Buying

End-to-end procurement: RFQ → PO → receipt → vendor bill → payment.

Key models

• res.partner — vendor (supplier_rank > 0)
• product.supplierinfo — vendor-product link (price, lead time, min qty)
• purchase.order — RFQ (draft/sent) then PO (purchase/done)
• purchase.order.line — PO lines
• stock.picking — incoming receipt (auto-created from PO)
• account.move — vendor bill (move_type = in_invoice)
• account.payment — payment sent

Typical workflows

1. RFQ → create purchase.order in draft, send via action_rfq_send
2. Confirm PO → button_confirm (state: draft → purchase), creates incoming picking
3. Receive → validate stock.picking, quantities flow to stock.quant
4. Bill → create vendor bill from PO (action_create_invoice)
5. Three-way match → verify PO qty/price ↔ receipt qty ↔ bill qty/price
6. Pay → register account.payment, reconcile against bill

Gotchas

• product.supplierinfo is per product+vendor — reorder rules pick lowest-price supplier by default.
• Lead time = product.supplierinfo.delay + purchase_calendar if set.
• Bill can be created before receipt — watch for "Bill received but goods not yet in stock".
• Currency on vendor bill follows vendor default, not company — check currency_id.
