I am looking at building at a pdm/plm module that would leverage some of the existing capabilities that already exist in dolibarr. The main issue I am running into is that some parts, which would use the products module, there are more than one manufacturer and part number that have exactly the same technical specifications. These parts should be using the same part number. The variant option is not feasible, and is meant for products like t-shirts with different colors. Is there a way that I can attach multiple manufacturer and manufacturer part numbers to one product? Can a product be attached to another product? What modifications might be needed to make this type of action feasible? If more information is needed please feel free to reply to this post or contact me.
Hi Thomas,
not sure if I understand correctly. But I get you like to have multiple suppliers for one exactly part?
This would be already possible in the standard. So inside your system such a part would have the same no. but as a supplier order it could have different for each supplier.
Attaching products to another would be a BOM (bill of material). We use this a lot. With MOs you could create new products composed of the parts listed in the BOM.
hope this might help.
