Estimated reading: 2 minutes 233 views

In Odoo Manufacturing resupply subcontracting, the contracting company ships components to a subcontractor, who manufactures the product and returns it as a purchase.

How to configure the product and BoM

  1. On the product’s Purchase tab, add the subcontractor as a Vendor with a Price and a Delivery Lead Time covering receipt of components, manufacturing and delivery.
  2. On its bill of materials, set BoM Type to Subcontracting, add the subcontractor, and list the components on the Components tab.

How to configure components

  1. For each component listed on the BoM, open its product form and, on the Inventory tab, set its route to Resupply Subcontractor on Order.

The resupply subcontracting workflow

  1. Create and confirm a purchase order for the subcontracted product in Purchase app > Orders > Purchase Orders, which creates both a Resupply order and a Receipt.
  2. Open the Resupply order and click Validate to confirm the components have been sent.
  3. Once the subcontractor delivers the finished product, validate the 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.
