Can Odoo calculate real cost per unit?

Yes. Components, labour time and overheads are rolled into the cost of each finished product.

Does it plan purchases from production needs?

Yes. MRP creates purchase or production orders based on demand and minimum stock rules.

Can operators use a tablet?

Yes. The shop-floor app shows instructions, records time and quality checks.

Does Odoo support food production with expiry dates?

Yes. Lots, expiry dates and FEFO picking are standard, together with recipes and by-products.

Can we start with inventory and add manufacturing later?

Yes. Many clients start with Inventory, Sales and Purchase and switch on Manufacturing in a second phase without migration.

Can operators work in Georgian?

Yes. The interface, work instructions and documents can be in Georgian, Russian or English per user.

Lot and serial traceability

Quality checkpoints and alerts

Real production cost posted to accounting

Manufacturers need to know what to produce, what to buy and what each product really costs. Odoo links sales demand, bills of materials, purchasing, the shop floor, quality and accounting, so planning is based on real orders and stock, and the cost of every finished product is calculated automatically.

Bills of materials

Products, recipes and routes in one place

Describe each product with multi-level bills of materials, operations and work centres. Variants share common components, and every change is versioned, so production always follows the current specification.

Planning (MRP)

Plan production from real demand

Odoo calculates material requirements from sales orders, forecasts and minimum stock, then proposes manufacturing and purchase orders. Planners see capacity per work centre on a Gantt chart and reschedule with drag-and-drop.

Shop floor

Work orders on a tablet, not on paper

Operators open their work orders on a tablet, follow step-by-step instructions, record time and quantities, and report scrap. Managers see the progress of every order live.

Quality

Quality checks built into the process

Define quality control points at receipt, during operations or before shipment. Operators record measurements and photos; failed checks trigger alerts and corrective actions.

Control points by product and operation
Pass/fail and measurement checks
Quality alerts and root-cause tracking
Lot and serial number traceability

Maintenance

Keep equipment running

Plan preventive maintenance by time or usage, register breakdowns and track equipment availability, so production plans take downtime into account.

Costing

The real cost of every product

Material consumption, labour time and overheads flow into the cost of each finished product and into accounting automatically. Compare planned versus actual cost and see margins per product and order.
