Hi All,

Hope someone can help.

I have a Finished Goods Product that uses Component B in it's manufacturing.

Component B uses Component A within it's manufacturing.

Component A uses a BoM of other raw material products.

Is it possible to create a Manufacturing Work order for the Finished Goods Product, and Odoo will automatically create 2x other Work Orders for Component B and Component A?

At the moment it appears as if, I need to raise 3x Manufacturing work orders manually. 

1x MO for the Finished Goods.

1x MO for Component B.

1x MO for Component A.

Hi,

In order to get Odoo to automatically create the MOs, you need to set the route on the Components to Manufacture (On product page -> Inventory -> Routes).

Once Odoo knows that the product should be manufactured, you need to let it know when to automatically make them by creating a reordering rule.

In Inventory -> Master Data -> Reordering Rules you will need to make a new reordering rule for component A and component B using the following settings:

  • Product ID: Component A/B

  • Min Qty: 0

  • Max Qty: 0

  • Qty Multiple: 1

This means that if the stock ever goes into negative, you will attempt to reorder back up to 0. As the product is a manufactured product, this is done by automatically creating a MO.

To make these reordering rules run, you will need to hit Run Scheduler in the inventory app.

I hope this helps. If you need any further help please don't hesitate to ask.

What if I add new components to already confirmed Manufacturing Order? Odoo then doesn't create a new manufacturing order for the added component, but that is what should happen. Is there a way to do it?
