Here is a scenario:

1 may 2014:    I bought 10 iPads from supplier Harry with Purchase Order Number: PO/001

1 may 2015:    I bought 20 iPads from supplier Jacky with Purchase Order Number: PO/002

So I have 30 iPads in stock.

20 may 2015: I sell 15 iPads to customer Tom with Sales Order Number: SO/001

First question: Which iPads are taken from stock?

a) Can I select 10 iPads from PO/001 and 5 iPads from PO/002?

b) Does Odoo pick randomly like 15 iPads from PO/002 instead of using the iPads of PO/001?

20 may 2016: Customer Tom is not happy, one of his iPads is broken. The guaranteed warranty period is 2 years so he expects a free fix or replacement of the product.

Second question: Can the iPad be identified from which supplier or purchase order he was bought?

In case the iPad was bought from supplier Harry, the vendor warranty period of 2 years is already expired.

Hey,


In order to know which supplier the Ipad came from you would have to create a LOT for each shipment you received, and your Ipad could have just one unique identifier as a product being the Reference Number. 


Lots are great in tacking your shipments and expiry dates and shipment from different supplier. 


Here's a more in-depth explanation:

I hope this helps you, 

Happy coding and meticulous testing

question a: if FIFO was setup for both products then the picking will be done for 10 from PO/001 and 5 from PO/002.

and if LIFO was in place, 15 from PO/002.

see \https://www.odoo.com/documentation/functional/valuation.html

question b: for a proper identification of product with warranty, I think that you should use the serial identification number for products
