To produce a flawlessly finished product, several activities are included in a production order. All of these procedures can be specified as Work Orders when configuring a manufacturing order in the Odoo18 Manufacturing module. In Odoo18, you may generate production orders to accomplish this. The Manufacturing Orders option may be found in the Manufacturing module's Operations menu. Odoo18 will open the list of manufacturing orders produced in this module when you select this option. For this platform, you can choose from List, Kanban, Calendar, Pivot, and Graphical views.
The list's preview displays information about the manufacturing orders, including the Reference, Scheduled Date, Product, Next Activity Source, Component Status, Quantity, UoM, Expected Duration, Real Duration, Company, and State. Different colours will be used to represent the state.
The following filters are available as default selections: To Do, Starred, Unbuilt, Draught, Confirmed, Planned, In Progress, To Close, Done, Canceled, Waiting, Ready, Planning Issues, Scheduled Date, and Warning. Based on Product, Status, Material Availability, Procurement Group, and Scheduled Date, the data is segmentable. Both the Filters and Group By choices come with the customization option.
By selecting the New button, a new production order can be created. The following form view will then come up.
You can enter the name of the product you want to make in the Product section. You are able to include the components needed to make a final product in the "Bill of Materials" column. Give the quantity of the product you intend to generate in the Quantity area. The Scheduled Date option allows you to choose the day you intend to begin the product's production. In the Responsible field, designate the Company and an employee who will be responsible for keeping an eye on the progress of this manufacturing order.
You can list each component needed to make this product one at a time in the Components tab by using the Add a Line button. The From field will have access to the components' locations. If you intend to outsource the manufacturing operations, then that location will be a partner location. The number of products from an inventory perspective will be displayed in the To Consume field. Mention the UoM of the individual components along with this.
The Work Orders tab can be used to organize the production activities for each work center. You can add the Operation, Work Centre, Product, Quantity, Scheduled Starting Date, and Expected Duration using the Add a Line button. The Real Duration will automatically update after you start the process and confirm the manufacturing order.
Mention the Operation Type, Components Location (where the product's components are), Finished Product Location (where the system will store the finished product), Source (the document's reference that produced this manufacturing order), and Analytic Account in the Miscellaneous tab. This analytical account will contain the operations cost and consumed items cost entries associated with this manufacturing order.
You may occasionally receive some extra products as a result of manufacture. These extra items are regarded as byproducts. You can provide information about the By-products while setting the production order for the primary product.
Click the Confirm button after providing all the information required for the manufacturing order.
After clicking confirm, Click produce all to complete manufacturing order.
The product, quantity, source location, and scrap location must all be mentioned in the pop-up box that appears. The damaged item will be transferred to the designated scrap location once you click the Validate button.
