Reordering Rules Per Categories v.13
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 comfortable 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Reordering Rules Per Categories Odoo v.13
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- every module bought for the version 12.0 and prior gives you an access to the all versions up to 12.0.
- starting from the version 13.0, every version of the module should be purchased separately.
- disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right for all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Take into account that faOtools team does not control those policies. By all questions please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Login to your account and click ‘Create a new repo’ or use the existing one. Please, make sure, that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click ‘Continue’. The action will trigger the installation process.
These steps would install the app for your project production branch. If you wanted to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Make sure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add by default some crucial items there (e.g. /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.
Unzip source code of purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons directory
Re-start the Odoo server
Turn on the developer mode (technical settings)
Update the apps' list (the apps' menu)
Find the app and push the button 'Install'
Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.
No, we distribute the tools only through the official Odoo apps store
Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.
No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.
Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
Red / orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full lists of deployed modules (including core and third party ones).
Odoo demonstration databases (live previews)
For this app we might provide a free personalized demo database.
No phone number or credit card are required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.
By your request we will prepare an individual live preview database, where you would be able to apply any tests and to check assumptions during 14 days.
Bug reporting
In case you have faced any bugs or inconsistent behavior, do not hesitate to contact us. We guarantee to provide fixes during 60 days after a purchase, while even after this period we are strongly interested to improve our tools.
No phone number or credit card are required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.
Please include in your request as many details as possible: screen shots, Odoo server logs, full description of how to re-produce your problem, and so on. Usually it takes a few business days to prepare a working plan by an issue (if a bug is confirmed) or provide you with guidelines what should be done (otherwise).
Public features request and module ideas (free development)
We are strongly motivated to improve our tools and would be grateful for any sort of feedback. In case your requirements are of public use and might be efficiently implemented, the team would include those into our to-do list.
Such to-do list is processed on a regular basis and does not assume extra fees. Altough we cannot promise deadlines and final design, it might be a good way to get desired features without investments and risks.
No phone number or credit card are required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.
New features and extra Odoo services (individual development)
Each of our apps might be customized and extended to suit your specific requirements.
Our customization team fulfills not only such jobs but it also provides a full range of Odoo services. From simple modifications and consultations to complex enterprise projects. The team has completed over 100 implementations since 2012, and might help with any technical or business needs.
