Child Vendor Pricelist

Managing vendor pricing can be complex, especially when dealing with parent-child vendor relationships. The Automated Vendor Pricelist Selection module enhances Odoo’s Purchase module by ensuring that Purchase Orders and RFQs automatically apply the correct pricelist, whether from the child vendor or its parent vendor.

This feature reduces manual intervention, eliminates pricing inconsistencies, and streamlines procurement workflows, ensuring the right cost structure is applied automatically.

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Automated Pricelist Selection – When a child vendor is chosen, the system automatically applies its pricelist.
2. Fallback to Parent Vendor Pricelist – If no pricelist exists for the child vendor, the system inherits the parent vendor’s pricelist, ensuring accurate cost calculations.
3. Quantity-Based Pricing Application – Maintains tiered pricing structures based on the vendor’s pricelist rules.
4. Seamless Integration with Purchase Orders – Works directly within RFQs and Purchase Orders, reducing manual adjustments.
5. Vendor Product Code & Description – Automatically fetches vendor-specific product codes and names when applying pricelist rules.

Example Use Case:

A procurement officer is placing an order with Vendor B (a child vendor).

1. Scenario 1: Vendor B has a specific pricelist – The system automatically applies it.
2. Scenario 2: Vendor B does not have a pricelist – The system inherits the parent vendor’s pricelist, ensuring correct pricing without manual entry.
3. Scenario 3: The vendor’s pricelist has quantity-based pricing rules – The correct tiered pricing is applied to match the order quantity.

This ensures accurate cost calculations, reduces errors, and streamlines vendor price management.
