Manage order-specific preparation work from quote to delivery to margin.
Sale Elaboration Services gives wholesale food, seafood, and custom-manufacturing teams one native Odoo workflow for scaling, deboning, portioning, and packaging instructions — with cost, margin, and warehouse worksheets built in.
The problem
Products that need scaling, deboning, portioning, or marinating before they ship are the real deliverable — yet standard Sales and Inventory have no concept of order-specific elaboration. Reps retype the same prep notes every quotation, warehouse staff work from loose paper slips, and finance has no way to tell which elaborations are actually profitable.
The solution
Sale Elaboration Services adds a templated elaboration library, customer-aware defaults, cost and margin tracking, and a floor-ready prep board directly inside Sales and Inventory — so the full lifecycle, from quotation to warehouse execution to profitability reporting, runs in one native workflow.
Everything the elaboration workflow needs, built in
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Elaboration Template Library
Define reusable elaboration templates — scaling, deboning, portioning, packaging, marinating — each with multi-step routes, a reference image, a standard cost, an expected duration, and a target margin.
Elaboration Profiles
Restrict which elaborations are selectable per product so reps and warehouse staff can only apply preparations that are actually valid for what is being sold.
Customer-Product Defaults
Store each customer's preferred elaborations on the product so the right elaboration and note auto-populate the moment that customer is selected on a quotation — no repeated manual entry.
One-Click Repeat
Reapply a prior confirmed order's elaborations onto a new order with a single action, matched line-by-line by product, for fast repeat-customer fulfillment.
Cost & Margin Tracking
Every applied elaboration computes its own cost and rolls up to a per-line and per-order contribution margin, with an in-line warning banner the moment a line falls below its target margin.
Prep Board & Confirmation
A large, image-rich kanban groups every applied elaboration by status so warehouse staff can start, confirm, and track actual duration against the plan — right from the floor.
Warehouse Worksheet & Delivery Notes
Print a large-font warehouse worksheet with instructions and images for every elaboration on a picking, and automatically carry elaboration notes onto the delivery slip.
Elaboration Analytics
A dedicated analysis model with pivot and graph views breaks down elaboration volume, cost, and margin by customer, product, elaboration, and type.
Unified Configuration Home
One Elaborations app brings templates, profiles, customer defaults, and typed settings together in a single place — no more hunting through Products, Sales Configuration, and Inventory settings, and no manual system-parameter edits.
How it works
Build the library
Admins define elaboration templates with steps, images, cost, duration, and target margin, then group them into profiles per product.
Quote with elaborations
Reps attach elaborations to any order line — auto-populated from customer defaults or repeated from a prior order — and see cost and margin update instantly.
Prepare in the warehouse
Delivery validation generates the elaboration work; staff follow the prep board or printed worksheet, confirming each step and logging duration.
Track the margin
Elaboration analytics and the margin-warning banner flag underperforming elaborations before they erode profit on the next quotation.
