Manufacturing

Manufacturing in Odoo touches stock, cost and planning at the same time, so a small mistake in one place shows up in all three. This category explains how the MRP side really works: bills of materials and kits, work centers and capacity, and the choice between make-to-order and make-to-stock.

You will also find guides on tracing which components went into which finished product, booking finished goods into stock without breaking the valuation, outsourcing a production step through subcontracting, quality checks before goods ship, and preventive maintenance for your machines. The posts help production managers, planners and owners of manufacturing companies who want Odoo to reflect what actually happens on the floor, from the first component to the finished product on the shelf.
