Odoo Purchase: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Purchase runs procurement from requests to bills: RFQs, vendor pricelists, blanket orders and three-way matching against receipts, driven automatically by reordering rules and MRP.
The mechanics that pay are vendor lead times and agreement types — set correctly, purchasing becomes exception handling instead of order typing.
