Odoo Manufacturing connects sales orders, bills of materials, work orders, costing and quality checks, so every product is planned, built, inspected and costed in one system. For factories that make to order, this means faster quotes, fewer delays and a true cost per order.
Key takeaways
- Make-to-order (MTO) creates production and purchase orders directly from a confirmed sale.
- Odoo calculates real cost from materials, labour and machine time.
- Quality control points stop defects before products reach customers.
- NEXA’s team brings hands-on factory experience to every implementation.
Make-to-order manufacturing in Odoo
When a customer confirms an order, Odoo checks stock and automatically creates the manufacturing order and any purchase orders for missing components. Planners see capacity per work centre and can promise realistic delivery dates.
Cost management and analysis
- Material cost from the bill of materials and actual consumption.
- Labour and machine cost from work-order time.
- Overheads allocated per work centre.
- Actual vs standard cost reports per product and order.
Quality management in Odoo
Odoo Quality adds control points at receipt, during production and before delivery. Operators record measurements, pass or fail results and photos on a tablet, and failed checks create quality alerts that are tracked until they are closed.
