ODOO'S FUNCTION
In Odoo’s standard inventory and purchasing modules, the country of origin can be specified at the product template level, but there is no mechanism to associate a specific country of origin with individual lots or serial numbers. This limitation creates challenges for distributors who source the same part number (PN) from multiple countries, as they cannot accurately track or report the origin of each batch on sales invoices. Additionally, Odoo does not automatically populate the supplier’s country as the origin during purchase order (PO) receipt creation, requiring manual documentation that is prone to errors and inefficiencies.
CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION
