I have 3 storable products: A, B and C. They are all set to replenish on 0/0/1, and have the following configuration:

Product C uses Buy route.



There are 2 boms, product A is made of 5 units of C, and product B is made of 2 units of product C and 1 unit of product A, as follows:




Then a sales operation is made and confirmed:



The expected date is 13th Nov 2022, 60 days from today (14th Sep 2022) which is correct acording to our 60 day lead time on the sales of product B. BUT, there is no PO or MO on the queue!!!!

Product B has a manufacturing time of 55 days, and the delivery of product C once accepted is 5 days, so if I don't make the purchase today I won't be able to complete it on time, and yet odoo does not create any PO or MO.

What is even more concerning, if product A takes 5 days to be completed and it needs product C in its bom, another PO should be triggered which would say you are going 5 days late! And yet no PO or MO.

Am I missing something or odoo simply can't handle this type of situation?


Sorry for making such a long post.

Thank you.

everything seems correct, it's hard when we miss just a little thing!

Well, I think that odoo documentation is missleading, as it says that MTO and MTS set to 0/0/1 are the same, and thus odoo has archived MTO, but they are not the same, so that's why I was not understanding how it all worked. Had a hard time figuring that one out...

The sad truth is that Odoo can't handle (right now at least) both methods (MTO and MTS) for the same product, so if you expect to generate the orders upon creating an order you are forced to use MTO, and you can use MTS for the other scenarios. 

Even that said I have left MTO activated for almost all products, because in some scenarios odoo won't trigger any rule even it is needed to. For example:

Product D reordering rules 20/100/5. Current stock: 30. When I trigger a MTO that consumes 45 D, no replenishment rule will be triggered even tho the 30 units are reserved, which may create a problem on the future because delivery times may be quite long.

To solve this problem you need to keep checking Inventory->Operations->Replenishment every day and whenever you see negative quantities, you need to manually make an order and check the Reordering Rules to make sure it wont happen again next time. That is not ideal, but at least there is somewhere to check all products fast...

We had a very similar issue and ended up creating a solution that takes away the consideration of Vendor Lead Time for Reordering Rules. Now, we have Auto Reorder Rules for our purchased products and as soon as they go below their min quantity, the rule is triggered and the products are added to an RFQ. 


The app is only for v15 but if you are using a different version we can update it for you.

If you need the MO and PO to trigger, you can define that in Replenishment. You would need to select the preferred route and trigger as Auto.

In your example, a replenishment for Prod B would be visible on replenishment but none for Prod A or Prod C. You can create one for A &C so the routes trigger automatically as well

If I go to replenishments... Nothing... it's empty, that's why I say something is wrong, and as stated all of them are using reordering rules. I'll update the post with the image.

These are reorder rules for the product, I was asking if the replenishment was triggered for Prod B from the SO and the 'Trigger' and preferred route that is selected for these products

Inventory > Operations > Replenishment

Yes, I went to Inventory->Operations->Repleinishments and there is nothing there... I think I kind of solved the problem.
What I did was enable MTO, and make product B MTO, and then set the dates "costumer lead time" to (example) 30 days, and the manufacturing time to (example) 20 days.
I'm now trying to make it work on multilevel boms, but I don't think that's the way odoo devs intended it to work, since MTO is archived on Odoo14.
