Track goods being repared by suppliers

Using my Dolibarr PM modules
1

Hi,
I need to manage the following product flow:

  1. Send products to suppliers for repair
  2. When the goods have been repaired and are returned, checking them off the list to return them to the warehouse
  3. Keep track of how much is still being repaired at each supplier

Is there a way to manage this information using Dolibarr modules or by purchasing a third-party module?

Thanks

Hi,
I have created a module POReturn. So it actually generates a Return shipment of materials from a supplier based on the original purchase order. Print out as PDF as for the usual purchase order but as purchase order return. Next step is to implement the warehouse bookings.
As the material is already payed and belongs to the company even if returned to a supplier it needs to go to a dedicated stock to keep track of how many are at a supplier.
If goods coming back repaired from a supplier they can be booked from that warehouse into the standard warehouse.

Would this describe about what you need?

Regards,
Kim

Hi @mgribaudo ,

I think that you can track this type of movements by creating a special warehouse in your dolibarr for this purpose. Adding this module Stock transfers seems to fit your purpose and allow you to track what you need including a pdf for the transfers between warehouses.

Hi @mgribaudo

You can manage this by developing a custom module. The flow would look something like this.
Develop a “Repair Management” custom module that:

  • Let’s you create a repair order
  • Assign products and suppliers
  • Track status: Sent → Under Repair → Returned
  • Integrates with stock to reduce quantity on send and add back on return
  • Generates reports by supplier and product

Hi Saikat,
how much would such a module approximately cost?

Hi @Kim_KW1975

The cost of such a module really depends on who is developing it, their hourly rate, and the level of service and code quality they provide. Prices can vary quite a bit from one developer to another.

Since you’re also a developer and have been working with Dolibarr since 2018 :grinning_face: , and I started around 2016 :innocent: , I’m sure you already have a good sense of the development efforts and associated costs. I’ve also seen some of the great work you’ve done with Dolibarr, so I believe you can estimate it quite well, too.

@saikatkoley
Thank you for your kind feedback. I am actually more a user than a developer.
Using Dolibarr every day to run another business but not Dolibarr as a business.

Just started few minor things because there was the demand and nothing available.

I was wondering how much such a module would be approximately done by a professional.

Thanks again.
