I would like to place orders with my subcontractor to 'prepare' some semi-finished products to keep in them in the subcontractors stock for later use in finished products.


As we are talking about a subcontractor there is always a PO ... and a PO has a 'deliver to' field which takes in an operation type of type 'receipt' ... But i don't want an explicit receipt with a code and everything, that i need to validate,  i want it to stay in the stock of the subcontractor. 


How can i place an order with a subcontractor and keep the product at this stock ?

An important question would be: When to you pay for products manufactured?  

You can: Create a location for stock that got an external adress.  If I remember correctly: Define it under Partner location/Vendors/Vendor name. If you set Location type as Internal location, the stock will be yours.  And normally you will then pay after goods receipt. 

If you define it as a vendor location, the stock will still belong to the vendor.  I think. I have not tested. But I did it the other way around, that we had stock at customer location.

So you can transfer or make goods receipt to any location, and set up routes to direct the flow. And you can set up reordering rules to fill up your stock.

I think this blog might be helpfull: https://www.cybrosys.com/blog/location-types-odoo-13

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Yes as this is a subcontractor i created an internal location for the Vendor.
We own the raw materials and also the semi products. So we only pay for the operations the subcontractor performs, at the moment we order those.

The main problem is that i cannot place a purchase order without an associated 'receipt' operation-type.
For now i created a new operation type 'keep at subcontractor' that has this internal location as default destination. But still ... it creates this useless transfer.

I have not implemented subcontracting. But I did a very simple test with vendor location and goods receipt. It is in V14, but should work also in V15. When I define the vendor location in the goods receipt, it show me the stock. Here is a link to some screenshots. I put hem on Google disk.
