Odoo 14 book

Manufacturing order management

Odoo manufacturing module enables a user to manufacture a product in two different ways.

  • 1. A user can create a manufacturing order after following simple default stages and then complete the production
  • 2. The user can create a product by customizing the work order by setting up work centre and routing mechanisms.

Manage manufacturing in single step/ without routings

Here, the user can take a simple step- generate manufacturing orders without routings. This can be useful when the manufacturing process is limited to one place, one person and one step.

Odoo, by default, has manufacturing process without any routing.

Create a manufacturing order

Here, you can easily create manufacturing order. For this, go to Manufacturing> Operations> Manufacturing Order

odoo-manufacturing

You can either use the existing manufacturing order or create a new one by clicking CREATE button

odoo-manufacturing

The given fields are present in the Create Form

Product: The name of the product

Quantity: Choose the Quantity to produce.

BoM: You can choose Bill of Material from the list or create a new one.

Scheduled Date: The user can set a deadline for completing the production.

Responsible: The persons who is responsible for this manufacturing order.

After filling all fields click CONFIRM button

Here, Components Tab show the product, unit of measure and products to consume

By Products tab will show the number of by-products.

Work Order tab gives details about operation, work centre, scheduled start date, expected end date, real duration and status of the order

Miscellaneous Tab helps to get details about operation type, Components Location and Finished Product Location.

Here, the user can Confirm the order by clicking Confirm.

After Confirming, a user can Click “Check availability” to see the availability of raw materials in the inventory. The availability can be viewed at the Reserved Tab. The availability will be shown in red if the raw material is unavailable. If there is sufficient stock in the inventory then it will be shown in black.

AS Odoo offers negative inventory support, the user will be able to start production even though the raw material is not available. The process can be started by Clicking “Mark as done”.

Click “Mark as Done” to complete the production process.

Now you can see the status bar changes from Confirm to Done

Here you can also get the traceability report. This report can also be printed.

  • Product Moves
  • Stock Valuation
  • Cost Analysis

Manage manufacturing with routings and work centers

As we mentioned earlier, Odoo also enables manufacturing with routing. Compared to simple step method, manufacturing with routing and work centre can be considered advanced and multi-stepped. The advanced method facilitates the configuration of detailed manufacturing process including the setting up of Work centers, Routing and Work Order management

A user can enable this feature. For this, go to Manufacturing ->Configuration -> Settings and activate Work Orders feature under Operations Menu.

Then click SAVE

After this, the user can create a new manufacturing order in the following steps.

Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Order > Create

Click CREATE here, you can fill the forms as did earlier.

Choose a product from the list or create a new product

Fix the Quantity to produce.

Select Bill of Material

Now, add routings to Work orders and configure the operations planned at different work centers. The Work centers are the locations where the manufacturing process takes place. ‘Routing’ gets auto-filled when you choose the BoM.

The user can also add the person Responsible for this manufacturing order.

Miscellaneous tab will show you the operation type, the location where the system stocks the raw material and the location where the system will stock the finished products.

Then Confirm the action.

Here you can see two buttons Start and Block. These buttons can be used for starting or blocking the process. The status of the process could also be viewed here.

Now, on clicking Check availability the user can see the availability of raw materials in inventory. If it is green, that means the inventory has reserve of raw material for production. If it is in Red the inventory does not have raw material. Here, a user can replenish the stock by clicking on the available stock.

There you will get a new window that will help you to get a FORECAST REPORT.

Replenish

The user can use the replenish tab to Replenish the stock

Here, you have to enter all required fields and confirm the act.
