Odoo for Manufacturing: BOMs, Work Orders and Planning

How manufacturers run production in Odoo: bills of materials, work centres, work orders, MRP planning, quality checks and costing.

Bills of materials

A bill of materials lists the components and quantities for each finished product. Odoo supports multi-level BOMs, variants, by-products and kits.

Work centres and work orders

Each machine or line becomes a work centre with capacity and cost per hour. Manufacturing orders split into work orders that operators start and finish on a tablet.

Planning with MRP

  • Reordering rules create production and purchase orders automatically
  • The planning view shows the load on every work centre
  • Make-to-order links production to the sales order
  • Component shortages show before production starts

Quality and costing

Quality checks stop bad batches before they reach stock. Real material and labour cost is posted to accounting, so you see true margin per product.
