| 6 | +============ |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +There are two basic ways to manage manufacturing in Odoo. The first way |
| 9 | +manages work with one document only. This document is the |
| 10 | +**manufacturing order**. The second way uses additional documents to |
| 11 | +give you more precise control over the manufacturing process. In this |
| 12 | +way, **Manufacturing orders** are divided into one or more steps |
| 13 | +defined by **work orders**, performed in an order defined by |
| 14 | +**routings**. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +How to manage manufacturing without routings |
| 17 | +============================================ |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +You will most likely use manufacturing orders without routings if all |
| 20 | +the work to produce your product is performed in one place, by one |
| 21 | +person, in one step, and/or you do not need the level of granular |
| 22 | +control afforded by work orders and routings. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Managing your operations in this way is the default behavior in Odoo. |
| 25 | +There are two basic phases from planning to production: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +1. Create manufacturing orders |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +2. Record Production |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +How to manage manufacturing with routings and work orders |
| 32 | +========================================================= |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +To use work orders and routings, you will need to enable the option |
| 35 | +**Manage production by work orders** From |
| 36 | +:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. You will then be able to add |
| 37 | +routings to bills of materials, and configure some additional related |
| 38 | +fields. You will also be able to create **work centers**, the |
| 39 | +locations at which work orders are performed. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +When manufacturing with routings and work orders, each work order is |
| 42 | +scheduled individually. You will also have access to time and capacity |
| 43 | +planning, and reports on costing and efficiency on a work center level. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Manufacturing using routings can be broken down into several steps. When |
| 46 | +configuring your BoM, you will need to add a routing defining the |
| 47 | +component work orders. After planning the manufacturing order, you will |
| 48 | +have the added step of scheduling work orders. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +The workflow is thus divided into three basic phases, as follows: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +1. Create manufacturing orders |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +2. Schedule the associated work orders. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +3. Perform the scheduled work and record production. |
