Odoo · Manufacturing
Your production numbers match your stock.
Bills of materials, work orders, and job work linked to stock, so what the floor produces and what the books say finally agree.

If this is your shop floor
Material left for job work and disappeared.
Job work material is off the books
Once it leaves for powder coating or machining it stops appearing anywhere, and only reappears if someone remembers to record the return.
Costing is an estimate
The price is set on last year’s material rate plus a guess at labour. Nobody knows the real cost of the unit that shipped yesterday.
Production and stock never tie out
The floor says it produced fifty. Stores has forty-six. The difference is scrap, or a recording gap, and nobody can tell which.
The BOM lives in one person’s head
The written recipe is out of date, so the accurate version is whatever the senior operator does.
What you get
From bill of materials to finished goods.
Multi-level bills of materials
Sub-assemblies, scrap and by-products included, so the recipe on screen matches what the floor actually consumes.
Work orders that move stock
Starting an order consumes raw material and producing it adds finished goods. Stock updates as work happens, not at month-end.
Job work you can track
Material sent to a job worker stays visible as your stock until it returns, so nothing disappears off the books in between.
Real cost per unit
Material and machine time roll into the finished item, so you price from actual cost instead of an estimate.
From order to finished goods
Including the part that leaves your factory.
Manufacturing order
Raised against a bill of materials, with component availability checked before the floor starts.
Material issued
Components leave stores against the order, so consumption is recorded as it happens rather than counted later.
Job work out and back
Material at a job worker stays on your books at their location, and the return is received against the same order.
Finished goods received
Output is added to stock with material and operation cost rolled in, so the unit cost is real.
How we implement it
How we set up manufacturing.
Replaces
Start with one product line
We get one bill of materials, its routing and its cost right, and prove the numbers before touching the full catalogue.
Model the floor as it runs
Work centres, operation sequence and capacity as they actually are, including work sent to outside job workers.
Roll out the same pattern
Once the first line reconciles against your own costing, the rest of the products follow the proven structure.
Questions
Manufacturing questions we get first.
We send work to job workers. Is that supported?
Yes. Material issued to a job worker stays tracked as your stock at their location, and returns are received against the same order.
Do we have to set up every product at once?
No. We start with one line, prove the costing reconciles with your own figures, then extend the same structure. It keeps the risk small.
How is cost per unit calculated?
Material consumed and time booked at each work centre roll into the finished item, so the cost reflects what was actually used.
What about scrap and rework?
Both are recorded against the order rather than written off quietly, so the yield you see is the yield you actually got.
