Hello, So it is as I suspected. You have the purchase orders generated by the scheduler add to "Virtual stock" even though they are only quotation, as a work around. This is because when the scheduler runs it uses as you said, Virtual Stock to calculate what should be ordered.
This is bad practice. Companies using OpenERP and many modules depend on virtual stock to accurately tell what stock they have, not real stock. So, by adding to virtual stock, it makes it not possible for a company to maintain accurate stock. (virtual stock shows what you have, what you intend to sell (confirmed sales) and what you have ordered (confirmed orders) This is core function. If I create a quotation order, or a quotation purchase order it does not add to virtual stock or subtract. This is the principal functionality. Problem: I have 20 pieces and the scheduler generates a purchase order for 120 pieces, well, now I think I have 140 pieces when really I only have 20 and I have not even ordered the extra product yet. It is only a quotation. This effect completely ruins the stock management. Instead of this current (bug), The scheduler should maintain cached values of the previous orders that were generated. Each time the scheduler runs before it creates a new purchase order it should check against already created purchase orders. Then create a new one. If a purchase order previously generated from the scheduler is confirmed or deleted, then the rules are no longer calculated. This cached value should be used on the purchase order object. Roughly, when the min/max rules are calculated it takes the purchase orders generated as a factor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP Framework Experts, which is subscribed to OpenERP Addons. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921866 Title: Scheduler created PO's affects virtual stock Status in OpenERP Addons (modules): Incomplete Bug description: I have min/max rules setup. When the scheduler runs nightly it auto- generates purchase orders. It generates them correctly. They are in quotation state. The problem is that they affect virtual stock. If I have 5 parts left in stock. A minimum rule of 10. It creates a purchase order for 5 in quotation. Now it says I have 10 in virtual stock, but this is not right. It should never ever effect virtual stock unless it is confirmed. A quotation has no value. Does it do this behavior intentionally to avoid creating the same purchase order again the next night? If so thats a bad work around.
