STORY BEHIND THE FEATURES
ODOO BEHAVIOUR
In Odoo, when using a Kit or Manufacture type of Bill of Materials (BoM), the delivery or production process requires strict adherence to the exact components specified in the BOM. If the specified components are unavailable, the delivery remains incomplete (status 0), or the manufacturing process is halted. This rigid approach conflicts with practical kitting and manufacturing strategies, where timely delivery or production often requires flexibility to substitute materials or adjust quantities.
CLUEDOO BEHAVIOUR
Cluedoo introduces the BOM Alternative Materials feature for both Kit and Manufacture BoMs. This allows users to substitute products directly on stock moves while maintaining the relationship with the original BOM lines.
MODULE+
Cluedoo’s enhanced BOM flexibility aligns with real-world operational needs, allowing businesses to adapt to material shortages or changes on the fly. By enabling substitutions and adjustments during delivery or production, the feature ensures on-time deliveries and uninterrupted workflows, significantly improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
