Hi, How to manage purchases of services linked to sales of these same services in Tryton? Is there a way to create a purchase request when confirming the sales order? Regards ---

if you have to buy them to sell them, I would make them products, not services, and use the stock management facilities like for any other product. I think that service is more for services that you provide yourself, for which stock is not managed. ---

I do not think it is a good advise to manage services as goods. I see not problem to use `sale_supply` with services but the sale will not wait for the purchase to invoice the service. At least not until [Add module to allow services to be invoiced when they are done (#9999) · Issues · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab](https://bugs.tryton.org/issue9999) is developed and the same module for purchase is created. ---

Ok, thanks, I’ll look over there. ---

At least not until [Issue 9999: Add module to allow services to be invoiced when they are done - Tryton issue tracker](https://bugs.tryton.org/issue9999) is developed and the same module for purchase is created. especially since tryton can’t yet handle a «pure service» flow gracefully until that’s developed, what’s wrong with using goods stock management to track services that you resell ? You do have order, purchase, somehow a deliverable that starts the invoicing process,… I agree that it would be better to use a pure service flow, but since it’s not there (yet), what’s the problem with bending the available facilities in the meantime ? Thanks ---

I think you answered yourself pretty well. If there is not there yet using a workarround like you suggested will not make it available faster. ---

> [@hobbes](#): > > what’s wrong with using goods stock management to track services that you resell ? Because goods have a different accounting than service (often the taxes). Also with the goods you have inventory, cost of goods, shipping cost, landed cost etc. ---
