I am trying to do the following in Odoo 17:
1. Customer places order to Company A, Company A places dropship order to Company B, Company B places purchase order to Vendor
2. Vendor delivers to Company B, Company B dropships to Customer
If I do a standard single company then everything works fine. I validate the dropship in Companies A and B and all is well. However, I need to have Company B receive the material. When the delivery address is set to Company B, the delivery order to the customer is not created.
I can't for the life of me figure out where I'm going wrong. Since I don't want to issue a dropship PO to the vendor, the only thing I can do now is not use dropship and receive/deliver in both companies.
Does anyone have any idea where I may be going wrong?
Could you also describe the routes that are being utilized?
I would think for Company A - dropship route
For company B it should be a normal receipt and delivery or cross-dock.
Is the SO in company B created manually or through intercompany?
Is the SO created through a SO manually)?
am synchronizing sales/purchase orders without automatic validation. (I also have copy lot numbers enabled which is causing different issues which I will wok on next).
Company A uses a dropship route. Company B uses a buy route. When I confirm the Company B sales order (which is automatically generated with the correct information) a purchase RFQ is created which for some reason also has a dropship route. I change to my normal Company B receiving location, confirm the PO and all looks fine on the purchasing side but I don't get the delivery order for the sales side.
It does seem that it is ignoring my buy route on Company B.
The Inter-company setting - Synchronize sales and purchase orders is enabled.
If you were to go ahead with the dropship for company B, would you know if the dropship is vendor to Company A or vendor to customer? (Delivery address on company B PO )
For tracking delivery, Company A has a Dropship operation created. If you were to go ahead with dropship for company B as well is there also a dropship operation created for Company B?
In your process flow, when the receipt location is changed to company B warehouse and receipt validated would you know the location of the product? There seems to be a break in the flow without an out operation.
Will create this user case test
If I continue with the dropship it is vendor to customer. Both company A and B have dropship operations created.
When I run as a receipt by Company B, everything looks fine when the receipt is validated and I can see the product in the warehouse I just don't have a delivery order.
I'm going to set up a demo database with bare minimum apps to try this workflow. I want to see if there is something else affecting this.
I got it to function but it isn't quite right.
I assigned Company A to the dropship route. I tried to create a new dropship rule for Company B (new and duplicate) but the operations types selection does not include dropship so I just left Company B with no dropship route. For now this is fine as company B is more or less a dropshipping company.
Workflow is now:
1. Company A confirms sales order and dropship purchase order is created
2. Dropship purchase order is confirmed (vendor is Company B, dropship to Customer)
3. Sales order in Company B is confirmed and vendor purchase order is created
4. Vendor purchase order is created
5. Company B validates receipt
6. Company B validates delivery
7. Dropship order is validated in Company A
The only issue with this is that for some reason in the company B sales and purchase orders I only have the button for deliveries (in purchase order ther is no button to go to sales order and vice versa).
Looks like you are all set with your flow.
On the purchase order there is a field source document in the other information tab, this indicates the process that triggered the creation. Only if the PO is created by SO they are lined. There are 2 ways to achieve, in company B either enable MTO route or change the supply method in delivery order rule to Take from stock if unavailable trigger another route.
I appreciate the help.
I'll have to dig into this a little more. In company A, the source document on the PO links back to the sales order properly. In company B, I get a stock order point O/P number and then the sales order. I'll experiment with the routes a little more to see if I can figure it out. Otherwise at least it works right now but it would be great to have the linked buttons.
OK ... Here is the final answer with much appreciated assistance from Jaideep and Ricardo:
1. Company A: I set the dropship route to Company A (enabled buy and dropship for the product)
2. Company B: I set the Replenish on Order (MTO) to Company B (enabled Replenish on Order and buy for the product)
I need to learn much more about how routes work but the workflow is now perfect. I get the workflow I referenced before with the proper source document links and smart buttons.
