Purchase

Odoo Purchase is the app UK businesses use to manage buying from vendors: requesting quotations, confirming purchase orders and turning receipts into vendor bills. It suits any company that wants a clear, auditable trail from an order to a paid invoice.

What this knowledge base covers

The articles in this section explain how to raise and send requests for quotation (RFQs), set up reordering rules so stock replenishes automatically, manage vendor bills and bill control policies, agree blanket orders and purchase templates with regular suppliers, run call for tenders when comparing multiple vendors, import vendor pricelists in bulk, and use the Purchase Analysis, vendor costs and procurement expenses reports.

Who it suits

Odoo Purchase works for any organisation that buys goods or services from external suppliers, from small teams placing occasional orders to procurement functions that need approval policies, tenders and detailed spend reporting.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Odoo Purchase app do?

It manages requests for quotation, purchase orders and vendor bills, and can automate reordering when stock runs low.

Do I need the Inventory app as well?

Some Purchase features, such as reordering rules and dropshipping, need the Inventory app installed alongside Purchase.

Where do I create a new purchase order?

Go to Purchase > Orders > Requests for Quotation and click New, then confirm the quotation once the vendor agrees terms.
