantity of product from vendor? 


Need 5 for subproduct1, and 10 for subproduct2.


Thank you very much.

When defining the vendor(s) on the product form, you have a field "Minimal Quantity" that you should set.

Hello Fabien, I have a question I´m working in V14 and when you manually open a PO that "Minimal Quantity" field is triggered and works fine. However when working with MTO the purchase draft generated is based on the MTO need, so it does not take that into consideration(minimal quantity). There is something that I´m missing or some suggestion for this case?

Thank you

Yes, it's how MTO is supposed to work.

Be sure you really need MTO; I have seen a lot of abuse of MTO for companies who should actually use
automated replenishment rules with min=0, max=0 instead. Often, companies use MTO to automate the purchase
(which can be done by this replenishment rule too), but they don't want the constraints of MTO: ability to reassign
products to another order easily, manage priorities, etc.

I have the same issue.

Inventory on a product is buy

Purchase for the product has multiple lines with the same vendor with different prices and minimal quantities (0, 51, 101 ,251 , ... )

reordering rules for product has min 0 max 0

confirm a sales order for 120 pieces, and run the sheduler, a PO gets created, for 120 pieces but with the price for the minimum quantity 0

while i would expect the shedular to take the cheapest price, thus the price for minimum quantity 101

Fabien, using MTO for the correct porpouse it is needed and consider.

Let's say for example that FINAL Product.A is made by Product 1 and Service 2.

Service 2 is provided by external Vendor.

Product 1 is provided by external Vendor also.

In this case Final Product would be Custom Made T-Shirts for Odoo (as an example)

Service 1 would be T-shirt Printing (Vendor requires minimal 100units of service to accept the Order)

Product 1 would be the T-Shirt it self.

When we sell The Custom T-Shirt, so the final product. The Quotation sent to the costumer should consider the minimal order for Service.1 Vendor.

Let's say vendor price for service 1 is US$2.00, and Product.1 (Simple T-Shirte) price is Product.1 Vendor doesnt have minimal order, but service.1 vendor has Minimal order 100 Units printed. If costumer wants 50 Custom Tshirts, eventought is nor very competitive price, we need to send a quoatation consider that

50 x US$2.00 = US$100

100(minimal) x US$2.00 = 200

So Costumer quotation for 50 CUSTOM tshirts would be US$300.00.

This is not consider and is basically functions that MRP should consider right?

Is there some way to make this happen? Also que RFQ for service1 should set the minimal quantity not the 50 units requested by the final Client.

In this simple case is possible to see 3 or 4 flows in the MRP architecture. Is this correctable? can we custom fix this?

Marcos, as Fabien has stated that (what you descrive) is not how MTO should work, so you should use the replenishment method instead with min0 max0 quantities.

Fabien, have you tried ordering the supplier lines? Odoo works this way: It checks if the first one is valid for the current purchase order, and if it is valid it stops checking. So the correct order would be to put the ones with higher quanities and bigger discounts on top, and the one with higher prices and lower quantities at the bottom. As simple as that.

Hi Vasyl,

You can try setting up a minimum order point with Min Qty = 0 (or as per your will) and Maximum QTY equal to the minimum accepted by your supplier eg 100 (in case you can procure this product from many suppliers, you can decided if you want to set this amount to the small amount required by your preferred supplier).

See how to set up order points https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/11.0/inventory/management/adjustment/min_stock_rule_vs_mto.html
