We're using inventory app to handle product reception and delivery from vendors to customers. 

Recently we had a situation in which one of the products we received from the vendor (Which I'll call ProductA from now on) has several components (PartA, PartB and PartC), and as usual, we assigned ProductA's Serial Number when receiving it.

But, there's an issue- our customer needs to see PartA, PartB and PartC's Serial Numbers in the Delivery Order, not ProductA's. So, how can I turn ProductA into PartA, PartB and PartC in the system, and keep their same value in stock? I mean, if ProductA's value is 300, I need PartA, PartB and PartC value to be 100 each one.

You could define Product A as a KIT (BOM) with PartA, PartB and PartC as its components. While receiving Product A would be split by components in the ratio you define in the kit BOM and you will be able to provide serial numbers to individual parts.

On the delivery order/ slip as well, you will be able to recreate the Kit with individual serial numbers for parts.

Based on your volumes, frequency and current practices related to similar products in the organization, the below options may also be viable.

Option 1:

Buy, Sell, Receive & Delivery individual parts - define and manage parts and not the product

Option 2:

Buy & Sell product, while Receiving & Delivering product & parts - create parts as products. Create the SO & PO for Product A, while receiving manually add parts & track serial numbers on them. Delivery orders generated from SO would have product line, manually include parts as additional with serial numbers

This would enable inventory tracking of parts, while you would be managing sales and invoicing for product A

Options 3:

Buy, Sell, Receive & Delivery product - while tracking only the product, you can include the part serial numbers in SO and Delivery Slip 'description' column. You could update the description at the time of sale or delivery.

Challenge would be to track the latest part serial numbers, maybe you could use the 'log note' on the product chatter to track while receiving the product.

I think it could work. But as far as I know, that needs the Manufacturing App, and right now we're not paying for it in Odoo Online.

That could work perfectly. Thanks!

If i could, I'd set it as an answer, but I don't have enough karma.

Thanks for validating.

Have updated the answer with the comments.
