Odoo for Manufacturing
Connect Demand, Materials, Production and Fulfillment.
Manufacturing problems rarely stay inside one department. AAKoryx helps manufacturers design connected Odoo workflows across planning, materials, production, inventory, fulfillment and finance.
How a production order moves
Sales
Can we make it by the date we promise?
Planning & purchasing
Do we have what production needs?
Production
What is being made, where, in what sequence?
Quality
Did it pass — and which lot was it?
Warehouse & shipping
Where is it, and can we ship it?
Finance
What did it actually cost to make?
One order, six teams — and one set of records when the flow is designed end to end.
Between departments
Sales, planning, the shop floor and finance — each with its own version of the plan.
Manufacturing problems rarely stay inside one department. Most start in the handoffs: an order promised without materials, a work order started without components, a cost known only after the job is done.
Sales
When the flow is disconnected
Commits ship dates without seeing material availability or production capacity.
When it runs from one set of records
Commits dates against component availability and what production has planned.
Planning & purchasing
When the flow is disconnected
Plans in a spreadsheet; shortages surface on the shop floor.
When it runs from one set of records
Plans from bills of materials and open orders, so shortages show up at planning, not at the work center.
Production
When the flow is disconnected
Starts work from paper; components consumed are recorded late, or not at all.
When it runs from one set of records
Runs manufacturing and work orders by work center, consuming components as the work happens.
Quality
When the flow is disconnected
Records checks on paper, separate from the lot and the order.
When it runs from one set of records
Records quality checks at receipt and during operations, against the lot and the order.
Warehouse & shipping
When the flow is disconnected
Counts, lots and reservations drift from what the system shows.
When it runs from one set of records
Moves components, lots and finished goods as production completes, ready to deliver.
Finance
When the flow is disconnected
Estimates product cost after the fact.
When it runs from one set of records
Measures cost from the materials and operations recorded on each manufacturing order.

The manufacturing operating model
One flow, five questions — and the disciplines that meet it.
Each stage answers a question the business asks every day. Odoo can answer them from one set of records when the flow is designed as a whole.
Connects to: Purchasing
Purchase orders and receipts replenish components.
Connects to: Quality
Quality checks at receipt and during operations.
Connects to: Maintenance
Preventive maintenance keeps work centers available.
Across every stage
Finance
Valuation, product cost and invoicing follow the physical flow — so cost is measured, not estimated after the fact.

Operational challenges
Recognize any of these?
They usually start where one department’s system stops and the next one’s spreadsheet begins.
- 01
Production starts before materials are confirmed.
Shortages surface on the shop floor instead of at planning, because availability isn’t checked against bills of materials and open orders.
- 02
The system and the shelf disagree.
Stock moves aren’t recorded as work happens, so counts, reservations and valuation drift apart.
- 03
Product cost is known after the fact.
Materials, labor and overhead aren’t tied to manufacturing orders, so cost is estimated rather than measured.
- 04
Traceability depends on paperwork.
Lots and serial numbers aren’t captured through receiving, production and shipping.
- 05
Sales commits dates production can’t see.
Order promises aren’t connected to material availability and production capacity.
