This module enhances the procurement management for Manufacturing Order
(MRP) components when stock is partial. It extends the functionality of
the base stock_mts_mto_rule module to automatically split a component’s
stock move into two: one Make to Stock (MTS) for the available quantity
and another Make to Order (MTO) for the missing quantity.
In standard Odoo, when a manufacturing order is confirmed and a
component only has partial stock, the system reserves the available
quantity, but the stock move remains a single requirement. This can lead
to ambiguity in purchasing and procurement management, as a clear and
separate purchase requirement for the missing quantity is not
automatically created. The purchasing planner must manually analyze
these cases to determine what quantity needs to be acquired.
- Clarity in Purchasing: Automatically generates purchase
requirements (MTO) only for the exact missing quantity, eliminating
the need for manual calculations.
- Improved Traceability: Allows for clear and separate tracking of
stock that is already available and stock that is pending arrival.
- Process Automation: Optimizes the workflow between the warehouse,
production, and purchasing.
To activate this functionality, a Route must be configured in the
product that contains a Procurement Rule (stock.rule) with the
action set to “Split Procurement.”
The module ensures that when this rule is found and there is partial
stock for an MRP component, the splitting logic is automatically
executed.
This module introduces an automatic and transparent solution to this
problem. Upon confirming a component’s move for a manufacturing order
with only partial stock, the module splits the original move as follows:
- Make to Stock (MTS) Move: A move is created for the quantity that
is available in the warehouse. This move is set to “Assigned”
status, ready to be consumed by the manufacturing order.
- Make to Order (MTO) Move: A second, entirely new move is created
for the missing quantity. This move is set to “Confirmed” status
or “Waiting Availability,” generating a clear and traceable purchase
requirement (or a new manufacturing order if it’s a sub-assembly) for
the purchasing team.
