· MODULES · MANUFACTURING
Odoo Manufacturing configured to run production properly - not just “track jobs”.
Multi-level BOMs, routings and work centres aligned to your factory layout.
Real-time WIP, consumption and completions (not end-of-day updates).
Barcode scanning and shop-floor workflows that operators will actually use.
Costing and margin visibility by product, job, customer and production run.
Connected inventory and purchasing so production doesn’t stall due to missing inputs.
BEST FITS
When production, warehouse and sales are working off different numbers.
What Odoo Manufacturing helps you fix
Most manufacturing businesses don’t have a “production software” problem - they have a flow and data problem. Odoo Manufacturing works when master data and processes are designed properly.
BOMs, variants & engineering changes
Move BOMs out of spreadsheets and into a controlled system where changes are visible and costs are traceable.
Single and multi-level BOMs that match real assemblies.
Variants by size, grade, option or configuration rules.
Version control for BOM changes (so costing stays accurate).
Alternate BOMs for different lines, plants or methods.
Shop-floor workflows & stock accuracy
Make it easy for operators to record what’s happening without turning production into admin.
Tablet-friendly work orders with clear states.
Barcode scanning for picking, issuing and completions.
Live material consumption, scrap and rework tracking.
Lot/serial traceability where it matters.
Planning & scheduling you can rely on
Move from “we think we can do it next week” to real planning based on demand, stock and capacity.
MRP aligned to your lead times and purchasing reality.
Clear priorities and dates for work orders and runs.
Make-to-stock, make-to-order or mixed-mode setups.
Work centre capacity and realistic run times.
Costing, margins & production performance
Understand which products and jobs are actually profitable - and why margins move.
Standard vs actual cost tracking.
Labour, machine time and overhead allocations.
Variance analysis across materials and efficiency.
Reporting by product line, customer and run.
Manufacturing components we typically configure
The value isn’t “turning on a module”. It’s building master data and flows that make manufacturing, warehouse, purchasing and sales operate off one live picture.
Manufacturing setup & controls
Products, UoM, variants and attribute rules
BOMs, sub-assemblies and version control
Routings, operations and work centre setup
Setup/run times aligned to reality
MRP rules and replenishment strategies
Make-to-stock vs make-to-order design
Min/max rules, safety stock and reorder points
Supplier lead times and alternates
Picking/issuing flows into production
WIP locations and movement policies
Backflushing vs manual consumption
Barcode scanning for core steps
Quality checks and inspection points
Scrap / rework workflows
Lot/serial traceability
Core dashboards and reporting packs
How we run Manufacturing projects
Manufacturing implementations fail when they’re treated like a generic software install. We start with how your team builds, stores and ships - then make the system match that reality.
1
Discovery & current-state mapping
We map key product lines, how jobs flow, where data lives today, and what’s causing delays (stock-outs, rework, scheduling guesswork or inaccurate costing).
2
Data model & production blueprint
We design products, BOMs, routings, work centres, stock moves and quality points properly - so you’re not building on shaky foundations.
3
Roll it out in stages
We start with one area of production and refine the workflows with your operators. Once it runs smoothly, we expand to the rest of the factory and tighten reporting and controls.
4
Training, handover & continuous improvement
We train the floor and office teams, set standards for master data changes, and keep improving once live (dashboards, planning rules, automation and integrations).
Do we need to replace our accounting system?
Not always. Some manufacturers keep existing accounting while Odoo runs manufacturing and inventory, then transition later once the operational backbone is stable.
Can you integrate manufacturing with ecommerce?
Yes - particularly where stock accuracy and lead times impact what customers can order online. We often connect Odoo to Magento, Shopify or other ecommerce platforms.
Will operators actually use it?
They will if it’s designed for the floor: fewer clicks, barcode scanning, and screens that show only what that station needs. We test with real operators early.
What industries do you support?
Discrete manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, engineered products, and light process manufacturing. If you build products from BOMs and need reliable stock and job costing, it’s a good fit.
Want Odoo Manufacturing implemented properly?
If production, stock and costing don’t line up today - we can help you design and implement a manufacturing backbone that your ops team can trust, and your leadership team can make decisions from.
