Manufacturing Module

Work orders, BOMs, and production planning under control.

Odoo Manufacturing connects your bills of materials, work orders, and production schedules in one system. Reduce waste, hit delivery dates, and get visibility into real production cost — not estimates.

Key capabilities

What Odoo Manufacturing (MRP) does for your business.

Bills of Materials (BOMs)

Multi-level BOMs with variants, by-products, and scrap components. Version control tracks every change.

Work orders & routing

Define operations, work centres, and cycle times. Odoo schedules work orders based on capacity and due dates.

Production scheduling

Gantt-based visual scheduling. Drag and reschedule across work centres without leaving the screen.

Real-time production cost

Labour, material, and overhead costs captured against each manufacturing order. Actual vs. standard cost variance at a glance.

Quality control checkpoints

Define quality checks at any production step. Non-conformances raise alerts and can block completion until resolved.

Replenishment integration

Manufacturing orders trigger component purchase orders automatically. No manual MRP run required.

Problems we solve

Three problems every Manufacturing (MRP) deployment solves.

💡

The problem

Production managers updating a whiteboard schedule that's out of date by lunch

Odoo solution

Odoo's live production schedule reflects confirmed sales orders and component availability in real time. Changes propagate automatically — the schedule is always current.

⚡

The problem

No visibility into actual production cost until the job is closed — weeks later

Odoo solution

Every material issue and labour entry posts cost to the manufacturing order in real time. Managers see actual vs. standard variance before the job closes — not after invoicing.

🎯

The problem

Quality failures discovered at final inspection, requiring full batch rework

Odoo solution

Odoo quality checkpoints catch non-conformances at each production step. Failed checks trigger corrective actions before the next operation begins — stopping defects from compounding.

Client result

On-time delivery from 61% to 94% — without adding headcount.

A discrete manufacturer was running production off a whiteboard and an Excel schedule. Component shortages weren't visible until work orders were started, causing constant stoppages and late deliveries.

We configured Odoo MRP with automated replenishment triggers and live capacity scheduling. Component availability is now checked before production starts. On-time delivery went from 61% to 94%.
