Vendor Product Management v.14
The tool to administrate vendor data about products, prices and available stocks
This is an Odoo tool to efficiently access, update, and import information about vendors' products, prices, and stock levels.
Vendor products catalog
The tool introduces a new stand-alone classifier of vendor products. Each supplier should have an own catalog with unique product names and codes. As installed the app automatically creates vendor products based on existing Odoo products' supplier prices
Odoo sales based on supplies
Any vendor product might be linked to any Odoo 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 linked vendor products
Supplier prices management
Purchase managers keep and update prices of supplied products. Those prices are considered as standard Odoo 'supplier info' which correspondingly are used in purchase orders
Vendor stocks control
Manage vendor products' stock levels to make better decision while selling those. Access info of vendor products' stocks right from product variant, product template, and supplier form views
Vendor data import
The tool let import vendor products, prices, and stock levels as Excel tables of predefined formats. In such a way, it is possible to quickly process commercial offers sent by vendors
Secured access and shared use
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.
Vendor inventories control
-
Each vendor 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 a linked Odoo 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 inconsistent procurement
-
Stock levels are not used in Odoo operations, but they are provided for general information. Inventory levels are updated either manually by purchase managers or through the import
-
Odoo warehouses' stocks are not linked to vendor stocks. Vendor stocks are absolutely independent since it is not possible control supplier moves, and, hence, to support double-entry system
-
Vendor inventories might be of especial importance in case of make-to-order logistic or drop shipping.
