Vendor Product Management v.12
The tool to administrate vendor data about products, prices and available stocks
Vendor products catalog
Any vendor product might be linked to your own product. In such a way a purchase manager goal becomes to match 'their' products with 'ours'. Each of our product variants might have a few related vendor products.
Any purchase manager may create, update, and archive vendor-related objects. Any Odoo user with an access to products might rely upon vendor data for informational purposes.
As soon as you installed the module, Odoo would automatically create vendor products based on existing products' supplier infos.

Vendor stocks control
You may access info of vendor products' stocks right from product variant, product template, and supplier form views. You should just click a related button to get an overview.
How vendor stocks work
- Each stock level is provided per definite vendor location (warehouse)
- Assign an unlimited number of vendor locations per each supplier. Locations are distinguished by name, address, and average delivery time
- Keep stock levels in vendor units of measure, but make sure it has the same category as our linked product. The idea is to support conversion in order internal users work with habitual figures. For example, dozens and units are fine, while dozens and hours might lead to mistakes
- Stock levels are not used in our moves, but they are provided for general information. Stock levels are updated either manually by purchase managers or through the import process
