auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0Lets you subcontract manufacturing to vendors: you can define subcontracting bills of materials, send components to a subcontractor, and receive the finished product back into stock.
This module adds a new 'Subcontracting' type on bills of materials (mrp.bom). On such a bill you choose one or more subcontractors, and the vendor's supplier record shows a 'Subcontracted' flag when that vendor is used on a subcontracting bill.
When you confirm an incoming transfer from a vendor that has a subcontracting bill, Odoo automatically creates a linked manufacturing order for the subcontracted product. Components are sent to the subcontractor's location, and the finished goods come back through the receipt. A 'Record components' button appears on the transfer when tracked components are involved, and a button on the move opens the raw materials used for the subcontracted product.
Each company gets a dedicated subcontracting stock location, and each warehouse gets a 'Resupply Subcontractors' option plus a subcontracting operation type and route. If components are tracked by lot or serial number, quantities must be registered through the produce wizard; otherwise Odoo blocks over-processing with an error. Cancelling or returning a subcontracted move also cancels or reverses the linked manufacturing order.
