            Odoo comes with powerful automated flows to plan deliveries, purchases, and maintain an up-to-date inventory. 
            In the meantime, you might not want to handle the burden of stock management or, on the opposite side,

        <h5>Immediate deliveries on order confirmation</h5>
        <p>
            This is the most straightforward approach, perfect for small renovations or quick-turnaround trades

            <li>
                On confirmation, this turns into a purchase order and create a receipt available from the smart button waiting for the delivery.

        <h5>Automated cost update (Construction Developer)</h5>
        <p>
            In some cases, suppliers may have products with heavily volatile prices.
            So that you can at best compute project costs during quoting, you need most up to date product costs.
        </p>
        <p>
            Your product costs are updated on confirmed purchase orders and vendor bills to maintain your costs up to date.
            This comes as well with the update of product vendor list accounting for new prices in product Purchase tab to capture better deals (on cost and quantity).
        </p>

        <h5>Work item procurement (Construction Developer)</h5>
        <p>
            When leveraging the work items in your quotations, you disconnect from the standard Odoo flow and pause to plan the procurement.
            Let's see how this works!
        </p>
        <p>
            <strong>How to use it:</strong>
        </p>
        <ul>
            <li>
                Build your quotation using work items products.
            </li>
            <li>
                From the sale order or project, open the Procurement view.
                Here, you see the "shopping list" of all work item components required for the project.
            </li>
        </ul>
        <div
            class="o_editor_banner user-select-none o-contenteditable-false lh-1 d-flex align-items-center alert alert-success pb-0 pt-3"

            <div class="o_editor_banner_content o-contenteditable-true w-100 px-3"
                contenteditable="true">
                <p>
                    Pro-tip leveraging the Work Breakdown Structure: Use the filters on Task Start Date to identify
                    which materials are needed for the very next phase and plan for those items specifically.
                </p>
                <p>
                    By aligning procurement with the project schedule, you avoid site congestion and ensure that 
                    upcoming tasks are never delayed due to missing components.

            </div>
        </div>

        <strong>Planning purchase and dropshipping orders</strong>
        <p>
            Select lines and hit the Purchase button to create a purchase order for those lines, or alternatively
            the Dropship button to create a dropshipping RFQ with a delivery straight to the work site.

        <p>
            When projects last months, the "site" becomes a mini-warehouse.
            This flow allows you to track exactly what is on the ground and what value is sitting at the job site.
        </p>
        <ul>
            <li>
                As materials arrive (via dropshippings or transfers), they are placed in the worksite location.
            </li>
            <li>
                Monitor your <strong>on-site inventory</strong> in real-time from the Inventory app, Operations menu, Physical Inventory view. Group by or filter on location to easily get a project insights.
            </li>
            <li>
                At the end of the project, easily retrieve a list of leftovers to transfer them back to your main warehouse.
            </li>
        </ul>

        <ul>
            <li><strong>Service Requests:</strong> Create tasks for maintenance, warranty
                interventions, or client modifications.</li>
            <li><strong>Scheduling:</strong> Assign technicians to visits and optimize their
                calendars.</li>
            <li><strong>Mobile Execution:</strong> Record time, materials used, and capture photos
                or client signatures on site.</li>
            <li><strong>Reporting &amp; Invoicing:</strong> Generate detailed intervention reports
                and invoice billable work when applicable.</li>
