Supply Method
1] Product Type :
The Product Type determines how the product will be managed in stock management.
In OpenERP three distinct product types are:
(a) Stockable Product : This product is used in stock management and it will demanded in stock less or more based on it's defined reordering rule [minimum stock rule] in the system. Examples:- Computer, shoes, beg
(b) Consumable : This product is not used in stock management. once you receive it and delivery it because this type of product stock is not maintain in the system . it just like a stock of some time of duration. Examples:- Fruit, Milk, Food ...

In OpenERP two distinct procurement method are:
(a) Make to Stock : when stock is needed then the product will take from the stock, If the quantities in stock is too low to fulfill the order then it will set a quantity based on the reordering rule [minimum stock rule] in Procurement and generate purchase or manufacturing order [depends on supply method] to meet the needs of product
