Involve suppliers in product management using the optional extension Vendor Products Portal

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 its 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's 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 the 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 decisions while selling those. Access info on vendor products' stocks right from the product variant, product template, and supplier 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, it is possible to quickly process commercial offers sent by vendors

Secured access and shared use

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, their price changes, or inventory updates.

Vendor inventories control

  • Each vendor stock level is provided per definite vendor location (warehouse)
  • Assign 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 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
  • 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 to control supplier moves, and, hence, to support a double-entry system
  • Vendor inventories might be of special importance in the case of make-to-order logistics or drop shipping

Vendor data import

Vendor products and prices

  • The tool lets purchase users import vendor products and supplier prices as an Excel table in the predefined format. The table format is supplied with this tool source code and would be available on the configuration page as the 'Template for vendor products import' and in the import wizard on the tab 'Help'
  • In the wizard, you can select whether previous products of this vendor should be archived. It lets you fully replace this supplier product catalog with a new one
  • In the wizard, you can select whether previous prices should be marked as outdated. It lets you remove misleading data.

Vendor products and stocks

  • The tool lets purchase users import vendor products and stock levels as an Excel table of the predefined format. The table format is supplied with this tool source code and would be available on the configuration page as the 'Template for vendor stocks import' and in the import wizard on the tab 'Help'
  • In the wizard, you can select whether previous products of this vendor should be archived. It lets you fully replace this supplier product catalog with a new one
  • In the wizard, you can select whether previous stocks are not any more correct. It lets you have fully topical data after each import.

General import rules

  • Change the tables' content to provide more specific examples and labels. However, do not modify the columns' order and do not remove those: it will lead to inevitable mistakes
  • The import wizards offer useful tips to make a correct import. You may edit those recommendations on the configuration page, but make sure you do not remove critical advice
  • Each import finishes with a special popup of the results and the errors. It lets you control what has been actually done
  • In the wizards, you can select which table lines should be imported. It is useful in case the number of lines is too big to import them all
  • While preparing the table for import be cautious with cell formats. 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.
