Inventory & Manufacturing

Manufacturing

✳︎ Manufacturing orders, BOMs and work centers

Plan and run production with bills of materials, routings and work center capacity. Shop-floor tablets guide operators step by step, component consumption updates stock in real time, and cost of every manufacturing order is computed automatically.

Why it matters

A warehouse has a special talent: it hides the truth. Stock exists in a spreadsheet but not on the shelf, or on the shelf but not in the system, and the difference costs real money at the worst possible moment. Manufacturing is built on double-entry stock moves - the same discipline accounting uses for money, applied to goods. Every unit has a paper trail: where it came from, where it sits, where it went.

Production runs on data, not on the foreman’s memory.

On the floor this looks refreshingly boring. A scanner beeps, a screen says which shelf, a pallet leaves with the right batch and the earliest expiry first. Nobody asks “how much do we actually have?” because the answer is on every phone in the building - live, and correct.

Good to know

Manufacturing in Odoo: one module, one shared database, zero double entry.

Manufacturing is one of the standard Odoo applications in the Inventory & Manufacturing family. Like every Odoo module, it runs on the same database as CRM, sales, inventory and accounting - information entered once is available everywhere, with no connectors, no sync jobs and no manual exports. Companies choose Odoo Manufacturing to replace a patchwork of disconnected tools with one integrated system that is easier to maintain and cheaper to own.

In daily work, teams rely on Manufacturing for: multi-level bills of materials and routings; work center scheduling and capacity planning; shop-floor terminal for operators; real production costs per order. Because the module is part of the Odoo platform, every action leaves a clean trail for reporting - managers watch live dashboards instead of assembling spreadsheets, and the numbers stay consistent across departments and companies.

ERP SWISS is an official Odoo partner. We implement and configure Manufacturing for companies in Switzerland, France, Germany, the EU and Armenia - including localization, data migration, staff training and long-term support. A typical implementation takes weeks, not months: we configure the standard module to your processes first, and add custom development only where it truly pays off.
