Dropship to subcontractor

The dropship to subcontractor workflow

1. Create and confirm a purchase order for the subcontracted product; this creates a Receipt and a separate request for quotation (RfQ) for the components, found under Purchase app > Orders > Requests for Quotation.
2. Confirm the vendor RfQ, which turns it into a vendor purchase order and creates a dropship order.
3. Once components reach the subcontractor, validate the dropship order (from the vendor PO’s Dropship button, or the subcontractor PO’s Resupply button).
4. Once the finished product is shipped back, validate the subcontractor PO’s Receipt to bring it into stock.

Odoo tracks the movement through a Subcontracting Location and virtual Production location, viewable at Inventory app > Reporting > Moves History.
