Involve vendors themselves in product management using the tool Vendor Products Portal
Most of businesses are vulnerable to any change in supplies. Often when you sell a product you already need to know when and on which conditions this item would be purchased. This is an Odoo tool to efficiently access, update, and import information about your vendors' products, prices, and stock levels.

Vendor products catalog

The tool introduces a new stand-alone classifier of vendor products. Each supplier should have an own catalog with unique product names and codes.
Any vendor product might be linked to your own product. In such a way a purchase manager goal becomes to match 'their' products with 'ours'. Each of our product variants might have a few related vendor products.
Any purchase manager may create, update, and archive vendor-related objects. Any Odoo user with an access to products might rely upon vendor data for informational purposes.
As soon as you installed the module, Odoo would automatically create vendor products based on existing products' supplier infos.

Vendor stocks control

Manage vendor products' stock levels to make better decision while selling those. It is of especial importance in case of make-to-order logistic or drop shipping.
You may access info of vendor products' stocks right from product variant, product template, and supplier form views. You should just click a related button to get an overview.
Our warehouses' stocks are not linked to vendor stocks. Vendor stocks are absolutely independent since we can't control all supplier moves, and, hence, can't support double-entry system
  • Each stock level is provided per definite vendor location (warehouse)
  • Assign an unlimited number of vendor locations per each supplier. Locations are distinguished by name, address, and average delivery time
  • Keep stock levels in vendor units of measure, but make sure it has the same category as our linked product. The idea is to support conversion in order internal users work with habitual figures. For example, dozens and units are fine, while dozens and hours might lead to mistakes
  • Stock levels are not used in our moves, but they are provided for general information. Stock levels are updated either manually by purchase managers or through the import process

Supplier prices management

Purchase managers keep and update prices of all supplied products.
Those prices are considered as standard Odoo 'supplier info' which correspondingly are used in purchase orders.

Comfortable importing of vendor product data

The tool let you import vendor products, prices, and stock levels as an Excel table.
The tool let purchase users import vendor products and prices as an Excel table of the predefined format
  • The table format is supplied with this tool source code and would be available for you on the configuration page as the 'Template for vendor products import' and in the import wizard on the tab 'Help'
  • You may change the table content to provide users with more specific examples and labels. However do no not change columns' order and do not remove those: it would lead to inevitable mistakes
  • The wizard offers useful tips to make a correct import. You may edit those recommendations on the configuration page, but make sure you do not remove critical advice
  • Each import finishes with the special results' and errors' pop-up. It let you control of what has been actually done
  • In the wizard you can select which table lines should be imported. It is useful in case the number of lines is too big to import them all
  • In the wizard you can select whether previous products of this vendor should be archived. It let you fully replace this supplier product catalogue with a new one
  • In the wizard you can select whether previous prices should be marked as outdated. It let you remove misleading data
  • While preparing the table for import be cautious with cell formats. Dates should be dates, numbers should be numbers, currency should be chosen among active ones
  • In case import can't be fully finished until Odoo stops it, contact your system administrator to increase configured time-outs

According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:

  • Every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
  • Starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
  • Disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.

Please note that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.

The most straightforward approach is to use the Odoo store's built-in workflow:

1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh

2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Log in to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please make sure that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project

3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click the Deploy button. In the pop-up window, submit the decision and click 'Continue.' This action will trigger the installation process.

These steps will install the app for your project's production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:

1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store

2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Ensure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add some crucial items there (e.g. /lib) by default. You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions

3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or, if your settings assume that, wait until it is automatically built.

1. Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;
2. Re-start the Odoo server;
3. Turn on developer mode (technical settings);
4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
5. Find the app and push the button 'Activate'/'Install';
6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.

Yes, sure. Simultaneously, Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart, so you should exclude previously purchased tools to avoid double payment.

A red/orange warning does not influence the app's features. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests since the latter assume behavior that conflicts with our app's goals. For example, we change the price calculation, while the standard Odoo module tests compare the final price to a standard algorithm.

So, first of all, please check the deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?

If you still assume that the warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full list of deployed modules (including core and third-party ones).

No, we only distribute the tools through the official Odoo apps store.

Regretfully, we do not have the technical means to provide individual prices. 

No, third-party apps can not be used on Odoo Online. Unfortunately, Odoo SaaS blocks such a possibility.

Yes, our tool requires all modules marked in dependencies to work correctly. The price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.

The price for our modules is set in euros. The Odoo store converts prices to other currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change when the exchange rate is updated.
