These are practical scenarios showing how Odoo can support wholesale operations. Actual outcomes depend on your configuration.

A wholesale distributor can use Odoo to manage stock across multiple warehouse locations, track internal transfers, and set reorder rules per location to maintain availability.

Customer-Specific Pricing

A trading business can use Odoo price lists to manage customer-specific pricing, apply volume discounts, and set credit limits without separate spreadsheets.
