How can u purchase correct quantity of a subcontracting product, if u don't have enough bom components to delivery

Question

So in the video of subcontracting , is explained that the subcontracted manufacturing, we have first to purchase and CONFIRM the quantity from the subcontractor!!But just after this is creating the delivery of the components!
SO if for subcontracted product i order and CONFIRM 100 pcs, but the subcomponents to send i have JUST 50 in stock to delivery? How is that logic working?

Hi Nicu,
At the time of planning an MRP system should calculate, for a certain future horizon, how much stock is required for each product in all BOM's, and when it is needed. Then you would know well in advance how much components you would need to secure in your stock by the time you send a PO to the subcontractor. This is obviously not explained in the video, but the MRP planner tool (what odoo calls the MPS) should provide you this capability. We don't use Odoo's MPS but the module mrp_multi
