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.
Kim,
I looked into the product section since there seem to have been several updates since I last updated my dolibarr. I see alot of improvements that I can leverage. I do not see entries available for manufacturer and manufacturer part number in the product definition tab. I am looking for a capability to create a product, with an assigned product ref number, and assign multiple manufacturer and manufacturer part numbers to the product ref number. The example below is what I am trying to do:
Prod Ref: 111111
Manufacturer Mfr. Part number
Texas Instr. LM386
Analog Devices ADF4180
Analog Devices ADF4889
The above part numbers and manufacturers are there for example purposes and are not specifically the same component. In the final implementation the part numbers listed for a product would be equivalent parts. Hopefully this helps explain what I am looking for.
What if you had a master product, and then a product variant pr. supplier, and in the product variant you had the necessary supplier part number?
Warehousing might be difficulter, but what if when you receive a shipment from a supplier you log the receiption either only at the master product, or both at the product variants and the master product?
Hello there! I am trying to install a module but the Activation toggle is not working once the module has been installed therefore I cannot proceed. How do I go about it? Thanks.
Hi,
which Version of Dolibarr you are using? Which module you are trying to activate?
I am using the latest one. Version 22. I just had it installed the other day. I created my own module, it appeared but the toggle did not go from disable to enable. I can’t move forward from then.
but if you have created your own module you should see what is the issue.
It might be the module is not able to create the tables in the database.
The module can’t connect to the database.
The module has some permission issues.
Actually the list is endless.
Would you please check the server log and the console of your browser.
That should give at least an indication what is wrong.
Here is the console of the browser.
I am trying to click this button in the modules page but it does not activate.
Hi @Mmark2026
I will suggest you check the Dolibarr log once, and also the php error log. Also, try to enable the custom module from the module builder screen. Then check what is happening.
Thanks & Regards

I looked into the idea proposed and it might be workable. The product tab looks acceptable with the part and its variants, but I do not like that it creates a separate product page for each variant as shown below.
For me each variant is the same parent part number. The variant would be equivalent parts. I also don’t particularly like how it affects the right hand side of the main products page.
I am not sure how I will be able to part search at this time, but I have not investigated this as of yet. I don’t know why the product page doesn’t contain a manufacturer and manufacturer part number entries available.
