Manufacturing & shop floor
Manufacturing (MRP) software starts from the bill of materials, generates manufacturing orders and schedules work centres, following progress to the finished product. In Odoo, manufacturing is linked to inventory and purchasing: an order consumes components, flags what to reorder and books finished goods, with no parallel spreadsheets.
MRP means material requirements planning: the system that knows what's needed to produce, when to launch it and where it stands. It manages bills of materials and routings, creates manufacturing orders and schedules them across work centres. Linked to inventory and purchasing, it aligns components, work-in-progress and finished goods in one flow.
Each step updates components and stock automatically.
Define components, quantities and work operations for each product, even across multiple levels.
The order is created from a sale, from reordering rules or manually, reserving the needed components.
Operations are scheduled across work centres with a Gantt view, highlighting loads and bottlenecks.
Operators record consumption, quantities, scrap and times from a tablet, in real time.
At order completion finished goods enter the warehouse and consumed components leave, updating stock.
The features we most often configure for manufacturing SMEs.
Multi-level BoMs with variants, operations and times for each work centre.
Create and track orders with status, reserved components and real-time availability.
Operator interface: consumption, produced quantities, scrap and operation timer.
Schedule work centres, see loads and spot bottlenecks before they stop the line.
Manage external work (subcontracting) and by-products of the same order.
MRP flags what's missing and proposes purchase or manufacturing orders to cover requirements.
What changes between planning production on Excel and having it in the suite.
| Excel and paper | Integrated MRP (Odoo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Requirements | Computed by hand, often late | Proposed by MRP from BoMs and orders |
| Components | Out of sync with the warehouse | Consumed and tracked in real time |
| Scheduling | On a whiteboard or sheet | Work-centre Gantt with loads |
| The shop floor | Progress on paper | Real-time tablet recording |
| Production costs | Hard to reconstruct | Computed from materials and times |
Manufacturing doesn't live alone: a sales order can launch a manufacturing order, which consumes components from the warehouse and, if they're missing, triggers a purchase proposal; finished goods return to the warehouse ready to ship. It's the same data shared across manufacturing, inventory, purchasing and sales, so the factory and the office speak the same language.
Those producing to order who must coordinate components, times and deliveries for each job.
Companies producing for stock that must plan batches and reorders based on demand.
Businesses with bills of materials and processing steps, including external subcontracting.
Frequently asked questions
For most SMEs an MRP integrated with inventory and purchasing is best, so requirements are computed automatically and stock stays aligned. Odoo covers BoMs, manufacturing orders, scheduling and shop floor; Gitogi configures it around your production process.
Yes. Odoo manages multi-level BoMs with variants, work-in-progress and routings across work centres.
Yes. The manufacturing order consumes components from the warehouse and, when they're missing, MRP proposes the purchase or manufacturing order to cover them.
Yes. The Gantt view shows work-centre loads and helps spot bottlenecks; fine scheduling depends on how we configure capacity and times.
