MTS and MTO proper configuration with Odoo V12 community

Question

I produce fresh fruit drinks from a paste of fruit. I have* a BOM and a routing for each of these product*. The fruit paste is my semi-finished product for the Fresh Fruit drink.  I set the route of the Fruit paste as Make To Stock MTS. The fresh fruit drink iroute s a Make To Order.
I have enough fruit paste in stock. When a client order is confirmed, it generate both a MO for the fresh fruit drink, but also a MO for the paste.
I do not want the MO for the paste so long as I have it in stock. H

Why use Make To Order process at all. It easily make problems in your Logistic flow. These problems are so common that I highly recommend to avoid MTO if possible.
Set the finish product also to MTS, and a reordering rule where all qty is only 0.
The result is that when you get an order, a delivery is created and manufacturing order for the same qty is created.
Disadvantage: If you have several sales orders / deliveries for the same product open and not covered by existing manufacturing orders,

Hi Vermont:
Try the following settings for the routes:
Paste: Select only *Manufacture*
Drink: Select both *Manufacture* and *Make to Order*​
These settings will automatically trigger an MO for Drink but not for Paste.
When you book an order for the Drink, it will trigger off a *Delivery Order* and a *MO* for the Drink. If there is sufficient stock of the Paste, you will be able to complete the MO for the Drink.
You will need to set up a *Reordering Rule* on Paste to automate the MO for the Past
