Manufacturing workflows

Odoo Manufacturing workflows cover the day-to-day situations that come up once production is running, beyond the basic setup of a bill of materials. They help production planners and shop floor staff handle scheduling, exceptions and traceability as orders move through the factory.

What this section covers

These workflows include forecasting and scheduling production with the master production schedule, managing work centre time off, recording scrap during manufacturing, handling manufacturing backorders, splitting or merging manufacturing orders, unbuilding finished products back into components, tracking by-products created alongside the main product, supporting continuous improvement, and manufacturing with lots and serial numbers for full traceability.

Topics covered in this knowledge base

This section covers the master production schedule, work centre time off, scrap during manufacturing, manufacturing backorders, splitting and merging manufacturing orders, unbuild orders, by-products, continuous product improvement, and manufacturing with lots and serial numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of production issues does this section cover?

Day-to-day manufacturing situations such as scrap, backorders, splitting or merging orders, unbuilding products and tracking by-products.

Do I need the Master Production Schedule for every business?

No, it is a manual planning tool best suited to businesses forecasting demand ahead of time; it should not be combined with reordering rules.
