Vendor Products Portal v.15
The tool to motivate vendors to prepare product catalog in Odoo. Vendor portal
This Odoo tool aims to force suppliers to administrate their products in the Odoo portal. The app lets vendor contacts create, update, and import products they sell, related prices, and stock levels by their locations. Purchase managers might do the same and use that information for administrating procurement.
Vendor products catalog
The tool introduces a new stand-alone classifier of vendor products which is manageable either internally by purchase managers or in the Odoo portal by supplier representatives. 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's goal becomes to match 'their' products with 'ours'. Each of our product variants might have a few linked vendor products
Supplier prices management
Portal users manage their company prices in the Odoo portal, while purchase managers might update them in the Odoo backend interface. Those prices are considered as standard Odoo 'supplier info' which correspondingly are used in purchase orders
Vendor stocks control
Both vendor representatives and purchase users register and update inventory levels by locations. Vendor products' stocks data is available both in the Odoo portal and from product variant, product template, and supplier backend form views
Vendor data import
The tool lets import vendor products, prices, and stock levels as Excel tables of predefined formats. In such a way, suppliers may quickly prepare commercial offers in the Odoo portal, while purchase managers - import those in the Odoo backend
Secured access and shared use
Any portal user may create, update, and archive products related to their company. Any Odoo user with access to products might rely upon vendor data for informational purposes. Any purchase manager may create, update, and archive vendor-related objects. Such managers might also get notifications of newly registered vendor products and of their prices or inventory updates.

-

-
The tool allows an unlimited number of vendor locations per supplier. Locations are distinguished by name, address, and average delivery time
-
Keep stock levels in vendor units of measure, but purchase managers should make sure it has the same category as a linked Odoo product. The idea is to support conversion in order for internal users to work with habitual figures. For example, dozens and units are fine, while dozens and hours might lead to inconsistent procurement
-
Vendor stocks and locations might be switched off for portal users on the app configuration page
-
Stock levels are not used in Odoo operations, but they are provided for general information. Inventory levels are updated either manually by purchase managers/vendor representatives or through the import
-
Odoo warehouses' stocks are not linked to vendor stocks. Vendor stocks are absolutely independent since it is not possible to control supplier moves, and, hence, to support the double-entry system
-
Vendor inventories might be of special importance in case of make-to-order logistics or drop shipping.

Change the tables' content to provide more specific examples and labels. However, do not modify columns' order and do not remove those: it would lead to inevitable mistakes

While preparing the table for import be cautious with cell formats and make sure portal users know that. Dates should be dates, numbers should be numbers, currencies, and units of measure should be chosen among active in Odoo
-
In case import can't be fully finished until Odoo stops it, contact your system administrator to increase configured time-outs or split an imported table into a few ones.
