When planning manufacturing orders, we expect that the lead times of raw materials would be

taken into consideration when procuring materials, however it seems that it immediately creates
RFQs for materials whether theyre created tomorrow or next year. We are on v10 online (Odoo
10.saas~14+e).

This is obviously unworkable, as it drastically increases the amount of raw materials on hand. It also
isnt an option for us to schedule less into the future, as some of our raw materials have long lead
times (2 months +).

It also isnt an option to just leave the RFQ until its required, as it consolidates the requirements for
short term with the long term.

Finally, the master production schedule doesnt seem to be an option, as the MPS function doesnt
give us the scheduling control we require for manufacturing schedule.

What are the steps to reproduce issue?

Create new manufactured product (product A)

Add BoM and routing to Product A
Create new part (Product B), assign Buy & Make to Order routes, and add to BoM (add
vendor etc to ensure MTO route works)
Create manufacturing orders for Product A, with date_planned_start for 2 months in the
future

What is the current behavior that you observe?

An RFQ is generated immediately for delivery of raw materials

What would be your expected behavior in this case?

The scheduler should wait until raw materials are required before procuring them. We need
to schedule manufacturing at least 2 months in advance due to some long lead time items,
however this causes all raw materials to be ordered.

Suggested Solution

Every combination of routes, procurement rules, and reorder rules has been tried without success.
Also Odoo support and partner support cant help. It seems to be by design, however I cant believe
that such a fundamental part of MRP would be missing. Hopefully this can be done with
configuration only.

If it cannot be done by configuration, a potential solution would be to customise the stock.move

module to change status to draft for all stock moves created by MOs, and wait until it gets within
product lead time before changing back to confirmed. This should prevent procurements and RFQs
being triggered prematurely.

Any other workarounds/suggestions welcome.
