Re: Awnings dimensions app
byHi Graeme,
Do you have or know about a module that let define dimensions on products and on variants ? Because most things with awnings can be done with variants ( fabric color, alu color, operation mode ) but there is no possibility to have an attribute that let you specify a dimension as an integer value. The same for products. In for example wood products, you sell pieces but the price is in meter and the length is a parameter you must provide. Sometimes you also have a product with fixed dimensions ( a profile or a plate ), price in m of m², where you can sell as a hole or cut to dimensions ( with sometimes an extra fee as % for cutting ). A solution for these situations would be all is needed I think for a lot of use cases.
With kind regards,
Van Hirtum Johan

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.

Is there any app which covers this need please ?
Thank you!
