Hello,
We have a specific process flow. The company is selling products with variants, however during the time of entering the sales order it unknown, which variant need to be delivered (the sales order is placed in advance as a kind of sales contract with partial down payment).
The deliveries are not created immediately but at later stage (on request). When the request arrived the delivery is created, the products are produced and send to the customer.
This process required the SO to be entered for the product template and during the delivery creation to specify the specific variant to be delivered.
Is it possible this process to be implemented in Odoo Enterprice standard or with some reasonable customisation?

Which version of Odoo Enterprise are you using or planning to use (e.g. 17, 18)?
Regarding invoicing: does the customer pay a deposit on the sales order (on the generic template) and then the balance on delivery of the specific variant? Or is there a different invoicing flow?
Volume and complexity: are we talking about a few orders with many partial deliveries, or many orders? And are the variants simple (e.g. color/size) or complex (with an impact on price/production)?
Hello Alessio,
That's right, the customer deposit on the generic template (the reason for the deposit is to book capacity and ensure raw materials availability at the supplier). The balance is invoiced on the delivery of the specific variant.
We speak about 50 SO's per day, some of them are very simple, but around 10% (in number) are complex with 5 to 20 partial deliveries.
It is used Odoo 18 Enterprice. In the general case the variants do not require additional cost invoicing.

The initial Delivery created at the time of creating SO can be modified. Delete the generic product and add the line for the specific variant directly on the delivery.
On validation, the SO would now be updated with the variant line. Since delivery is of variant the invoicing would be for variant product and the generic one.
The SO would need to updated with the unit price as well.
