It covers Bills of Materials (BoM), Work Centers, routing operations, production order lifecycle, and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) runs to ensure you never run short of materials. ## When to Use This Skill - Creating or structuring Bills of Materials for finished goods. - Setting up Work Centers with capacity and efficiency settings. - Running an MRP to automatically generate purchase and production orders from demand. - Troubleshooting production order discrepancies or component availability issues. ## How It Works 1. **Activate**: Mention `@odoo-manufacturing-advisor` and describe your manufacturing scenario. 2. **Configure**: Receive step-by-step instructions for BoM setup, routing, and MRP configuration. 3. **Plan**: Get guidance on running MRP and interpreting procurement messages. ## Examples ### Example 1: Create a Bill of Materials ```text Menu: Manufacturing → Products → Bills of Materials → New Product: Finished Widget v2 BoM Type: Manufacture This Product Quantity: 1 (produce 1 unit per BoM) Components Tab: - Raw Plastic Sheet | Qty: 0.5 | Unit: kg - Steel Bolt M6 | Qty: 4 | Unit: Units - Rubber Gasket | Qty: 1 | Unit: Units Operations Tab (requires "Work Orders" enabled in MFG Settings): - Operation: Injection Molding | Work Center: Press A | Duration: 30 min - Operation: Assembly | Work Center: Line 1 | Duration: 15 min ``` > **BoM Types explained:** > > - **Manufacture This Product** — standard production BoM, creates a Manufacturing Order > - **Kit** — sold as a bundle; components are delivered separately (no MO created) > - **Subcontracting** — components are sent to a subcontractor who returns the finished product ### Example 2: Configure a Work Center ```text Menu: Manufacturing → Configuration → Work Centers → New Work Center: CNC Machine 1 Working Hours: Standard 40h/week Time Efficiency: 85% (machine downtime factored in; 85% = 34 effective hrs/week) Capacity: 2 (can run 2 production operations simultaneously) OEE Target: 90% (Overall Equipment Effectiveness KPI target) Costs per Hour: $75.00 (used for manufacturing cost reporting) ``` ### Example 3: Run the MRP Scheduler ```text The MRP scheduler runs automatically via a daily cron job. To trigger it manually: Menu: Inventory → Operations → Replenishment → Run Scheduler (or Manufacturing → Planning → Replenishment in some versions) After running, review procurement exceptions: Menu: Inventory → Operations → Replenishment Message Types: "Replenish" — Stock is below minimum; needs a PO or MO "Reschedule" — An order's scheduled date conflicts with demand "Cancel" — Demand no longer exists; the order can be cancelled ``` ## Best Practices - ✅ **Do:** Enable **Work Orders** in Manufacturing Settings to use routing and time-tracking per operation. - ✅ **Do:** Use **BoM with variants** (via product attributes) for products that come in multiple configurations (color, size, voltage) — avoids duplicate BoMs. - ✅ **Do:** Set **Lead Times** on components (vendor lead time + security lead time) so MRP schedules purchase orders in advance. - ✅ **Do:** Use **Scrap Orders** when discarding defective components during production — never adjust stock manually. - ❌ **Don't:** Manually create purchase orders for MRP-managed items — override MRP suggestions only when justified. - ❌ **Don't:** Confuse **Kit** BoM with **Manufacture This Product** — a Kit never creates a Manufacturing Order. ## Limitations - This skill targets **Odoo Manufacturing (mrp)** module. **Maintenance**, **PLM** (Product Lifecycle Management), and **Quality** modules are separate Enterprise modules not covered here. - **Subcontracting** workflows (sending components to a third-party manufacturer) have additional receipt and valuation steps not fully detailed here. - **Lot/serial number traceability** in production (tracking which lot was consumed per MO) adds complexity; test with small batches before full rollout. - MRP calculations assume demand comes from **Sale Orders** and **Reordering Rules** — forecasts from external systems require custom integration. --- Source attribution: ASoudy Original project: https://github.com/ASoudy/AGS/blob/cd1d94757d590093507ef8ac26299eab8bc20478/AGAS/plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/odoo-manufacturing-advisor/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Antigravity User Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
