Odoo Manufacturing
Complete MRP solution with bills of materials, work orders, and production planning for discrete and process manufacturing.
MRP That Runs Your Shop Floor, Not Just Your Paperwork
Odoo Manufacturing (MRP) plans and tracks production from the bill of materials to the finished product on the shelf. Manufacturing orders consume components, capture labor and scrap, and post finished goods into stock — while cost accounting happens silently in the background. It handles discrete assembly, process manufacturing, and everything in between.
Multi-level bills of materials describe how products are really built: sub-assemblies, phantom BOMs that explode into their components, product variants, and by-products that return value to stock. Kits, subcontracted operations, and make-to-order flows are configured rather than customized, so changes to your product structure never require a developer.
For SMEs, the point of Odoo MRP is integration: purchasing sees component requirements the moment a production order is planned, the warehouse reserves materials automatically, and sales sees realistic promise dates. Aerya implements Odoo Manufacturing for American factories and workshops that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not want the cost — or rigidity — of a heavyweight MES.
End-to-End Manufacturing
Bills of Materials
Multi-level BOMs with variants, phantom components, and by-product tracking.
Work Orders
Track production on the shop floor with tablet-friendly interfaces.
Production Planning
Gantt scheduling with capacity planning and workload balancing.
Quality Checks
In-process quality control points with pass/fail tracking.
Equipment Maintenance
Preventive and corrective maintenance scheduling for machines.
Subcontracting
Manage outsourced manufacturing with component shipping and receipt.
From Bill of Materials to Finished Goods
The production cycle in Odoo Manufacturing, from product engineering to cost analysis.
Model your products with BOMs
Define multi-level bills of materials with operations, work centers, and expected durations. Engineering changes stay controlled through disciplined BOM revisions — or full PLM in Enterprise.
Plan from demand
Confirmed sales orders, forecasts, and reordering rules generate manufacturing orders with start dates scheduled backward from delivery commitments — and component purchases are triggered with supplier lead times respected.
Release orders and reserve materials
When an order is released, components are reserved from stock; shortages appear immediately, so planners chase the true bottleneck instead of yesterday's list.
Execute on the shop floor
Operators register production step by step: quantities produced, scrap and its reason, time spent per operation. Quality checkpoints can block progression until measurements pass.
Know your real costs
Each finished order compares planned versus actual component and labor cost, feeding inventory valuation and margin analysis — so pricing decisions rest on data, not gut feeling.

Works With Other Modules
This module integrates seamlessly with other Odoo applications to create a unified business system.
Manufacturing in Community vs Enterprise
Community runs many factories on its own; Enterprise matters most on the shop-floor screens.
Community Edition
Community includes manufacturing orders, unlimited multi-level BOMs, subcontracting, scrap management, and full integration with inventory and purchasing — enough to run many workshops and factories at zero license cost. The OCA's manufacture repository adds scheduling depth where needed.
Enterprise Edition
Enterprise adds work orders with the tablet-friendly shop-floor terminal, work-center control panels, the Master Production Schedule (MPS), PLM for engineering change management, quality worksheets, and IoT connectivity. Plants that need per-operation tracking on screens at each work center usually justify Enterprise here.
