  • In Odoo, reordering rules are a set of conditions that can be defined for a product or a product category to automate the process of reordering items when their stock levels fall below a certain threshold.
  • Reordering rules can be used to define the minimum and maximum stock levels of a product, the supplier from whom the product should be ordered, and the quantity to be ordered. Once the stock level of a product falls below the minimum level, Odoo will automatically create a purchase order to reorder the required quantity from the designated supplier.
  • Reordering rules can be set up for individual products or for entire product categories. They can also be configured to take into account various factors such as lead times, minimum order quantities, and safety stock levels.

  • You can set “Quantity Multiple” if you want else you can leave it 0 or 1. Multiple Quantities can be configured so that products are only ordered in batches of a certain quantity. Depending on the number entered, this can result in the creation of a purchase order that would put the resulting stock on hand above what is specified in the Max Quantity field.
