Subcontract the manufacturing
|
||
=============================
|
||
|
||
Some businesses subcontract the production of some finished products
|
||
through subcontractors. This can be easily managed through Odoo.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
Go to the *Manufacturing app > Configuration > Settings* and tick the
|
||
box *Subcontracting*.

|
||
You can now define subcontractors contacts. When you purchase or receive
|
||
products from a contact of type subcontractor, the correct stock moves
|
||
are created to represent the subcontracting of the production.

|
||
.. tip::
|
||
You can set the subcontractor as a vendor in case you plan to buy him
|
||
the subcontracted products via purchase orders.
|
||
|
||
The next step is to create a *Bill of Material* of type
|
||
*subcontracted*. In this *BoM*, list the components you need to
|
||
supply to the subcontractor.
|
||

|
||
|
||
You can also define subcontractors on the BoM.
|
||
|
||
- If no subcontractor is set, the BoM can be used by any subcontractor
|
||
|
||
- If some are set, the BoM can only be used for those subcontractors

Receive or buy a subcontracted product
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
You have two options to trigger the subcontracting of a product:
|
||
|
||
- **Option A**: You can buy the subcontracted product from your
|
||
subcontractor
|
||
|
||
- **Option B**: You can directly receive the subcontracted product
|
||
|
||
Let’s start with option A (option B is just a simpler version of it).
|
||
|
||
Create a new purchase order. The vendor must be a subcontractor. The
|
||
unit price should be the cost you are paying to the subcontractor for
|
||
the subcontracting (thus, it’s not necessarily the total cost of the
|
||
subcontracted product).
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
The validation of the purchase order automatically creates the receipt.
|
||
Whenever you receive the product, you can validate the receipt. The
|
||
following stock moves are created:
|
||
|
||
- For the components
|
||
|
||
- From Subcontracting To Production
|
||
|
||
- For the subcontracted product
|
||
|
||
- From Production to Subcontracting
|
||
|
||
- From Subcontracting to Stock
|
||
|
||
The *Subcontracting Location* represents the place where the products
|
||
are at your subcontractor’s warehouse. It is configured as an internal
|
||
location, the components that are sent to the subcontractor are still
|
||
valued in your stock.
|
||
|
||
For option B, you can simply create the receipt manually with a partner
|
||
of type subcontractor defined on it.
|
||
|
||
Resupply the subcontractor with the components
|
||
==============================================
|
||
|
||
There are 3 ways to manage the resupply of your subcontractor with the
|
||
components:
|
||
|
||
- **Manually**: You create a delivery order in which you set the
|
||
subcontractor as a partner and you choose the components to
|
||
deliver.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
- **With reordering rules**: You can define a *reordering rule*
|
||
on the *Subcontracting location* to ensure that they are always
|
||
enough components sent to your subcontractors. When the
|
||
reordering rule is triggered, a delivery order is created for the
|
||
product is automatically created.
|
||

|
||
|
||
- **On order**: You can also deliver the components to your
|
||
subcontractors each time you order a subcontracted product. For
|
||
this, you need to tick the route *Resupply Subcontractor on
|
||
Order* on the wanted components.
