Vendor Products Portal v.12
The tool to motivate vendors to prepare product catalogue in your Odoo
Vendor products catalog in portal
Any portal user may create, update, and archive products related to their company. Any purchase manager can do the same for all vendor-related objects. Any Odoo internal user with an access to products might rely upon vendor data for informational purposes.
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.
As soon as you installed the module, Odoo would automatically create vendor products based on existing products' supplier infos.

How vendor stocks work
- Each stock level is provided per definite vendor location. Vendors might easily create, edit, and archive own warehouses
- Each vendor might have an unlimited number of locations. Locations are distinguished by name, address, and average delivery time
- Stock levels are manageed in vendor units of measure, but purchase managers should 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
- Vendor stocks and locations might be switched off for portal users on the configuration page
- Stock levels are not used in our moves, but they are provided for general information. Stock levels are updated either manually or through the import process. It might be done by both portal and purchase users
