The modules (sale_supply and sale_supply_drop_shipment) are ready to be
pushed except for this naming issue.
I think we did not got any good proposal, especially regarding the
coming production module.
I will try the summary what is the concept we want to name.
In Tryton, the standard procurements are "Outgoing Stock Move" in the
draft state. The scheduler checks for each products if his stock level
will not go under a quantity (defined by order point) over a period
(basicly twice the supply date). If it will go under than a "Purchase
Request" is created (or a production order when module will be ready).
There is one disadvantage with this way, there is no direct link between
a purchase and a sale but sometimes you would like to have it (for
example with drop shipment) and this is the goal of sale_supply module.
So what sale_supply tries to implement is to skip all the procurements
(draft stock move) creation and the scheduler runs etc. by directly
create the "Purchase Request" (or the Production order).
In some way, it is to behave like if the stock level was 0 for this
product and this sale order.
I think the values of "Supply Method" should be linked to the fact of
using or not the stock (and than not include the terms of purchase,
production etc.).
So my proposal will be:
Supply Method:
- From Stock
- On Request
I think request is pretty good because it can refers to both
"Purchase Request" and "Production Request".
