Outsourced processing is a processing method in which the outsourcing party handles product subcontracting without providing materials. It refers to a processing operation mode where, due to insufficient production capacity of the company or special reasons, the company provides materials, and the outsourced supplier takes the materials and is responsible for completing the production of the outsourced parts, with corresponding processing fees settled separately. Adopting outsourced processing can effectively reduce the decline in revenue caused by insufficient company capacity, and outsourcing management is an important part of production management.
Starting from versions 13 and 14, Odoo provides native subcontracting functionality, offering comprehensive management of the entire subcontracting business process, including subcontracting purchase orders, subcontracting material outbound, subcontracting inbound, and subcontracting material write-off. In this article, we will introduce how to use the subcontracting function in Odoo 14 and 13.
Business scenario: A shoe factory outsources the production of its semi-finished product [outsourced sole] to the supplier [outsourced factory], using material [outsourced material EVA] * 2, and needs to complete the related inbound and outbound warehouse and financial transfer settlement process.
1. Configuration
Manufacturing--Basic Configuration--Settings--Check【Subcontracting】
2. Set the subcontract supplier in the BOM
At this point in the bill of materials, you can set the type and subcontract supplier in the BOM type. Note that the supplier here should include the designated supplier for subsequent procurement of this finished product.
Pay attention here to the advanced inventory route settings for finished goods (purchased) and raw materials (MTO as components for outsourced production).

4. Start procurement outsourcing.
We directly supply an outsourced outsole; if MTO is set, the system will automatically create the related outsourced purchase order and set the initial outsourced price.
TRANSLATED SEGMENT:
The system automatically generates a purchase order. Subsequently, click to confirm receipt and follow the normal procurement process.

5. Related Inventory Operation Documents
5.1 Once the purchase order is confirmed, the system will automatically generate 1 material issue note and 1 finished product purchase receipt note
=======Material Outbound=====
======Finished Product Warehousing========
5.2 In the relevant product movement report, we can clearly see the flow of outsourced materials and finished products.
5.3 Related production orders, note that they are inactive by default, we can manually activate them
5.4 Related inventory movements allow for a clearer view of the relevant documents and inventory movements. Subcontracting material issue -> Subcontracting production -> Subcontracting completion and warehousing
6. Using the system's inventory financial related functions, relevant outsourced inventory accounts can be easily generated.
Please refer to our Odoo financial related articles.
It can be seen that the native Odoo functionality has already completed the basic full outsourcing process. On this basis, we can carry out secondary development according to customer needs, and it will perfectly integrate with Odoo's powerful full-featured ERP.
We have also extensively developed numerous production-related features, such as process outsourcing and price negotiation, production material loss, etc., and have applied the full-production-function Odoo to multiple large companies, including listed companies. Standing on the shoulders of giants always yields twice the result with half the effort.
