Re: purchasing a set of products
byHi Jan,
it seems that you simply don't right functionality for your problem. If the product is essentially a kit (we call that Handelsstückliste in Germany in most cases), than why you use a different product for selling? I mean the customer doesn't necessarly need to know what the kit contains and how it is purchased but doubling the amount of product data seems wired and wrong to me. Of course there are a few other down stream issues to be handled when using Odoo E-Commerce as you do, but generally i would still avoid (and see no reason) to build out a replicating product structure (separated for sales and purchases). If you really do the assembly yourself you may also want to use full "manufacturing" instead (at least for the laptop type products).

Hi! We have several products which we purchase together. For example some laptops are purchased together with RAM and a SSD, but which are separate products for us in Odoo. I can't expect from our purchase department to remember all the components. To make purchasing error prone and easy, we configured a laptop *kit* which BOM contains a laptop *barebone*, RAM, SSD. So our purchase department can simply buy the laptop kit and don't need to remember which components are included in which product. In general this setup works but it has the following shortcomings: The reordering rules need to be configured for the barebone product. Once the minimum amount is reached a PO will be created automatically. The purchase department needs to remember to replace the barebone laptop with the barebone kit. Obviously deactivating "Can be Purchased" can't be applied here. We support this by stating "DON'T BUY" in the product barebone's name. Generally, the amount of products and BOMs is doubling, increasing the overall complexity. Do you have any better idea how to deal with such situation?
