Treat retail sales history as planning input and keep it separate from confirmed customer commitments. Define the product mapping, sales cutoff and handling of refunds or corrections. The planner should approve the next production quantity with context such as closures or promotions rather than letting a raw sales feed issue uncontrolled bake instructions.
Understand the decision
A hypothetical counter sells unusually many buns during a local event, while the following day the shop opens fewer hours. A point-of-sale export arrives twice overnight. The interface needs accurate history, but production still requires a deliberate decision about tomorrow’s demand and available preparation time.
Work through the requirements
- Map sold items to planning product families.
- Deduplicate sales and preserve correction events.
- Review the next bake plan against known conditions.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sales feed | Provide reconciled retail history. |
| Planning assumptions | Record events and opening changes. |
| Approved bake plan | Identify the chosen production quantity. |

Watch for this failure
Yesterday’s sales are not tomorrow’s confirmed orders. Keep the forecasting decision visible and separate from transactional imports, particularly when weather, events, opening hours or wholesale commitments materially change what the bakery should prepare.
Continue the evaluation
This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
