Know exactly what to buy — and why
Statistical purchase recommendations for Odoo — reorder point, safety stock and EOQ computed from real demand, every number explained, scored with a confidence level, and reviewable in shadow mode before it ever touches a purchase order.
The problem
Native reorder rules require product-by-product min/max upkeep that goes stale as demand and lead times shift, so buyers swing between stockouts on fast movers and cash tied up in dead stock. Third-party "AI forecasting" apps promise a fix but hand back a bare number with no explanation, no confidence, and no proof it is right — so planners run a parallel manual process for weeks before they dare trust it.
The solution
Smart Purchase Recommendation reads your real outgoing stock moves and computes reorder point, safety stock and EOQ with transparent statistics — then shows the demand rate, lead time, safety stock and supplier constraints behind every suggested quantity. Each recommendation carries a confidence score, runs through a review worklist before any purchase order is created, and its accuracy is tracked against what actually happened.
Everything the buy decision needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Statistical reorder engine
Computes reorder point, safety stock (service-level based) and an EOQ-driven order quantity for every stockable, purchasable product — the concrete "what to buy, how much" answer native rules leave to manual upkeep.
Demand trend & variability
Reads real outgoing stock moves over a configurable lookback window and adjusts daily demand for trend and seasonality, so suggestions follow actual movement instead of a static min/max.
Buy / hold / liquidate worklist
A single prioritized kanban groups every product into reorder, hold or liquidate, colour-coded by urgency, so planners see the whole buy decision — not just the reorder half — in one screen.
Full recommendation explanation
Every recommendation carries a written explanation covering the demand rate, lead time, safety stock and supplier constraints that produced it, so a planner can defend the buy without a spreadsheet.
Confidence scoring
Each suggestion is scored from history depth, demand variability and available supplier data, so planners know when to trust a number and when to review it — instead of a bare point value.
Supplier-aware, always actionable
Compares supplier options on landed cost, MOQ and lead time and selects automatically, so a suggested quantity is never one a supplier can't actually fulfil.
Shadow-mode review & RFQ
Recommendations move through review and approval before a draft purchase order is created — a manual override on any suggestion is always available, so the planner stays in control.
Configurable alert rules
Reorder, stockout-risk, overstock and dead-stock alert rules notify the right users automatically, so planners are pointed at what needs attention instead of hunting through lists.
Self-tracked accuracy
A daily cron compares past recommendations to what actually happened and updates each one's tracked accuracy, so the app earns credibility from your own data over time.
How it works
Generate a run
Launch a recommendation run for a warehouse with your chosen lookback window and service level; it batches every stockable, purchasable product in one pass.
Review the worklist
Open the prioritized kanban and inspect each recommendation's explanation, confidence score and supplier options before deciding.
Approve or dismiss
Approve, override the quantity, or dismiss — each recommendation moves through its own status so nothing is acted on without a human decision.
Create the purchase order
One click turns approved recommendations into a draft purchase order, and the accuracy cron later checks the result against what actually happened.

No, it runs alongside them as a separate recommendation layer. You review and approve suggestions in the worklist and create purchase orders from them directly; your existing reordering rules keep working unchanged.
