Expert guide for Odoo Purchase: RFQ → PO → Receipt → Vendor Bill workflow, purchase agreements, vendor price lists, and 3-way matching.

When to use

• Setting up the purchase flow for a new Odoo instance.
• Implementing purchase order approval workflows (2-level approval).
• Configuring vendor price lists with quantity-based discounts.
• Troubleshooting billing/receipt mismatches in 3-way matching.

When not to use

• Does not cover **subcontracting purchase flows** — those require the Manufacturing module and subcontracting BoM type.
• **EDI-based order exchange** (automated PO import/export) requires custom integration — use `@odoo-edi-connector` for that.
• Vendor pricelist currency conversion depends on the active **currency rate** in Odoo; rates must be kept current for accuracy.
• The **2-level approval** is a binary threshold; more complex approval matrices (department-based, multi-tier) require custom development or the Approvals app.
