Vendor Product Management v.11
The tool to administrate vendor data about products, prices and available stocks
The tool introduces a new stand-alone classifier of vendor products. Each supplier should have an own catalogue with unique product names and codes
Any vendor product might be linked to your own product. In such a way a purchase manager goal becomes to match 'their' products with 'ours'. Each of our product variants might have a few related vendor products
Purchase managers keep and update prices of all supplied products. Those prices are considered as standard Odoo 'supplier info' which correspondingly are used in purchase orders
Manage vendor products' stock levels to make better decision while selling those. It is of especial importance in case of make-to-order logistic or drop shipping. Look at the section Vendor Stocks
The tool let you import vendor products and prices as an Excel table. Look at the section Import products and prices
Import stock levels of suppliers also as an Excel table. Look at the section Import products and stocks
Access data about vendor products' stocks right from product variant, product template, and supplier form views. You should just click a button to get an overview
Any purchase manager may create, update, and archive vendor-related objects. Any Odoo user with an access to products might rely upon vendor data for informational purposes
As soon as you installed the module, Odoo would automatically create vendor products based on existing products' supplier infos
- Each stock level is provided per definite vendor location (warehouse)
- Assign an unlimited number of vendor locations per each supplier. Locations are distinguished by name, address, and average delivery time
- Keep stock levels in vendor units of measure, but make sure it has the same category as our linked product. The idea is to support conversion in order internal users work with habitual figures. For example, dozens and units are fine, while dozens and hours might lead to mistakes
- Stock levels are not used in our moves, but they are provided for general information. Stock levels are updated either manually by purchase managers or through the import process
- The table format is supplied with this tool source code and would be available for you on the configuration page as the 'Template for vendor products import' and in the import wizard on the tab 'Help'
- You may change the table content to provide users with more specific examples and labels. However do no not change columns' order and do not remove those: it would lead to inevitable mistakes
- The wizard offers 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 the special results' and errors' pop-up. It let you control of what has been actually done
- In the wizard you can select which table lines should be imported. It is useful in case the number of lines is too big to import them all
- In the wizard you can select whether previous products of this vendor should be archived. It let you fully replace this supplier product catalogue with a new one
- In the wizard you can select whether previous prices should be marked as outdated. It let you remove misleading data
- While preparing the table for import be cautious with cell formats. Dates should be dates, numbers should be numbers, currency should be chosen among active ones
- In case import can't be fully finished until Odoo stops it, contact your system administrator to increase configured time-outs

Python dependency
To provide the feature of dynamic Excel table generation, install the Python library xlsxwriter:
pip install xlsxwriter
Frequently Asked Questions about Vendor Product Management Odoo v.11
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.
Take into account that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store 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. Login 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 on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click 'Continue'. The action will trigger the installation process.
These steps will install the app for your project 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. Make sure 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 by default some crucial items there (e.g. /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.
Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;
Re-start the Odoo server;
Turn on the developer mode (technical settings);
Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
Find the app and push the button 'Install';
Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.
A red/orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full lists of deployed modules (including core and third party ones).
No, we distribute the tools only through the official Odoo apps store
Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.
No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.
Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set up in euros. The Odoo store converts prices in others currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change, when exchange rate changes.
Bug reporting
In case you have faced any bugs or inconsistent behavior, do not hesitate to contact us. We guarantee to provide fixes within 60 days after the purchase, while even after this period we are strongly interested to improve our tools.
No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.
Please include in your request as many details as possible: screenshots, Odoo server logs, a full description of how to reproduce your problem, and so on. Usually, it takes a few business days to prepare a working plan for an issue (if a bug is confirmed) or provide you with guidelines on what should be done (otherwise).
Public features requests and module ideas (free development)
We are strongly motivated to improve our tools and would be grateful for any sort of feedback. In case your requirements are of public use and might be efficiently implemented, the team would include those in our to-do list.
Such a to-do list is processed on a regular basis and does not assume extra fees. Although we cannot promise deadlines and final design, it might be a good way to get desired features without investments and risks.
