The Odoo Manufacturing app is a comprehensive solution designed to manage and streamline all aspects of the production process, from planning and scheduling to execution and quality control. It supports work orders, bill of materials (BoMs), routings, and multi-level manufacturing, making it ideal for both simple assembly and complex production workflows.
Key Features
Master production schedule
The MPS is perfect for your S&OP meeting, to align objectives of sales people and the manufacturing department.
Powerful yet simple
Although Odoo has all the features you need to deploy a modern manufacturing line, it remains very simple to use, and does not require advanced trainings for workers.
Up/down stream traceability
Track components, or manufacture in batches (lots) or serial numbers. Get a clear traceability of all operations in just a click.
Leverage by-products
Produce residual products by adding by-products to bills of materials.
IoT integrations
Connect barcode printers, automate quality measures, or setup your machine from the shop floor app, using the IoT box.
Paperless
The Shop Floor app helps streamline your manufacturing line. Through the tablet-optimized dashboard, you can organize workers, workcenters, worksheets, quality tests, and much more.
Manufacturing Use Cases
The Odoo Manufacturing app is a comprehensive solution designed to manage and streamline all aspects of the production process, from planning and scheduling to execution and quality control.
It supports work orders, bill of materials (BoMs), routings, and multi-level manufacturing, making it ideal for both simple assembly and complex production workflows.
PLM
The Odoo PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) app is a powerful solution designed to help manufacturing and engineering teams manage product development from initial design to final production. It streamlines collaboration by centralising all product-related documents, including bills of materials (BoMs), engineering change orders (ECOs), drawings, and version control, in a single, accessible workspace.
Key Features
Manage engineering changes
Managing engineering changes efficiently, Odoo PLM harnesses real-time communication via an enterprise social network—simplifying approvals, centralising discussions, and ensuring everyone receives only relevant updates.
Integrated Document Management
Integrated document management for drawings, worksheets, and quality documents—easily attach files directly to BoMs, routings, or worksheets, trigger manufacturing alerts, and manage multiple document versions effortlessly in Odoo PLM.
Smart versioning
Forget about syncing EBoM and MBoM. Odoo aligns every department on the same documents so you can track changes efficiently across multiple versions.
With Odoo PLM, you can work on several versions of the same BoM in parallel and apply only the differences to manage multiple changes.
PLM Use Cases
Rachel, a mechanical engineer at an industrial machinery manufacturer, uses the Odoo PLM app to manage the lifecycle of complex assemblies. When her team updates the design of a hydraulic pump, she creates an Engineering Change Order (ECO) to modify the Bill of Materials (BoM) and attach the latest CAD drawings. The ECO is routed through an approval workflow involving the engineering lead and quality manager, ensuring everyone is aligned before the change goes live.
Once approved, the updated BoM syncs with the Manufacturing app, and the shop floor receives the latest specifications. With full version control, Rachel can track historical revisions and avoid production errors caused by outdated documentation. The centralised access to engineering data helps reduce communication gaps and accelerates design-to-production timelines.
Purchase
The Odoo Purchase app is a comprehensive procurement management solution that streamlines the purchasing process from requisition to vendor payment. It enables businesses to manage suppliers, request quotations, issue purchase orders, track deliveries, and control supplier invoices all in one place.
Key Features

Stats that actually make sense
Customize reporting and measure supplier performance with the Purchase Analysis dashboard.
Control vendor bills
Compare the information appearing on the Purchase Order, the Vendor Bill, and the Receipt to make sure you pay the correct bill (3-way matching).
Purchase tenders
Launch purchase tenders, integrate vendor's answers in the process and compare propositions. Choose the best offer and send purchase orders easily. Use reporting ton analyse the quality of your vendors afterwards.
Purchase Use Cases
Emma, a procurement officer for a retail fashion brand, uses the Odoo Purchase app to manage restocking across multiple store locations. As inventory levels drop below predefined thresholds, the system automatically generates purchase requests based on reordering rules, pulling the best pricing from vendor price lists.
Emma reviews and confirms these requests, sending purchase orders to approved suppliers.

Quality Use Cases
Rachel, the quality assurance manager at a medical device manufacturer, uses the Odoo Quality app to enforce strict compliance with industry standards. She defines quality control points at key stages of the production process—such as incoming inspections for raw materials, in-process checks during assembly, and final inspections before packaging.
When components arrive from suppliers, quality inspectors are automatically prompted to perform measurements and record results in the system. If any item fails to meet specifications, Rachel logs a non-conformity, initiates a corrective action, and links it to the supplier’s record for future evaluation.
