Odoo 18 allows you to configure Vendor Lead Times directly within the pricelist, ensuring accurate calculation of expected delivery dates in purchase orders.

With the delivery lead time set to three days, the expected arrival date on the purchase order is scheduled three days after the order deadline.

For example, in the product configuration for Chair floor protection, there are three vendors: Aka Foster, Abigail Peterson, and Wood Corner. Aka Foster is listed first, offering a price of $5.00 per unit for a minimum quantity of 10 units.

When a product has multiple vendors, Odoo prioritizes the vendor listed at the top of the vendor list, making them the default supplier for the product. The system automatically selects this vendor for replenishment, ensuring the highest-priority vendor is chosen unless specified otherwise.

If a single vendor offers different prices for the same product, such as based on quantity breaks or other conditions, Odoo will select the lowest available price. The system evaluates the pricing structure, considering factors like the ordered quantity, and automatically chooses the most cost-effective price for the replenishment order.

In Odoo 18, vendor pricelists support discount options, allowing businesses to take advantage of promotions or bulk purchase agreements from suppliers.

When creating or editing a vendor pricelist, you can specify a discount percentage for specific products or product categories. This feature is useful for applying seasonal discounts or quantity-based promotions offered by the vendor.

This way you can manage vendor pricelists and lead times in Odoo 18. You can streamline procurement, ensure accurate pricing, and take advantage of vendor discounts by effectively managing vendor pricelists. This results in more efficient purchasing processes.
