ODOO MANUFACTURING (MRP) · MANUFACTURERS AND WORKSHOPS

Odoo for manufacturing,
from raw materials to shipping.

Multi-level bills of materials, parent and child manufacturing orders, lots, labels, prototypes, cost price: we deploy Odoo Manufacturing for companies that make their own products, and connect it to online sales, B2B and accounting. When the standard is not enough, we add OCA modules from the MRP suite, or our own.

MANUFACTURING IN ODOO

Installing the Manufacturing app
is not enough.

Many Odoo projects stop at a few manufacturing orders entered by hand. Real production is something else: semi-finished products made before the finished product, materials tracked by lot, labels printed at each stage, recipes or prototypes that evolve, and a reliable cost price to set your prices.

Odoo handles all of this, provided it is configured around the way you produce: supply routes, replenishment rules, multi-level bills of materials, routings and work centres, traceability. We start from the standard, then add only what is missing: modules from the OCA (Odoo Community Association), in particular to link parent manufacturing orders to their child orders, or Skillreso modules maintained with every version.

Production does not live on its own. An order on your online shop or B2B portal must reserve stock, trigger manufacturing when needed, then delivery and invoicing. And if your group has several companies, sales, purchases and stock between them run in a single Odoo database, with separate accounting for each company.

WHAT WE SET UP

Complex production,
run from a single tool.

  • 01

    Multi-level BoMs and child orders

    The finished product calls for its semi-finished goods: the parent manufacturing order generates its child orders, each with its components, times and work centre. OCA modules from the MRP suite keep the link between parent and children, from launch to closing.

  • 02

    Lots, traceability and labels

    Every material and finished product tracked by lot or serial number, with expiry dates if needed. Labels are printed from Odoo at the right stage with the right information. In case of a recall, you know in a few clicks which customers received which lot.
  • 03

    Prototypes and BoM versions

    New recipes and test products handled as full bills of materials: you make them, measure the cost, then move to series production without re-entering anything.
  • 04

    Real cost price

    Materials consumed, scrap, time spent per work centre: Odoo calculates the cost of every manufactured product, so you can set prices per sales channel with full knowledge.
  • 05

    Multi-company and EU VAT

    Several companies in one database, with automatic inter-company sales and purchases. Distance sales across Europe are handled with the OSS scheme (VAT One-Stop Shop), to be validated with your accountant.

FROM PRODUCTION TO SALES

Your workshop, connected
to all your sales channels.

An online, B2B or sales-agent order arrives in Odoo, reserves stock, triggers manufacturing when needed, then delivery and invoicing.

OUR METHOD

Four steps,
without stopping the workshop.

  1. Production mapping

    Products, BoMs, stages, work centres, lots, labels: we describe your production as it really runs on the shop floor.
  2. Configuration and modules

    Standard Odoo, then OCA or Skillreso modules only where they are useful.
  3. Data import and real tests

    Products, BoMs and stock imported, then complete manufacturing runs tested with your teams.
  4. Go-live and follow-up

    Supported go-live, then changes at the pace of your business.

IN THE FIELD

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The questions we are asked
before getting started.

Is Odoo suitable for a manufacturing company?

Yes. The Manufacturing (MRP) app handles bills of materials, manufacturing orders, routings and work centres, lot traceability and cost price. Properly configured, and completed with OCA modules if needed, it suits production with many stages.

What are parent and child manufacturing orders?

When a finished product contains semi-finished goods that are themselves manufactured, the order for the finished product (parent) generates the orders for the semi-finished goods (children). OCA modules from the MRP suite keep this link, so you can follow the progress and cost of the whole.

What are OCA modules?

The OCA (Odoo Community Association) publishes open-source modules reviewed and maintained by a community of integrators. For manufacturing, its MRP suite fills gaps in the standard. We install them only if your business needs them.

Do you need Odoo Enterprise for manufacturing?

Not necessarily. The Manufacturing app exists in both Community and Enterprise; Enterprise adds in particular quality control, maintenance and product lifecycle management (PLM). We price both options for your needs, and you can move to Enterprise later.

Does Odoo handle lots and expiry dates?

Yes: lot or serial number tracking of materials and finished products, expiry dates, and full traceability from supplier to customer, useful in case of a recall.

Can production be connected to a Shopify, WooCommerce or PrestaShop shop?

Yes. Our connectors synchronise orders, customers and stock with Odoo: an online order reserves stock or triggers manufacturing, and the stock shown online is your production stock.
