Create Resupply Subcontractor

This video provides a practical walkthrough of how to manage the Resupply Subcontractor workflow in Odoo 18, ensuring that raw materials are correctly transferred to your manufacturing partners.

• Defining the Workflow: The narrator explains that resupplying a subcontractor is the process of sending your own inventory components to a partner so they can manufacture a finished product for you.
• Bill of Materials Configuration: To initiate this, ensure your Bill of Materials (BoM) is set to the Subcontracting type and that the specific subcontractor is listed on the BoM.
• Setting the Supply Route: On the component product forms, you must enable the “Resupply Subcontractor on Order” route under the Inventory tab to automate the material transfer.
• Triggering the Resupply: The video demonstrates that when a Purchase Order for the finished product is confirmed, Odoo automatically creates a Resupply operation to move the raw materials to the subcontractor’s location.
• Executing the Transfer: The narrator shows how to access the Delivery Order specifically created for the subcontractor, validate the quantities being sent, and process the shipment from your warehouse.
