How to set several suppliers on a product?
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Keeping track of your vendors can be a real burden in day-to-day
|
|
business life. Prices can change and you might have several suppliers
|
|
for one product. With Odoo you have the possibility to directly link
|
|
vendors with the corresponding product and specify prices automatically
|
|
the first time you purchase them.
|
|
|
|
We will take the following example: We need to buy ``5 t-shirts``. We found
|
|
a **Vendor**; called ``Bob&Jerry's`` and we want to issue a request for
|
|
quotation.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Install the purchase module
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first step to set your suppliers on your products is to install the
|
|
purchase module. Go into your **App** module and install the
|
|
**Purchase** module.

|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
By installing the purchase module, the inventory and invoicing module
|
|
will be installed as well.
|
|
|
|
Create a Vendor
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The second step is to create a vendor. In this case we'll create the
|
|
vendor ``Bob&Jerry's``. Enter the purchase module, select
|
|
:menuselection:`Purchase --> Vendors` and create a new vendor.
|
|
|
|
You can choose if the contact is a company or a person, fill in basic
|
|
information such as address, phone, email,...
|
|
|
|
If you did not create the contact from the purchase module you will need
|
|
to go in the **Sales and Purchases** tab as well and indicate that the
|
|
contact is a **Vendor** (see picture below). If the contact is created from
|
|
the purchase module this box will be ticked automatically.

|
|
|
Create a product
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Next we can create the product we want to buy. We don't know the price
|
|
of the t-shirt yet because we still need to issue our **Request for
|
|
Quotation**.
|
|
|
|
To create a product enter your purchase module select
|
|
:menuselection:`Purchase --> Products` and create a new product.
|
|
|
|
We will call our product ``T-shirt`` and specify that the product can be
|
|
sold and purchased.

|
|
Add Vendors to the product
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The next action is to add vendors to the product. There are two ways to
|
|
handle this. If you issue a purchase order for the first time Odoo will
|
|
automatically link the vendor and its price to the product. You can also
|
|
add vendors manually
|
|
|
|
By issuing a first Purchase Order to new vendor
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When issuing a purchase order for the first time to a vendor, he will
|
|
automatically be linked to the product by Odoo. For our example let's
|
|
say that we issue a first purchase order to ``Bob&Jerry's`` for ``5 t-shirts``
|
|
at ``12.35 euros / piece``.
|
|
|
|
First create your purchase order with the correct product and
|
|
supplier (see picture below, or the documentation page
|
|
:doc:`../rfq/create` for more information)
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/suppliers04.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
When we save and validate the purchase order the vendor will
|
|
automatically be added to the product's vendors list. To check this
|
|
enter the purchase module, select :menuselection:`Purchase --> Products` and
|
|
select our T-shirt product. By opening the **Inventory** tab we notice that our
|
|
vendor and its price has automatically been added.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Note that every first time the product is purchased from a new
|
|
vendor, Odoo will automatically link the contact and price with the
|
|
product.
|
|
|
|
By adding manually
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
We can of course also add vendors and vendors information manually. On
|
|
the same page than previously, simply click on **Edit** and click the **Add
|
|
an item** button.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When adding a new **Vendor** you are also able to add extra information such
|
|
as the vendor product name or code, the validity of the price and the eventual
|
|
minimum quantity required. These informations can be added and modified
|
|
for existing vendors by simply clicking on the vendors line.
