Manufacturing order for customized products

Hello,

Currently, I would like to depict a specific scenario in Odoo 17, but I'm stuck.

The use case involves the embellishment and printing of T-shirts and pants. A T-shirt is supplied by the manufacturer (stockable product), and the imprint (patch/flock/flex) is then created as a consumable item.

Here's how I understand the logic in Odoos Manufacturing App:

You create the fully customized product in Odoo (e.g., "Printed Shirt for Customer X") and then set up a bill of materials (BOM) for that particular product.

That would be fine, but each customer has different preferences for how the T-shirt should be printed. To represent this in Odoo, each salesperson would need to create a new product with its associated BOM during the sales conversation which leads to a lot extra effort. Is this the correct approach in Odoo to avoid deviating from the standard? We already planning importing thousands of products from catalogs and it seems wrong to create more products with each sales order. To avoid frustration in the sales team I could automate this by writing a corresponding module on my own, but I hope for a better approach.

Does anyone have experience in how to handle such scenarios in Odoo 17? I would appreciate any advice or perspective. Perhaps there's a module or approach that I haven't discovered yet.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Andre

You could consider using variants and a custom attribute would allow for customer specific input.

The apply on variant field can identify the use of component on a consolidated BoM

Hello Andre

We have a solution called Printxpand-whose front end  is in Magento and the Backend is in Odoo that  manages sales, inventory, manufacturing, purchase, and artwork approval

let us if you require a demonstration for the Printxpand

Hey Jaidepp,

thank you for the fast response.

I think the use case is little to complex for using variants, isn't it?

Maybe you can give me a small example, but the problem I see is the following:

A shirt received by the vendor is given as Shirt A. Shirt A has the following attributes, Size: XS, S, M, L and the colors: red, blue.

Now my customers walks in the store and asks for Shirt A with his companies logo on it. The logo itself is a consumable product and has the attributes position: left, right and material: flex, patch.

In the MO I'd expect a connection between Shirt A and the Logo and in the best case, I see in the MO a specific text that the logo should be "customers X logo".

My problem is that one BoM component is customer specific and the product to be produced is also customer dependent and creating every custom product would be way to much effort.

And adding additional attributes to each Shirt/Short in order to represent each customizable combination seems a little to much when it comes to variant count.

One shirt/short can have multiple logos, numbers, text on multiple positions using different materials.

Best regards,

Andre

Yes, with these many variables for a customer to choose from the number of product configuration and individual BoM definitions would be very large.

There are couple of levers that can be used to minimize creation of customized BoMs or creating products.

The variant creation mode can be set to Never and a single BoM can be defined with the field 'apply on variant' selected for raw material / component. Have updated the answer with screenshot

On MO creation, only applicable components for the product variable would be applied

Essentially there are 3 products with variables

1. Printed T-shirt (this is the product your customer is ordering). MO is created for this product / product variant
Attributes
1.Color
2.Size
3.Logo Material
4. Logo Position
5. Logo - Custom input (customer X's logo)

It is also possible to define multiple logo options

2. T-Shirt (which is procured from vendor)
Attributes
1. Color
2. Size

3. Logo
Attributes
1. Material - Flex, Patch
2. Position
3. Custom input
