Manufacturing - Odoo 16 Enterprise Book

Manufacturing Orders

A manufacturing order comprises various operations to get a perfectly finished product. In the Odoo Manufacturing module, you can specify all these operations as Work Orders while configuring a manufacturing order. For this, you can create manufacturing orders in Odoo. Under the Operations menu in the Manufacturing module, you can find the Manufacturing Orders option. When you click on this option, Odoo will open the list of manufacturing orders created in this module. You will get List, Kanban, Calendar, Pivot, and Graphical views for this platform.

The preview of the list shows the Reference, Scheduled Date, Product, Next Activity Source, Component Status, Quantity, UoM, Expected Duration, Real Duration, Company, and State of the manufacturing orders. The state will be shown in different colors.

The available data can be grouped based on Product, Status, Material Availability, Procurement Group, and Scheduled Date. The customization option is available in the case of both Filters and Group By options.
