In the Odoo system, there is automatic stock replenishment, which is configured in the product card. To access the product card, go to the Inventory module, click on the Products menu, and select Products. 


We open the desired product. After that, we click the Replenishment Rules button.



Let's create a new replenishment rule for this by clicking the New button.


After that, a line of the replenishment rule will appear, let's analyze it.

So, 1 highlighted Minimum quantity, Maximum quantity, and Order them need to be entered.

The minimum quantity is the minimum amount of product that can be in stock. If it falls below this minimum quantity, the product will be automatically replenished.

The maximum quantity is the maximum amount of product to which it will be automatically replenished.

Order – this is the interval at which the product will be replenished (1=1,2,3..; 10=10,20,30; 50=50,100,150…).

The 2nd highlighted column Desired Route is how the product will be replenished; if the product is purchased, then we choose to purchase and the system will automatically buy from the supplier. If the product is manufactured, then we set it to Production and when the quantity is below the minimum, a production order will be created.

If we set the Desired Route to Purchase, then in the adjacent column number 3, we need to choose from which supplier the purchase will take place.



To add a Supplier for this product, you need to go to this Product, enter the Purchase section and click the Add Product button, select the Supplier and specify the Price, then click the Save button. Now, another supplier will be added to the replenishment rules for this product.
