This document discusses new features in Advanced Manufacturing Planning in Odoo. It introduces updates to the Master Production Schedule (MPS) to make it more flexible and detailed. It also covers flexible bills of materials that allow adjusting consumed quantities, alternative work centers that automatically switch production between busy work centers, and new capabilities for planning manufacturing orders with a Gantt view and canceling orders in progress. The presentation concludes with a demo and Q&A section.

● Tool that allow you to do a real follow-up of your
replenishment
● Integrated with Odoo Apps
● Supports Multi-Warehouse

8. Master Production Schedule (MPS)
You can add new products directly
in the MPS.
You’ll have to define a Safety Stock
Target, a minimum and a maximum
to replenish.
You can also decide the
information you make to
make appear on your MPS
via the “Rows” menu.

9. Master Production Schedule (MPS)
The cells can have different colors :
● Green: quantity of products which should be replenished to reach the expected
safety stock considering the demand forecast and the indirect demand forecast.
● Grey: replenishment order has already been generated and its quantity still
matches current data.
● Red: replenishment order has already been generated and its quantity was too
high considering current data.
● Orange: replenishment order has already been generated and its quantity was too
low considering current data.

10. Flexible Bills of Materials (BoMs)
First of all, you need to
create a Bill of Materials
with the field Consumption
set as “Flexible”

11. Flexible Bills of Materials (BoMs)
Second step is to
create a Quality
Control Point with
the field “Type” set
as “Register
Consumed
Materials”. You’ll
have to define a
product to register
and an operation in
your routing to
register the products.

12. Flexible Bills of Materials (BoMs)
Once you have reached the Control Point in your Manufacturing Workflow, the
button ‘Continue Consumption’ will appear. There you can set the actual quantity
consumed of the component set on your Control point.

13. Flexible Bills of Materials (BoMs)
You’ll find the
information about your
products’ consumption
in the Manufacturing
Order with a line in
Orange if you
consumed more than
expected during your
Work Orders

14. Alternative Work Centers
It is possible to set Alternative Work Centers to your production. That means that if one is busy at the
moment you want to plan your production, Odoo will automatically switch production to the other one.
To do so, you have to go the Configuration of a Work Center and set an “Alternative Work Center” and
decide which one(s) you want to have.

15. Alternative Work Centers
If the normal workcenter is busy at the time, the routing will automatically
change to manufacture in the Alternative Work Center.

16. Planification of Manufacturing Orders
You can set a Planned date
to know when you’ll
effectively do this
Manufacturing Order with a
time when you start and
when it’ll be over.

17. Planification of Manufacturing Orders
You can see the
Work Orders
planned with a
Gantt view.
You can also have a look at the
“Calendar” view of the Manufacturing
Orders

18. Easy cancelation of Manufacturing Orders
It is possible to cancel a
Manufacturing Order
even when you’re in the
middle of the production
of a Work Order.

19. Google Slide Integration
Google Slides integration
allows you to modify the
instructions directly on
Google Drive to have the
information on your Odoo
database
