This Odoo tool aims to force suppliers to administrate their products in the Odoo portal. The app lets vendor contacts create, update, and import products they sell, related prices, and stock levels by their locations. Purchase managers might do the same and use that information for administrating procurement.
Vendor products catalog
The tool introduces a new stand-alone classifier of vendor products which is manageable either internally by purchase managers or in the Odoo portal by supplier representatives. As installed the app automatically creates vendor products based on existing Odoo products' supplier prices
Odoo sales based on supplies
Any vendor product might be linked to any Odoo product. In such a way, a purchase manager's goal becomes to match 'their' products with 'ours'. Each of our product variants might have a few linked vendor products
Supplier prices management
Portal users manage their company prices in the Odoo portal, while purchase managers might update them in the Odoo backend interface. Those prices are considered as standard Odoo 'supplier info' which correspondingly are used in purchase orders
Vendor stocks control
Both vendor representatives and purchase users register and update inventory levels for supplier locations. Vendor products' stocks data is available both in the Odoo portal and from the product variant, product template, and supplier backend form views
Vendor data import
The tool lets import vendor products, prices, and stock levels as Excel tables of predefined formats. In such a way, suppliers may quickly prepare commercial offers in the Odoo portal, while purchase managers - import those in the Odoo backend
Secured access and shared use
Any portal user may create, update, and archive products related to their company. Any Odoo user with access to products might rely upon vendor data for informational purposes. Any purchase manager may create, update, and archive vendor-related objects. Such managers might also get notifications of newly registered vendor products, their price changes, and inventory updates.
Odoo supplier portal
-
The Odoo portal allows searching and managing vendor products, locations, and stocks
-
Portal users may register, update, and import new items for their product catalog at any moment
-
Vendor representatives might manage their price lists, including registering new offers; modifying their validity period and minimum rules; deleting prices
-
Vendor users may import products and prices in a form of the predefined Excel table
-
Vendor representatives might manage their warehouses, including registering new locations; modifying their titles, descriptions, addresses, and delivery time; deleting warehouses
-
Suppliers can update inventory data, in particular register new and change stock levels per each location
-
Vendor users may import inventory levels in a form of the predefined Excel table
-
Suppliers can archive and restore products, prices, warehouses, and stocks.
Vendor inventories control
-
Each vendor stock level is provided per definite vendor location (warehouse). Vendors might create, edit, and archive their own warehouses
-
The tool allows an unlimited number of vendor locations per supplier. Locations are distinguished by name, address, and average delivery time
-
Keep stock levels in vendor units of measure, but purchase managers should make sure it has the same category as a linked Odoo product. The idea is to support conversion in order for internal users to work with habitual figures. For example, dozens and units are fine, while dozens and hours might lead to inconsistent procurement
-
Vendor stocks and locations might be switched off for portal users on the app configuration page
-
Stock levels are not used in Odoo operations, but they are provided for general information. Inventory levels are updated either manually by purchase managers/vendor representatives or through the import
-
Odoo warehouses' stocks are not linked to vendor stocks. Vendor stocks are absolutely independent since it is not possible to control supplier moves, and, hence, to support the double-entry system
-
Vendor inventories might be of special importance in the case of make-to-order logistics or drop shipping.
Vendor data import
Vendor products and prices
-
The tool lets vendor representatives and purchase users import vendor products and supplier prices as an Excel table in the predefined format. The table format is supplied with this tool source code and would be available on the configuration page as the 'Template for vendor products import' and in the import wizard under the section 'Help'
-
In the wizard, users can select whether previous products of this vendor should be archived. It lets fully replace this supplier product catalog with a new one
-
In the wizard, users can select whether previous prices should be marked as outdated. It lets remove misleading data.
Vendor products and stocks
-
The tool lets vendor representatives and purchase users import vendor products and stock levels as an Excel table in the predefined format. The table format is supplied with this tool source code and would be available on the configuration page as the 'Template for vendor stocks import' and in the import wizard under the section 'Help'
-
In the wizard, users can select whether previous products of this vendor should be archived. It lets fully replace this supplier product catalog with a new one
-
In the wizard, users can select whether previous stocks are not correct. It lets you have fully topical data after each import.
General import rules
-
Change the tables' content to provide more specific examples and labels. However, do not modify the columns' order and do not remove those: it will lead to inevitable mistakes
-
The import wizards offer 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 a special popup of the results and the errors. It lets control of what has been actually done
-
In the wizards select which table lines should be imported. It is useful in case the number of lines is too big to import them all
-
While preparing the table for import be cautious with cell formats and make sure portal users know that. Dates should be dates, numbers should be numbers, currencies, and units of measure should be chosen among active in Odoo
-
In case import can't be fully finished until Odoo stops it, contact your system administrator to increase configured time-outs or split an imported table into a few ones.
The app Vendor Products Portal is an add-on of the app Vendor Products Management. The latter allows managing vendor products, their prices, stocks at Odoo backend only (by internal users). The former extends that by allowing portal users (suppliers) by themselves introducing their catalog and updating/importing related documents: prices, warehouses, stock levels. Vendor Product Management is a required dependency for the module Vendor Products Portal.
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.
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.
