Are you looking to optimize your business processes? The Sales and Manufacturing apps integration in Odoo offers powerful solutions. This post explores how Manufacturing Orders (MOs) automatically fulfill product needs, focusing on the Replenish on Order (MTO) route and reordering rules.
Unleashing the Power of MTO Routes
The MTO route enables seamless coordination between sales and production. Here’s how to set it up:
- First, navigate to the Inventory app and unarchive the MTO route:
- Click on Configuration > Routes
- Use the filter to show archived routes
- Select “Replenish on Order (MTO)” and unarchive it
2. Next, configure your product:
- Ensure “Can be Sold” is enabled
- On the Inventory tab, activate both “Manufacture” and “MTO” options
3. Don’t forget the Bill of Materials (BOM):
- Create a BOM for your product to specify manufacturing details
Now, when you confirm a sales order, Odoo automatically generates an MO. This process reserves the product specifically for that order, ensuring efficient fulfillment.
Mastering Reordering Rules for Manufacturing
Alternatively, you can use reordering rules to trigger production. Here’s the process:
- Adjust your product settings:
- Disable the MTO option on the Inventory tab
2. Create a new reordering rule:
- Click on the “Reordering Rules” smart button
- Set the route to “Manufacture”
- Configure minimum and maximum quantities (e.g., 0 for both)
- Specify the “To Order” quantity (e.g., 1)
This setup creates an MO when stock levels drop below the minimum. Unlike the MTO route, products manufactured this way aren’t reserved for specific orders.
Comparing MTO and Reordering Rule Workflows
Both methods offer unique advantages:
- MTO Route:
- Directly links MOs to sales orders
- Reserves products for specific customers
- Always creates an MO, even with available stock
- Reordering Rules:
- Offers more flexible inventory management
- Allows for batch production
- Products can fulfill any order
Choose the method that best suits your business needs. Remember, you can even combine both approaches for different products or scenarios.
