Purchase Tender Process in Odoo (Formerly OpenERP)

Hello,
Here i would like to share with you how to manage Purchase Tender process in Odoo v8.
Goal : Choose the "Best supplier at the best price".

- Odoo provide a tremendous tender process(Calls for Bids Terminology) in v8.
- First you need to install "Purchase Requisition" module into Odoo.


-After installing it, go to purchase configuration and enable "Call For Bid" option then Apply it.



 Go to menu : Purchase > Purchase > Calls For Bids(Call as Tender)

Tender Process: 
a) I have created tender for 2 items(which we want to purchase from suppliers.) in draft stage.


b) Click to "Confirm Call" button  to confirm this tender, After confirmation you will see a button "Request a Quotation" left hand side below.

c) Click to "Request a Quotation" button,  you can choose supplier one by one which you want to generate quotation.(Don't forget to click on "create request for Quotation")



d) Here I have created 2 quotations for 2 suppliers("Rohan Nayani" and "CamptoCamp"), you can create multiple quotation depends on your business.


Supplier Quotation Process: 
- Odoo send default email to supplier (or we can send manually email to supplier) about to your quote has been generated from our company.
- Both Supplier will give full effort to win this BID(TENDER).
- Like, Rohan open his own quote and try to give best price and save it

- Same another side camptocamp open his own quote and try to give best price and save it

* Click Purchase Portal for more detail.

Close Tender Process
- We will go back to tender(call for bids).
- Tender bid deadline time is over so we will close this bid.


Bid Lines Selection Process(Supplier's Quotations Comparison Process).
- You will see button "Choose product lines" to choose best supplier with best price, click to this button, you will see tremendous feature for quotations lines selection.

- You will update qty for how many qty want to purchase from which supplier(Now selection are in your hand), then confirm it(By yellow true mark sign to confirm it).


- After completion of selection process click to "Generate PO" button to handle all process dynamically.



- Features:
    * Dynamically Change Quantity,
    * Generate Different order With Different Quantity,
    * Its like Real Time Tender Process.
    * Other all Quotation will  automatically Cancel by Odoo.
    * You can choose best supplier at best price.

Hope this help you To Build Your Business With TidyWay.

  1. Great tutorial.

    As for this

    Supplier Quotation Process:
    - Odoo send default email to supplier (or we can send manually email to supplier) about to your quote has been generated from our company.
    - Both Supplier will give full effort to win this BID(TENDER).
    - Like, Rohan open his own quote and try to give best price and save it

    Few questions

    a. Let's say the emails are sent to 2 suppliers

    - supplier A
    - supplier B

    so how do these suppliers bid the price? Do they manually email us back their quotations and then I have to manually go into Odoo 8 and update the price for each supplier's RFQ?

    or could they access the portal directly to see the bidding process?

    As far I know the module portal_purchase is not available in Odoo 8. Thus, I wonder how could these suppliers actually compete each other in this bidding process.

    Any help to clarify this further? Thanks in advance.

    you can use purchase portal from https://apps.openerp.com/apps/modules/master/portal_purchase/
    Little bit modification will be required to install this module into odoo v8.

    1. Hello Eric,
      Its very simple,
      1) you just replace all lines "base.group_portal" instead of "portal.group_portal".
      2) Temporally hide account.account_payment_term from csv.
