Re: [Openerp-community] Make_to_order procurement method

Title: Eric CAUDAL
I would see 2 main needs on my side:
"MTO served from stock". If I have 20 pieces on stock and need 5 pieces, current MTO will generate a PO for 5 pieces when I would like to get the order (with exact quantity) from the stock.
"MTS to be checked" (your requirement): Actually this could a simple modification on the MRP scheduler. Adding the status in the procure_method, those product should be ignored by the scheduler (maybe slight modifications to be done). You can filter them in the exception list and then change the procurement method to MTS or MTO.

Besides, procurement should have the possibility to allow changes for the supply_method and if this is 'buy' the possibility to modify the default supplier at that stage (this is very normal behavior in all factories).

Greetings everyone,

I would like to address a topic relating to the standard behaviour of procurement in OpenERP

Make to order procurement assumes that every time it is required it will be produced and stock in never checked.There are a vast amount of cases where products are produced/bought on order but a few exceptions also leave some in stock e.g:

- Byproducts (Need a 3m pole cut from 6m pole, 1 gets reserved the other goes on stock)
- Customer canceled orders, returned products etc

There is a possibility of keeping the products as make_to_stock and define minimum order points but that bundles the product request when the scheduler runs and we loose the procurement per sale order 

There is also some interest presented in the help platform of OpenERP: 

I personally find that this scenario can happen quite often and believe that there should be a standard configuration to allow handling such situations

Please let me know if this topic is worthy of a debate and useful enough for several businesses using OpenERP

Kind regards,
Paul
