[Bug 1234004] Re: Manufacturing order created from procurement is automatically confirmed

 

Hello Ronald,

This is the desired behavior for the business flow because when we
confirm the sale order it will generate the procurement and when you run
the procurement it will create and confirm the respective MO. because we
have to manage our virtual stock as well.

Let me explain the virtual stock here.
Virtual stock :- Incoming stock move (which is on draft and waiting state) - Outgoing stock move(which is on draft and waiting state) + real stock 

So when we run the scheduler, our plan is to manage the virtual stock 0.0. So when manufacturing  order confirms it will creates the stock move from production to stock location, So our virtual stock satisfy and this is clearly an intensional behavior not the bug. Here we are not only take the case as "Make to Order" because consider the same behavior for the "Make to Stock" . 
Once MO confirmed  then it will creates the stock move and virtual stock satisfied. Take the example for the make to stock and automated order point , on this condition (for automated order point) procurement order will be created based on the virtual stock. If MO will not confirmed > stock move won't created then run the scheduler again and again then it will create a manufacturing  order more times which doesn't make sense;-)

You have also ask about the purchase order behavior for this, also you
can see when draft purchase order created when you run the
procurement/scheduler as well as at the same time virtual stock also
will updated without the stock move. So that will be fine here . And we
have done much of the conversation on lp:921866, would you please check
it this will help.

*About your issue which is for the multiple BOM for the same product*
We can define the BOM property on the Bill of material , when you have created the BoM. So this property field is also linked on sale order . You can see on sale order line on at there you can add the BOM property, So If you have multiple BoM for the same product , you can enter the BoM property for all the BoMS and select the BoM property on sale order line. Based on this BoM property relavent BoM will be link with the Manufacturing order.

Hope this will help.

Let me know your point of view.

Thank you!

Title:
  Manufacturing order created from procurement is automatically
  confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a product with attributes:

  - type of product: stockable
  - procurement method: make to order
  - supply method: produce

  I have multiple locations where I can produce the product. For this
  routings have been created.

  When I confirm a Sale Order (SO), and run the scheduler, a
  Manufacturing Order (MO) is created which is correct.

  However the MO is immediately confirmed.

  This makes it impossible to change:
  - The scheduled date
  - The bill of materials (I might have alternative BOM's)
  - The routing (this is the problem I encountered)
  - Locations for raw materials or finished products

  I can understand that this works for simple setups, where each product
  has only one possible routing, scheduled dates never change etc.

  But there really has to be an option to have the MO created in draft
  state. Just like Purchase Orders (PO) are created in draft state when
  supply method is 'buy'.

  Unfortunately this is not easy to change by creating an extra module,
  as the confirmation is done right at the end of the function that
  creates the MO at the first place.

  It is the line in python file mrp/procurement.py, function make_mo:

  wf_service.trg_validate(uid, 'mrp.production', produce_id,
  'button_confirm', cr)

  Calling this workflow should IMHO be dependent on a configuration
  option wether to automatically confirm MO's or not.

  There are to many use-cases where automatic confirmation is absolutely
  undesirable.

  Putting this change in  an extra module would requiring replacing the
  whole make_mo function with a modified copy, which I think is a very
  bad idea for maintainability.
