Subcontracting | Odoo MRP Software Muscat Oman

Hi my dear doers nowadays more and more businesses send their materials to other companies to produce the finished goods that action is called subcontracting and here at stealthy wood we rely on subcontractors as it provides many strategic benefits. It gives us the opportunity to focus on key operations, while our partners perform other tasks throughout the manufacturing process and since our subcontractors team will be doing part of the job it enables us to offer more without having to worry about extra hiring and staffing after all maintaining a small staff is critical for us.

As we have many secrets in fact bruce wayne wouldn’t be happy if everybody knew that he was batman oh wait jokes aside as our subcontractors use their own equipment we don’t have to invest in expensive machinery, which means we have more money to invest in our core business so let’s dive into selfie with database to see how we can rely on subcontractors all right here i am on my database the first thing we’re going to do is jump to manufacturing configuration settings and for this video we want to be sure we have subcontracting activated which i already do and as we have already seen in some previous videos some processes use bills of materials and at stealthy wood we actually use them a lot and to subcontract products using odoo they are necessary.

So we’re going to go to the products menu and we’re going to click on bills of materials and here we have a list of all of our bills and materials and as you may know stealthy wood is a wood furniture manufacturer and all of our manufacturing processes are managed by ourselves but in order to offer more we would like to sell new products such as lamps to sell alongside our desks unfortunately we’re not very skilled with electrical components so that’s why we’re going to send our raw materials to a subcontractor who manufactures the electrical parts for us. so let’s go ahead and create a new bill of material by clicking on the create button.

Now the first thing i’m going to do is actually to change the bom type because i know this is a subcontrary subcontracting bill of material so for manufacturers products let’s change that to subcontracting and once i select that i of course will need to add my subcontractor so we’re going to add azure interior as our subcontractor and you can have multiple subcontractors if needed then we’re going to select our products this is going to be for our office lamp and then after we’ve added the product we of course will add components as we would for any other build material so let’s go ahead and add a lampshade a lamp base and a bulb all right something else to point out is that on each of these components on the product page underneath the inventory tab i have a resupply subcontractor on order selected so you do need to have that um activated on the product page for each of your components for a sub contracting bill of material all right so i have that saved for each of these components let’s go ahead and save this bomb all right now if i want my subcontractor product i simply need to order it from the subcontractor and i’m going to do so from the purchase application so let’s jump to purchase create an rfq add the subcontractor and the product of course so our office lamp here then i’m going to save and confirm this rfq turning it into a po now once i have done that we’re actually going to jump to the inventory application because of course my subcontractor will need the materials in order to manufacture this lamp.

So i’m going to send the materials to their location so the job can be done so under delivery orders we’re going to jump to the eighth delivery orders that are waiting all right and i see um that there is a delivery order here for azure interior all right i see the source document as well which is um the receipt so we’re gonna go ahead and select that jump to operations i’m going to have all of my components here so it’s really convenient once i created that purchase order this delivery order to send the products to the subcontractor was automatically generated all right so let’s go ahead and check the availability and we’re going to validate this delivery order okay apply and that’s done so let’s imagine they received the components and they have manufactured the product sent it back to us now we can go ahead and receive it in odoo so let’s go back to our inventory dashboard and we’re going to go to our receipts all right so i have this receipt from azure interior and i see now that it’s ready to go, so let’s go ahead and validate this we’re going to apply we’ve seen we have received the product and that’s it nothing is easier um and it’s all thanks to odoo and thank you for watching that’s all for this video and if i don’t see you good afternoon good evening and good night

    Product Lifecycle Management | Odoo MRP Muscat Oman

    Hi my dear doers since we’re getting used to the manufacturing process i would like to enhance the flow of information within stealthy wood after all the company is destined to grow and i want to be sure good communication is established before new teams join us to do so odu developed an eco a.k.a change order feature once stealthy wood is big enough this part of the manufacturing process will be the manufacturing engineering team’s responsibility but for now i’ll handle it myself an eco is a document that outlines the proposed modifications to the products or parts affected by the requested change it’s a central information hub for everyone associated with a given product i need to set one up because it will help streamline product development and improvement everyone can have their eco type and companies can of course have several in my case one is enough because i want to change my table legs only to some that are more durable so let’s see how that will work in stealthy woods database all right here i am on my database.

    Now the first thing we’re going to need to do is to create an eco type so i’m going to jump to the plm application go to configuration eco types and click on create now i’ll just need to name it for now so we’re going to put table revision and then i’m going to click on save now i’m only going to use this type when the bom of a table we produce is in need of a revision of course and then we’re going to jump to our dashboard while i have an overview of all of our eco types but i’m just going to jump directly to this one that we just created i’m going to start adding some columns or rather some stages so let’s go ahead and say new for the first column then in progress then validated effective and lastly refused because we want to keep track of those as well but we don’t need to see them all the time so i’m actually going to click on edit stage and click on folded in the kanban view so that i can have a better overview of what’s actually happening and we’ll see that the those that will be refused will be folded all right so let’s go ahead and modify our other stages as well and we’re going to start with the effective stage let’s click on the little cog icon and then go to edit stage now the first thing i’m going to do is to take allow to apply changes now by taking this i allow odoo to apply the requested changes to the billet material.

