Re: Awnings dimensions app
by
MoaHub, Graeme Gellatly
OK, well that is a common basic use case. Using Excel as a configurator into an ERP system for essentially pricing purposes. I know lots of people who do that in many different ERP systems. It reaches its limits when it comes to production and stock, you end up with manually creating production orders as well, but still has a use case.
So if it is really simple, then you can just use a form view for sale order lines add a few fields and run the calculations there. If it isn't, say they need to choose the arm strength, or I don't know something else about awnings, then watch the Odoo videos of using odoo spreadsheet configurator linked to sale. I think it was partly covered in keynote. I am not sure if community or enterprise, but even if only enterprise, the actual concept is not hard to bring to community.

Hello Graeme,Thank you for your answer.This is a company that manufactures shelters. >From an excel file, it generates a quote based on dynamic dimensions.
The excel sheet also calculates the dimensions of fabric required for the shelter and the price.
I thought about the OCA product configurator but that doesn't cover the needs.Thank you !Le mer. 11 déc. 2024 à 20:57, Graeme Gellatly <notifications@odoo-community.org> a écrit :Hi,It doesn't really explain very well your question.Is it off plans, is it for pricing, is it for BoMs, for manufacturing machine integration e.g. CNC, is it the paper cutting problem, etc etc etc. I've done a lot of work in this space within custom MTO for manufacturing and pricing of construction materials. The 2 most difficult modules I used to maintain are mrp_dynamic_line (public, but always too risky/aggressive to be OCA) which calculates Production Orders dynamically from template attributes. The second is a DSL for managing the specification for a particular industry to do pricing, send to BoM (using dynamic_line and materials list from DSL, and does calculate all the dimensions) and api to manufacturing equipment on the SO Line which is private. The actual part of that module that handles the dimensions calculation is quite simple. It is just a one2many on sale order line with a few basic fields (and every similar model)Those between them + Odoo + OCA cover maybe 30% of the problem space.If it is custom MTO, then you also have a LOT of product code/cost/attribute/tracking/valuation considerations because every item at least in this case can have a different cost based on those DSL attributes with no real relation to any UoM concept. You need to avoid this if you can.Modern QS stuff, uses google earth to approximate dimension in brownfields, can read pdf plans, has onsite site measure functionality, produces necessary legal docs, quotes, 3d models etc, calculates angles and rakes, material specific things like can waste be reused elsewhere, environmental specific things like wind loading and engineering and legal requirements for them. And it does it in a few minutes, just needing regularly updated component pricing via a csv or similar.Then production planning software manages complex scheduling like the 2d and 3d cutting problems.Then machine specific software handles the rest.But for simple cases, in newer versions of Odoo, and possibly just enterprise, they allow a configuration spreadsheet at the sale to populate the sale. And they have a new Engineering to Order approach. I have two other smaller manufacturing for construction clients who had been using external tools wanting this investigated, but not started yet.On Thu, Dec 12, 2024 at 1:52 AM Ahmed Trigui <notifications@odoo-community.org> wrote:Hello community,I'm looking for a module to calculate awnings dimensions.Is there any app which covers this need please ?Thank you!--
