I'm reaching out on behalf of a company that's currently investigating ERPs for a  specialized type of product manufacturing process. I know that Odoo mentions manufacturing abilities however my investigation is currently going a bit deeper in the technical implementation side.

We have a deep need for costing out a product in real-time. We have a number of web applications currently designed to do this however we'd like our ERP to handle it at scale as a central source of truth.

Our products are individually customized, so each SKU can have certain cut and specification values that are calculated based on generalized rules but then combined into a finished product. The costing of these items happens based on costing per customer and in some cases the business rules or general calculation needs to be completely changed for them.

How would this generally and best be managed in Odoo? Is there an estimation module that can be tapped into with a custom module where the logic for the pricing can be handled? How could we support custom scripting for purchases from a specific customer purchase type?

If this is too complex of a problem for a forum thread, my apologies. Perhaps some broad strokes are good enough to get me in the right direction while I continue my investigation.

Let's assume that the product is picture frames. A picture frame can have a number of custom and sku based pricing. For examle:

- a 20 x 20 picture frame
- substrate of the frame will be canvas (which is a base sku)
- uses a particular stick type (which has a base sku of 100) that has a base price of $23.99/ft
- the base piece will have particular board filling an area of 20x20
- frame bevel will be charged per linear foot and costed by sku
- a mat size based on 3 options (which need to be cut down to the correct size)
- mirror glass piece that is charged by square inch which is a calculated size based on the width of the moulding stick
- printing of artwork will also be a base sku

In essence the goal would be to translate the above construction into an estimator and charge utility. Only parts of these are sku based costs, the rest are calculated dimensions that require area based costing.

A product variant system would not be enough to capture the logic in this pricing model.

I think to give a good answer for you, one would need more exact information about the business, product and pricing.  But Odoo concept with using variants and pricing by variant might be a basic to support this.  You can read about variants here, to look at the basics on the concept in Odoo.
