Reordering Rules Per Categories v.11
The tool to prepare re-ordering rules per product categories
Stocks by product category not per each individual item
In such a way you may set up inventory levels for thousand types of screws and hundreds kinds of nails within a minute.
How reordering rules per categories work
Categories' rules are not themselves involved in the Odoo procurement process, but they serve as a configuration object to prepare standard rules in a batch. In such a way warehouse work flows are not interrupted by extra checks.
All you need is to create a new rule for this product category, and each of its storable items would have a stock rule with the same minimum and maximum quantities, a quantity multiple factor, a warehouse and a location, a procurement group and a company. The process is the same as when you prepare standard re-ordering levels, but it is hundreds times faster from a user perspective.
Take into that rules per categories do not consider hierarchy of categories. Rules should be set up for each category to make sure that there are no conflicts between various guidelines. For example, if a chair belongs to 'All / Office Furniture' its minimum stock rule is taken from this category rule, but it is not taken from rules for the 'All' category.

Scenarios when minimum stock rules are updated
- A user creates a new product or add a new attribute. As soon as a new storable variant is generated, the tool would consider its category rules. If any of those exist, Odoo would prepare a new reordering level for this variant.
- A user updates product category of a variant. In such a case Odoo would deactivate rules linked to a previous category, and prepare new rules based on an updated one. It is really super fast to change minimum stock levels for all variants of this template by mere changing its category!
- A user deactivates manual minimum stock rule. Manual rules have higher priority than categories' rules. Since manual rule does not exist any more, there is a need to switch to an auto rule. Odoo would do that without any user interaction.
- A user prepares a new category rule for this location. Then, Odoo would update all variants within this category beside ones which have manual rules. Take into account there might be only one rule per a combination of a product category and a stock location.
- You decide to cancel all rules for this product category. No problem! Just delete a related rule, and all items' rules would be also deactivated.

Different scenarios to update product re-ordering rules fast and accurate
Manual re-ordering rules are still possible
To that end just go an item rule and unlink it from a category rule. Manual rule is prime to automatic ones, so the app would not any more update its settings.
It also relates to existing rules: no one of those would be changed after you installed the app. If you want to fully update manual rules, you should firstly delete or archive those.
