Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
I have several items that have multiple vendors selling the same item for different prices (because they have different mfr) and by default Odoo should choose the first in the list, however in my case it's only choosing the cheapest and the only way to change the supplier product code is by setting start and end dates which takes a lot of time and is not feasible for us because we order differently very often. How can I make it choose always the first in the list?
thanks
Hi,
When you add multiple vendors to the purchase tab in Odoo, the default workflow will select the vendor with the lowest price for one quantity. If multiple vendors have the same price, the first vendor in the list will be selected.
To manage vendor selection more effectively, you can use Purchase Agreements. Purchase Agreements allow you to define preferred vendors and manage procurement processes more consistently.
For more details on how to use Purchase Agreements in Odoo, you can refer to the blog: https://www.cybrosys.com/blog/an-overview-of-purchase-agreements-in-odoo-17-purchase
I would like to pick from the list when the PO is initiated. We have been putting in additional lines on the purchase tab for the same vendor but having a different manufacturer. This may not make sense but in the electronic components world, the same component might be made by a dozen different manufacturers and any one of them is suitable. Sometimes a component isn't available so we move down the list to the next alternate, regardless of price. The next order might be the opposite so we want to preserve ordering data for each alternate. This idea doesn't work at all in Odoo because it mandates that you go with the lowest price. This is a fail, in my opinion. For our purposes, there's no point in having multiple choices if you're not allowed to choose them.
