Use Alternate item concept here. Or define a new BOM as this will be totally new item

Hi Ronald,

It's not a correction of the order, but it's like selection an "option". So it's the same kit, but with another upgraded machine on top. This is how orders are done in their world, it seems.

Hi,


Maybe I am missing something. But if a customer ordered a wrong product, kit or not, why not just credit the sales order and create a new one for the right ACME 2000 XL kit?


Negative amounts in a BoM seems to me a recipe for disaster.


Kind regards, Ronald

Hi all 
 
I have the following use case: 
 
- Our client sells products as a "Kit", eg. "ACME 1000 kit". This is a  
product in Odoo with BoM of the actual "ACME 1000" device, together with  
some supporting items eg. ACME kit installation manual, ACME kit spare  
parts, ACME kit installation at customer site. On fulfilment of the sale  
order all these products are sent out together. 
 
- Their client calls and doesnt want the ACME 1000, but the ACME 2000  
XL, but with the same supporting items. They order as a purchase order  
with two lines: "ACME 1000 kit", "Upgrade to ACME 2000 XL". 
 
Now that second product "Upgrade to ACME 2000 XL" should contain a BoM  
of "+1 ACME 2000 XL, -1 ACME 1000", so that the net result is that the  
kit is the same, but with one machine swapped for the upgraded one.  
However I cannot define negative amount on a BoM line. 
 
Does anyone know of a way / a module that is able to configure this? 
 
Tom 
 
PS. They want it this way so that the sale order lines and invoice lines  
match the customer's purchase order.
