How to Use Odoo in Manufacturing: MRP, Production, and Shop Floor

Odoo manufacturing modules (MRP, work orders, work centers, and inventory) help manufacturers plan production, track materials, and manage the shop floor. Manufacturers in India, Africa, and the Middle East use Odoo in manufacturing for make-to-stock, make-to-order, and job-shop scenarios. This guide explains how to use Odoo for manufacturing and how Neonicz supports implementation and customization.

Odoo Manufacturing (MRP) Overview

Odoo MRP covers bills of materials (BOMs), work orders, work centers, and routing. You can run manufacturing in a single step or multi-step with subassemblies. Inventory integrates with purchase and sales so raw material and finished goods stay in sync. Odoo also supports byproducts and operations costing. For complex scheduling or heavy industry-specific needs, customizations or integrations may be required.

Manufacturing in India, Africa, and Middle East

In India, Odoo manufacturing is used for discrete and process manufacturing with GST-compliant reporting. In Africa, SMEs adopt Odoo for production and inventory at lower cost than traditional ERP. In the Middle East, manufacturers use Odoo for multi-company and multi-currency. Localization and compliance can be handled with standard Odoo and partner-led customization.

When to Customize

Standard Odoo MRP fits many job shops and small-to-mid manufacturers. Custom development is useful for complex BOMs, serial/lot traceability, quality checks, or integration with PLCs and shop-floor devices. Neonicz builds custom Odoo manufacturing modules and integrations for clients in India, Africa, and Middle East.
