1 - Prevent Sales Base On

In vanilla Odoo, sales are blocked if stock levels are below the Forecasted Quantity.

When this module is installed, the Forecasted Quantity is never used to block a website sale.

The new field Prevent Sales Base On allows to select the metric that is used instead.

The available choices are:

• Quantity available for sales
• Quantity available including next replenishment

2 - Quantity Available For Sales

This metric includes the current stocks in hand, minus the forcasted quantities to deliver.

It does not include any incoming quantity.

3- Quantity Available Including Next Replenishment

This metric includes the quantity available for sales, plus the quantity of this product to be received in the next replenishment shipment.

4 - Next Replenishment Delay

This metric indicates the expected number of days until the next replenishment arrives.

If at least one replenishment shipment is scheduled for this product, the expected date of this shipment is used.

Otherwise, the delay computed based on:

• The lead time defined on the main supplier for this product.
• Plus the sales and purchase lead time defined for the company.

In the above example, the estimated lead time would be:

13 days = 8 days + 2 days + 3 days

Computation

These metrics are computed distinctly per company.

They are not computed based on the computing mecanisms of Odoo. They are computed asynchronously based on Queue Jobs.

This prevents the module from significantly impacting the performance of the system.

Write operations on stock moves trigger the recomputation of the metrics for a given product.

Also, a cron job is predefined to execute once per day. This cron triggers the recomputation of the metrics for all products.
