Odoo 14 has come up with a new manufacturing module that offers new and improved features to businesses. And here’s an article stating the benefits of this new Odoo ERP 14 for the manufacturing industry.

Every business comes with a different set of requirements and needs an effective and efficient system for business planning and management. And manufacturing businesses are no exception. Just like other industries, in manufacturing businesses as well, all expenses and processes need to be regulated and controlled for proper functioning and efficient management. The different manufacturing processes cover areas like inventories, work centres, supply chain, different work centres, etc. And all these areas need to be regulated using the right software system like Odoo ERP. An efficient and powerful software solution like version 14 of this ERP can only improve the efficiency of manufacturing businesses.

Odoo 14, an improved version of this open-source and highly scalable software, offers an enhanced and distinctive module for managing a manufacturing business. And with this module of the ERP, users can get a complete overview of all manufacturing processes and can manage the business more efficiently and effectively resulting in faster processes, automated operations, and increased productivity in less time. Tracking all operations in a manufacturing business also becomes easier. Product management along with the purchase of all raw materials and production of all finished goods can be done effortlessly with Odoo 14’s manufacturing application.

Here’s how Odoo 14 benefits manufacturing businesses.

Improved product management:

Odoo manufacturing helps users to prepare the product list maintaining different categories of the products manufactured. For instance, in a furniture manufacturing unit, you can prepare a list of different categories of the products like chairs, tables, shelves, etc. And in the complete product list, users can enter different details of the products and can even separately list the products to be supplied now and the ones that have to be supplied later on. Apart from this, you can also include or add details like the cost of the products, images, and other details as well. And the best thing is that users can manage and prepare the lists from anywhere and at any time.

Better product variant management:

The Product variant includes details like the size of the products, colour, etc. This simply means that a product can have different variants. For example, if you consider a company that manufactures shirts, you have to manage attributes like the different sizes of the shirts, colours, and the other variants as well. Now, managing multiple variants of thousands of products at a time may not be possible manually, right? Here’s when you will need software like Odoo version 14 for efficient product variant management.

Bill of material or BOM generation:

Manufacturing businesses have to manage the Bill of Materials that is BOM or the details of the materials used in the manufacturing process. The BOM features in the manufacturing module of version 14, helps users to document the materials easily and helps to keep a record of the number of materials used as well.

Serial number management:

The serial numbers help to maintain a unique number for the products. A manufacturing business manufactures thousands of products at a time and with the manufacturing module of the ERP, users can easily add as many numbers as per the number of products in a batch. Besides, users can also add product descriptions along with serial numbers.

Apart from these, the manufacturing module of Odoo version 14 also helps with flawless management of:

Production planning
Manufacturing order management
Efficient work order management
Scrap management, and more.

In other words, Odoo 14’s manufacturing module helps the users in efficiently handling the complexities of production, plan manufacturing orders, manage BOM or Bills of Materials, track work orders, manage the supply chain, and do much more. And because of these benefits, every manufacturing business must get version 14 implemented into their systems today.
