Hello Miroslav,

thank you for the input. This is OCA's mailing list and as such focuses on free OCA's modules or modules by OCA contributors not yet in OCA's repositories. The modules you have mentioned generally (judging by their description) provide a way to setup new supplier records by themselves and then some communication around pricelists/products.

However these have limitations that I am trying to overcome here:
1) I am stringly against possibility of creating a new contact in the system by just filling in the publicly available form on the website as the Website Vendor Form Registration module does. This poses numerous risks: flooding the system with nonsense, innocent and not so innocent duplication of entries, etc... My solution here is a survey with a module that allows to create a res.partner record from the information collected (by dynamically mapping fields from survey to target model). When the module is matured enough I'll create a PR in OCA repo.

2) The other modules work with already existing products and pricelists. My original question was aimed more towards how to help creating these in a safe way (the same risks as above) and move part of the work to suppliers themselves.


But thank you for trying to help here.

Best regards

	Radovan Skolnik
