We recently purchased 4 items of raw materials, which were then sent to another vendor for printing and cutting in order to deliver 61 items to our customer. All these 4 items together became 61 items with the printing and cutting cost. That means any particular raw material is not converted to any particular finished good items. All 4 raw materials together becoming the 61 finished good items. How to resolve this matter in Odoo?

It is usual to have multiple raw materials consumed via multiple operations to get a finished product.

Not sure what you are attempting to resolve. Product costing or raw materials consumption etc

Hi!

To handle your scenario in Odoo, you can use the Subcontracting and Bill of Materials (BOM) features:

1. Create a BOM:

- Go to Manufacturing > Bills of Materials.

- Set the finished product as the 61 items you are delivering.

- Add the 4 raw materials as components of the BOM.

- Include a service product (e.g., "Printing and Cutting") to account for subcontracting costs.

2. Enable Subcontracting:

- Activate the subcontracting feature in Inventory > Configuration > Settings.

- Create a vendor bill for the subcontracting service.

3. Use Manufacturing Orders:

- Generate a manufacturing order to track the consumption of raw materials and the production of finished goods.

In Odoo, handling the scenario you described where multiple raw materials are combined to create finished goods with printing and cutting costs can be managed using the manufacturing module. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to handle this process in Odoo:

1. Create Raw Materials:

  1. Go to the "Inventory" app.
  2. Create separate product records for each raw material you purchased.

2. Create a Bill of Materials (BoM):

  1. Go to the "Manufacturing" app.
  2. Create a new Bill of Materials for your finished goods.
  3. Add all the raw materials to the BoM with their quantities.
  4. Include any additional costs for printing and cutting as operations in the BoM.

3. Purchase and Receive Raw Materials:

  1. Go to the "Purchase" app.
  2. Create purchase orders for the raw materials.
  3. Receive the raw materials into your stock.

4. Manufacturing Order:

  1. Create a manufacturing order in the "Manufacturing" app using the Bill of Materials you created.
  2. Confirm and process the manufacturing order. This will consume the raw materials and produce the finished goods.

5. Delivery:

  1. Once the manufacturing order is complete, go to the "Inventory" app.
  2. Deliver the finished goods to your customer.

6. Cost Allocation:

  1. In Odoo, the cost of raw materials and additional costs are allocated to the finished goods based on the configured BoM.
  2. Check the cost analysis reports to see how costs are distributed across the finished goods.
