Ochre Product Inquiry
A guided price-inquiry workflow for Odoo 19 that moves a customer's price request from your sales team to your purchase team and back — while keeping each side's sensitive numbers hidden from the other.
Price inquiries usually live in spreadsheets and email. Customer names leak to suppliers, buying prices and margins sit in front of people who shouldn't see them, and there's no record of who quoted what. This module turns that into one controlled workflow inside Odoo — covering vendor quotes, markup, manager approval and management reporting — where every role sees only what it needs.

One guided workflow — from Draft to Won, with the sales-side inquiry captured up front.
|
The price wall
Visibility is enforced at the field level, not just hidden on a screen. Sales never sees the buying price or the markup; purchase never sees the customer or the sale price. Management sees both.
|
SALES SIDE SEES
✓ Customer & buyer details
✓ Customer sale price
✓ Turnover & qualification
HIDDEN FROM SALES
✗ Buying / cost price
✗ Markup percentage
✗ Vendor quotes grid

PRICE WALL

PURCHASE SIDE SEES
✓ Vendor & procurement cost
✓ MOQ & lead time
✓ Multiple vendor quotes
HIDDEN FROM PURCHASE
✗ Customer identity
✗ Customer sale price
✗ Annual turnover

The customer price is calculated as procurement price + markup and stays blank until the manager releases it. The markup percentage is visible to management only.
A controlled workflow, end to end
01 Draft
A Sales Executive raises the inquiry: customer, product, quality, quantity, inquiry type, urgency and notes. |
02 Submitted
Sales submits and it routes to the Purchase Manager. A Sales Coordinator can also raise and submit inquiries. |
03 Assigned
The Purchase Manager assigns the inquiry to a Purchase Executive, or claims it to work on directly. |
04 Awaiting Verification
The Purchase Executive enters the vendor rate and submits it for approval. |
05 Quoted
The Purchase Manager verifies and releases the price, or sends the rate back for a re-quote. |
06 Sent to Customer
The approved customer price returns to sales, who sends it to the customer. |
07 Won or Lost
Sales records the outcome, and the inquiry lands in management reporting. |
Seven stages — Draft → Submitted → Assigned → Awaiting Verification → Quoted → Sent to Customer → Won/Lost — each with the right role in control and key fields change-tracked in the chatter.
|
|
Multiple vendor quotes, one winner
Each inquiry has a Vendor Quotes grid where the Purchase Executive adds as many quotes as needed — one row per vendor, each with quote price, stock quantity, MOQ, lead time, price start date, target sales pricelist and remarks. The Purchase Manager clicks Select on the winning row, which copies that vendor and rate into the procurement fields. The grid is hidden from sales and locks once the price is released.
|
Two sides, one record
Procurement (purchase side). Cost, vendor, stock, MOQ and lead time — and no customer, sale price or turnover in sight.
|
Routing & terms. Who's handling the inquiry, plus commercial terms — currency, price unit, MOQ, lead time and quote validity — with role-appropriate read-only rules.
|
Roles & capabilities
Manager verification gate
No price reaches the customer without manager approval — verify and release, or send back for a re-quote. |
Automatic markup
The customer price is procurement price plus markup, applied automatically and revealed only on release. |
Vendor pricelist sync
The selected vendor and rate flow into the supplier pricelist, so the next quote starts from current numbers. |
Management reporting
Inquiries grouped into Pending, Quoted, Sent, Won and Lost — with markup visible to management only. |
Locked originator & audit
The originating Sales Executive is locked once submitted, and key fields are change-tracked in the chatter. |
Role-based read-only terms
Quality remarks, buyer email and commercial terms with read-only rules that fit each role. |
