Filling in product catalogue by vendors (external parties - i.e. portal users)

Hello,

I am working with a client that works in food supply industry - i.e. they purchase groceries and other food stuff and prepare food on large scale. An example would be hundreds/thousands portions of bolognese sauce made of beef, tomato sauce, ...

Now the company is just starting their operations and are collecting information about possible suppliers and products available. Their idea is something like sending out Rf? (P as proposal maybe) let's say for that tomato sauce where the vendors would provide information such as: description, origin, packaging, price, ...

My experience strongly suggests not allowing external parties to be allowed to create business records such as products in the system but this is the kind of scenario they describe as the desired outcome. I have used a 3rd party module which extends the RfQ functionality to fill in the prices by suppliers (so effectively changing one attribute in purchase.order.line). But in this case the scenario should lead to creation of new product.[template|product] and also product.supplierinfo by the suppliers.

AFAIK Odoo out-of-the-box does not have anything even close to this. Has anyone faced similar requirement? Any recommendations on how to tackle this one?

Any advice is greatly welcome.

Best regards
