Include Odoo's configuration and manufacturing scope
Odoo documents product attributes and variants, a sales product configurator, and variant-specific bills of materials. Identify the Sales, Inventory and Manufacturing modules your business would use. The comparison concerns how your pergola range fits that model and how a quoted selection becomes the required order and component records.
Test variants alongside made-to-measure inputs
Select roof and finish attributes, then enter a nonstandard width permitted by your catalogue. Ask each proposed workflow to show the sellable product reference, calculated component quantities and resulting quote. Where manufacturing is in scope, follow the confirmed order to its component list and compare how variant choices and measured dimensions are represented.
Decide where the catalogue is maintained
Elite Aluminum's Configurix implementation demonstrates automatic item-SKU quotations. For an Odoo-based business, request the proposed mapping between those commercial lines and Odoo product or component records. Identify which system owns attributes, dimensions, prices and manufacturing quantities, and compare the maintenance work needed when a component is replaced.
