Odoo Purchase MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (7)
These 7 tools become available when you connect Odoo Purchase to VS Code Copilot via MCP:
odoo_confirm_purchase_order
order, transitioning from "draft" to "purchase" state. This locks the order, notifies the vendor, and creates an incoming receipt (stock.picking) for warehouse processing. Use when the user approves a vendor quote or wants to place the order. Confirm a draft RFQ, converting it into a confirmed purchase order and triggering receipt creation
odoo_create_purchase_order
order in "draft" state (an RFQ). The partnerId must be an existing vendor (res.partner with supplier_rank > 0) — use odoo_search_vendors to find vendor IDs. Lines must be a JSON array: [{"product_id": <id>, "product_qty": <qty>, "price_unit": <cost>}]. Each line also gets an auto-generated description. Create a new purchase order (as a draft RFQ) for a vendor with product lines, quantities, and prices
odoo_get_po_lines
order.line records for the given PO. Returns each line with product name, ordered quantity, unit cost, subtotal, and planned delivery date. Use to inspect what is being purchased, verify pricing, or check delivery schedules per line item. Get the individual line items of a purchase order showing products, quantities, costs, and expected delivery dates
odoo_get_purchase_order
order with all key fields. Use after listing POs to drill into a specific order for vendor details, amounts, and expected receipt dates. Get the complete details of a specific purchase order by its numeric ID
odoo_list_purchase_orders
order records ordered by creation date. Returns PO number, vendor name, state (draft/sent/purchase/done/cancel), total and untaxed amounts, responsible buyer, expected receipt date, and order date. Filter by state to see only draft RFQs, confirmed POs, or completed orders. Use when the user asks about procurement activity, pending orders, or vendor purchases. List purchase orders in Odoo with vendor, amounts, buyer, and current processing status
odoo_list_rfqs
order records in "draft" state only. These are RFQs that need vendor pricing, negotiation, or approval before being confirmed. Use when the user asks specifically about pending RFQs, quotes from vendors, or procurement requests awaiting approval. List all Requests for Quotation (draft purchase orders) that have not yet been confirmed to vendors
odoo_search_vendors
partner records where supplier_rank > 0 — these are partners flagged as vendors/suppliers. Returns vendor name, email, phone, city, and country. Use to find vendor IDs before creating purchase orders, or when the user asks about supplier information. Search for vendors and suppliers in Odoo by name, returning contact details and location
