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.
