Key features

Concrete building blocks

Centralized purchase orders and vendors

Manage purchase orders, requests for quotation, supplier invoices, and vendor details in a single system so procurement teams never lose track of what was ordered, from whom, and under which conditions.

Configurable approval workflows

Set up multi-step approval rules based on amount, department, supplier, or product category so only authorized purchases go ahead, while keeping the process simple for everyday users.

Real-time inventory and accounting linkage

Link each confirmed purchase order to incoming shipments and accounting entries so stock levels, valuation, and supplier balances update automatically without double entry.

Vendor performance and spend analysis

Track lead times, delivery performance, prices, and spend by supplier or product family so buyers can negotiate better agreements and finance can monitor budgets and commitments in real time.

Use cases

Concrete uses

Structured request-to-payment workflows

Guide every purchase from internal request to quotation, order, receipt, and supplier invoice in a clear sequence so procurement, warehouse, and finance teams stay in sync.

Competitive bidding and purchase agreements

Run requests for quotation with multiple vendors, compare offers side by side, and use purchase agreements to secure long-term pricing and terms with strategic suppliers.

Automated reordering and procurement rules

Use reordering rules and make-to-order logic so Odoo proposes or creates purchase orders as soon as stock or demand requires it, helping you avoid shortages without overbuying.
