Hello all,
I am working with a business that specializes in custom clothing, particularly workwear. By "custom," I mean incorporating branding and other personalized elements.
Current Process: Currently, when I provide a quote, about one-third of the products proceed to production without further modification. However, we often need to adjust details like logo sizes or T-shirt colors (totaly understandable). Our current process involves manually determining materials, accounting for manufacturing costs, and adding a safeguard percentage. This is all done using Excel, as we haven't found software that meets our needs.
Challenges: Since these products are unique and have never been produced before, our cost estimates are rough, aimed at ensuring a good profit margin. The challenge is how to calculate all these costs in Odoo without creating a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) and production-ready product details until an order is confirmed. Essentially, I want to stay on the quote page and avoid dealing with BOMs and other specifics that might change later. (Could be totaly scrapped to)
Desired Solution: A colleague shared an image that seems to represent what we're looking for. The "SPECSPEC" line is what the customer will see, and the other columns summarize details for the four underlying products only visible internaly.
Objective: The goal is to significantly reduce the time spent creating quotes.
I hope this explanation is clear. Your feedback and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hey I understand if this blob of text is quite daunting. But I really need help on this.
So the solution is still make quotes on Excel and only put order confirmations when all the products are created onto Odoo?
