Hi All,
I want to know if Odoo can generate a purchase order for a product sold far in the future, on the day the lead time of that product is set to.

e.g. let’s say I run a cake making business, with an average sale of one cake per week, all my ingredients have an expiry date, so I don’t want ingredients on the shelf spoiling and going bad before they need to be used.

Today is mid-December, a customer of mine has just placed an order for 25 cakes for their event to be delivered at the end of July (6 months away). 
All the ingredients have a 5 working day lead time and the 25 cakes can be made in one day.

Can Odoo generate the RFQ/PO based on the individual ingredients lead time at the start of July, or does it only generate the RFQ/PO when the order was placed?

Thanks,
Evan.
Note: I have played around with Odoo13 in a Docker to test, and at the moment no matter how I configure lead times and manufacturing times the RFQ/PO for my suppliers is generated as soon as the Sales Order is confirmed.

Hi Pinakin, 
thanks for your response ( i cant comment on your message due to low karma)

what you have suggested is exactly what i don't want to happen, i don't want the goods to be purchased and expire if they're not going to be consumed for 4 months.
o'well will have to make do

Cheers

In Odoo RFQ generated based on minimum stock rule. If your component configured like Buy+Reorder rule it will generate related RFQ if stock level goes below.

You can configure the system like if component expired then Automatic transfer the goods to the "Scrap" location. So when the stock level below the minimum rules it will generate related RFQ(you can add the supplier lead time).
