Work Orders
To produce a flawlessly finished product, several activities are included in a
production order. All of these procedures can be specified as Work Orders when
configuring a manufacturing order in the Odoo17 Manufacturing module. Operations will be
processed by these work orders at particular work centers. Activate the Work
Orders feature from the Settings menu to enable this option in the
Manufacturing module. You can design and manage different manufacturing operations using
this feature, which should be carried out at your work centers in order to build a
product.
Additionally, you can turn on the Work Order Dependencies feature, which will
choose the sequence in which the set work orders will be completed.
The Bill of Material can be used to establish a list of the parts needed to produce a
finished product if the manufacturing of a product involves several different
components. Setting an order for work orders to be executed in order to manufacture and
assemble the components of this bill of material is known as activating work order
dependencies. This function can be turned on in each Bill of Materials'
Miscellaneous tab.
Under the Work Orders tab of the relevant manufacturing order, any operations
pertaining to that manufacturing process can be included.
You can create a work order and enter its specifics using the Add a Line button. You can
get the relevant work order by clicking the external link that is provided in the
operation line.
The tracked time for this work order will be displayed under the Time Tracking
tab along with information about the User, Duration, Start Date, End Date, and
Productivity. It displays the anticipated start date, manufacturing order, and length of
the project. You can see the components needed for this work order under the
Components tab.
You may find a separate platform to track all of these work orders from different
manufacturing orders under the Operations menu of the Manufacturing module.
Operation, Work Centre, Manufacturing Order, Product, Quantity, Scheduled Start,

For the work order, you can construct a quality sheet here. Mention the product's serial
number and then select the "Fill in Worksheet" button to add information on the
product's quality. As seen below, a pop-up window will appear as a result.
You can fill in the appropriate fields here with the Product name, Wood Texture, Length,
Date, and Responsible employee. You will receive the Summary of the quality check after
clicking the Save button.
Blocking the work order, adding a product to the scrap pile, adding a component to an
operation, adding a byproduct, sending a maintenance request, and sending a quality
alert are all possibilities on this menu. Additionally, you will receive some new tools
that will make suggestions for improving the worksheet. It offers the options to Change
the Picture, Delete This Step, Add Another Step to the Operation, and Update the Work
Order's Instructions.
Shop Floor and Barcode Scanner are the two new features that Odoo 17 brought to
manufacturing.
Thus, Shop Floor is a new module in Odoo 17. Users can handle all of the manufacturing
orders from the shop floor app by turning on the Shop Floor option in the
manufacturing settings. Then inside the manufacturing order, the users needed for the
production can be assigned.
Then go to the Shop Floor app to check how this feature works. A prompt asking
the user to choose the work center for this station will show as.soon as they launch the
Shop Floor app.
After that, the user is able to manage the production. as seen in the picture below.
Thus, select the Operations link in the Barcode module. Choose the Manufacturing
