Install the Manufacturing Module
Click on Odoo apps on Odoo ERP and install the manufacturing module. Now, there
are two ways to produce a product with Odoo manufacturing module. Firstly,
businesses can create a manufacturing order with simple default stages and complete
the production process. Secondly, businesses can customize their work order by setting
up routing mechanisms and work center.
Create a Manufacturing Order

Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders > Create
Manufacturing Order
Fill all the necessary details on the screen that pops up:
1. Create a new product or choose a product from your existing list
2. Choose bill of materials
3. The number of finished products will be displayed in the finished product tab
4. The material consumed for the production will be displayed in the consumed
material tab
5. Click on “Check availability” to check the availability of raw materials in inventory.
Manage Production
Once a manufacturing order is created and confirmed, the process of production starts.
Odoo lists down the manufacturing orders under:
Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders
From here the manufacturers can view the status of all ongoing manufacturing orders.
Manage Production
1. Select one manufacturing order
2. Once you start production the status bar will change.
3. Confirmed > In Progress > Done
4. Click on the done option to complete the production process.
Note: If you want to update or delete any manufacturing order, then click on
Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders
Routing
Each product has its own routes. The manufacturing process is not a single-step
process, it may contain work centers and each work center has its own lead-time. The
route of each manufacturing product depends on the manufacturing process.
Businesses can either create one routing or multiple routing for different products.
1. Manufacturing > Master Data > Routings > Create
2. Fill in a name for the route
3. Click on <Add an item> to add the work centers included in the route
4. Click on <Save> and <Active>
Note: You can update or delete a routing process from Manufacturing > Master Data
> Routings
Bill of Materials (BOM)

BOM is the building block of the manufacturing process. It is a list of raw materials or
ingredients and its respective quantities required to manufacture the final goods. BOM
describes the component products, the quantity of each product and processes
required to manufacture the product. While creating a manufacturing order for a
particular product, users need to select corresponding BOM from the list.
Bill of Material
1. Manufacturing > Master Data > Bill of Materials > Create
2. Select a product from the drop-down menu
3. Go to Settings > Manufacturing Order > Product Variant to enable the product
variant option.

5. Click on <Add an Item> to add raw materials for your product
Work Center
A work center is a physical place where different manufacturing processes are carried
out. The work center details can be created with performance indices. The data can be
used to analyze efficiency and other details of each work center.
Manufacturing > Master Data > Work Centers > Create
Fill in the necessary details in each field
Work Orders
Once the manufacturing order with a specific route is created and confirmed, the
processes in the route are listed as work orders. To complete production, it is necessary
to complete all the associated processes listed in a work order.
The work order related to a manufacturing order can be accessed directly from
Manufacturing > Operations > Orders
Scrap
With the Odoo manufacturing module implementation, you can create a scrap process
at any stage of the production line. The scrap button is visible at all stages of the
production line. Click on this button to create instant scrap entry in inventory.
To create a fresh scrap entry, click on Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing
