Odoo Manufacturing Management helps manufacturers design, manufacture, and distribute products by managing bill of materials, production planning, work order execution, and finished good production. There are two ways to manage manufacturing: without routing/work orders, where all work is done in one step; and with routing/work orders, which provides more granular control by breaking production into individual work orders scheduled at work centers. The manufacturing process with routing involves: 1) creating manufacturing orders; 2) scheduling associated work orders; and 3) performing scheduled work and recording production.

Odoo Manufacturing Management helps the manufacturers to design, manufacture and
distribute products. It helps the user to handle the complexity of production, manage bill
of materials, plan for manufacturing and track work order execution and produce finished
products.
There are two basic ways to manage manufacturing in Odoo
To manage manufacturing without Routing and work order
To manage manufacturing with Routing and work orders
Manage manufacturing without routing
You will most likely use manufacturing orders without routing if all the work to produce
your product is performed in one place, by one person, in one step, and/or you do not
need the level of granular control afforded by work orders and routing.
Managing your operations in this way is the default behavior in Odoo. There are two basic
phases from planning to production:
Create manufacturing orders
Record Production
Manage manufacturing with routing and work orders
To use work orders and routing, you will need to enable option Manage production by
work orders From Configuration ‣ Settings. You will then be able to add routing to bills of
materials and configure some additional related fields. You will also be able to create
work centers, the locations at which work orders are performed.
When manufacturing with routing and work orders, each work order is scheduled
individually. You will also have access to time and capacity planning, and reports on
costing and efficiency on a work center level.
Manufacturing using routing can be broken down into several steps. When configuring
your BoM, you will need to add a routing defining the component work orders. After
planning the manufacturing order, you will have the added step of scheduling work
orders.
The workflow is thus divided into three basic phases, as follows:
Create manufacturing orders
Schedule the associated work orders.
