Frequently Asked Questions
How does Odoo handle the daily fluctuation of gold and diamond prices?

When a sales order is created, the system uses the most current market rate to ensure your quotes are accurate and your profit margins are protected.

Can the system track "Labor Charges" and "Wastage" for manufacturing?
Yes. Odoo’s advanced Bill of Materials (BOM) is customized to include specific line items for craftsmanship, stone setting fees, and polishing labor. It also accounts for metal wastage percentages (shrinkage) during the casting and finishing processes, providing you with a true and precise final cost of goods sold.

How does Odoo manage unique, one-of-a-kind (non-serialized) items?
For the diamond industry, Odoo uses a robust serial and lot tracking system. Each unique stone or finished piece can be assigned a unique serial number that stores specific attributes such as GIA certification numbers, carat weight, clarity, and cut. This ensures that the exact item sold in your boutique is the one removed from your digital inventory.

Is it possible to manage subcontracting for external stone setters?
Absolutely. Odoo has a dedicated subcontracting workflow that tracks the movement of raw materials (like gold mountings and loose diamonds) to external artisans. You can monitor exactly what is at the subcontractor’s location, track their progress, and automatically add their service fees to the item's valuation upon return.

How does the system handle "Memo" or "Consignment" stock?
Odoo allows you to manage "Owner" fields on stock, making it easy to track jewelry or stones held on memo from suppliers or pieces you have sent out on consignment to other retailers. You can run reports at any time to see exactly which items are in your physical possession versus those out on approval.

Does Odoo support ring sizing and custom engraving requests?
Through the Product Configurator, you can add "Attributes" to any item. When a customer or sales rep selects a ring, they can choose the specific size or add engraving text. This information then flows directly into the manufacturing or picking order, ensuring the workshop receives the exact specifications for the order.
