Manufacturing orders define the product you wish to build, the resources that are required, and the date by which you wish to produce the product. These resources often include raw materials that are sourced using a bill of materials. A bill of materials is essentially a list of products and their quantities that are required to produce the final product.
Creating manufacturing orders
Producing the product
When it's time to produce the product, you then inform Odoo of each of the products that need to be produced, and your manufacturing order changes to a status of Complete. In a typical workflow, your raw materials are moved out of the inventory, and your finished product is added to your inventory.