    When the task reaches the stage i’m also going to check final stage and by ticking this odoo will automatically move the task to the stage when the final approval has been given and you’ll see below that we will actually be able to set up some approvals which i’m going to do on the other stages but let’s save this one for now as it’s the final stage i don’t need it for that one but we’re going to hop on over to new we’re going to edit this stage as well all right so i’m going to go ahead and add the first approval that needs to be done here so i’m going to just put uh acknowledge demand all right and the admin which is me will need to do this and then i have my approval type as well so i can say that this will be an optional approval it’s required or i just need to add a comment which is what i’m going to select for this first one all right and that’s all that needs to be done uh for the news stage so let’s go ahead and move on to in progress i’m going to modify this and i’m just going to say approve and i’m going to add the user which will be me again and this time i will say that it is required so that means that this approval must be done in order for the task to move to the next stage so he will be blocked here in progress until it is approved at which point i can then move it to the next stage which is the validated stage.

    So by doing that i’m sure that only the correct changes are allowed so let’s save this and then lastly we have our validated stage now here i am going to allow to apply changes all right and i’m also going to add the final approval as well which needs to be done by the admin once again that’s me and it is required so let’s go ahead and save this and now that my columns my stages are all set up we’re going to create a new eco so i’m going to click on create and i’m going to add a short summary so i’m going to say replace table legs all right i have the type which of course is going to be table revision as we’re looking at um only this ethio type and then i can apply it on the product only or on the bill of material which is what i’m going to select then i’ll need to add my product and when i add the product the related bill of material is going to be automatically populated then we have our responsible which is me by default since i created this all right and then we have our effectivity so it’s going to be as soon as possible or we can even do this at a specific date of course if i select that i also need to select the specific date but i want to say as soon as possible below we can add some notes and then we’re going to go ahead and click on save and start new revision at which point we are going to have some additional tabs, such as bomb changes routing changes and then i’ll be able to see the um next required approval as well so in this case we’re in the new stage so uh we see that i need to acknowledge the demand.

    So i’m going to go ahead and log a note and say looks good and then i’m going to move it to the next stage so i’m going to move it to in progress all right then we see that that um that role that approval has been done the demand was acknowledged so let’s go ahead and move it to validate but we can’t as i mentioned earlier once i have approval that’s required it must be approved before the task can be moved on to the next stage all right so let’s go ahead and click on ok ok and what i want to do is actually replace the table legs but first let’s reprove this for now all right and i see it’s approved i’m going to move it to the validated stage so now i’m able to do it because i completed that you also notice that i also have a reject button as well which may be required in some cases um but fortunately here i was able to approve it all right um and as i said i want to replace the table legs so what i’m going to do is actually click on update bom and you’ll also notice here that i have this smart button that will also let me access the bomb and i see that it’s revision number two and when i click on update bomb or when i go to that revision and under the miscellaneous tab we’re going to see that this is version two of the bomb now this is really important or really useful because by having this version feature and duplicating the old one when working on the new one odoo prevents problems like engineering e-bomb and manufacturing in-bomb overlay so by doing so i will only modify the bomb one time and manufacturing operators won’t have to juggle with several different bombs at the same time so that’s just odoo’s uh unique way of managing that process all right so here i am i’m modifying the bomb i’m going to click on edit i’m going to remove the old table legs and add table leg version 2 because that is what we want to update and then i’m going to save this i’m going to hop back to the eco all right and if i go to bom changes i’m going to be able to see what has been changed so even though i did that directly on the bomb we’re going to see those changes here so i saw that i removed the old legs and added the new legs all right i will also be able to see routing changes as well if i make some of those which i didn’t hear all right and of course i can keep track of my approval so here i am on the validated stage and i want to go ahead and approve this change all right.

    So i’m going to click on approve and i can apply those changes right away so let’s click on apply changes and once i’ve clicked on apply changes it moves automatically to the effective stage um and if i go to my bomb i’m going to see that um this is now my production bill of material because it no longer has that archived flag that we saw earlier on and when i go to the bill of material so let’s go to our bills of materials quickly here i’m using the shortcuts we’re going to go to our table and when i go to miscellaneous i’m going to see that we are actively using the version 2 or the second revision of this bill of material here so i can easily keep track of everything that’s going on so that’s all for this video thank you for watching and if i don’t see you go afternoon good evening and good night

                  What is the difference between Odoo Customization and Configuration

                  There are a lot of terms that can get thrown around, when it comes to making your Odoo ERP system your own assets that include customization and configuration. Your business requirements will be collected by experts of your Odoo ERP implementation partner. Either configuration or customization of the system will be done to meet your needs.
                  There is a confusion with Odoo Configurations vs Odoo Customization with a lot of people many times though both are different.

                  There is a huge difference in Customization v/s Odoo Configuration as both work on a different model. Customization includes adding new code in either an existing module of Odoo or creating a new module through coding to meet the needs of the company. Whereas Odoo Configurations include only settings in ERP software to meet the needs of the customer. The time-frame for both varies as Customization requires time whereas configuration can be done in a few clicks.

                  Odoo Customization

                  When you customize an Odoo ERP software, you are building functionality that doesn’t currently exist anywhere in the software even through 3rd party apps. If your Odoo Partner don’t have the capabilities to achieve the customizations you are looking out for then there may be difficulties that will increase your implementation timeline and the desire outcome of a particular Odoo Module.

                  • Odoo Customization requires both Odoo Technical as well as Function knowledge.
                  • Odoo Custom Development needs powerful Product knowledge.
                  • Customization is always unique to your company processes.
                  • Custom Codings are added to meet business requirements
                  • Can be costly compare to Configurations.
                  • Requires Time for Planning, Coding as per Odoo Standards, development, Testing, Interlinking with other Modules.
                  • Customizations may require allocation of Multiple Odoo resources such as Technical, Functional, Testers etc.

                  Odoo Configurations

                  Odoo Configurations is not as tricky compare to customizations because with Configurations you just change the existing functionality without coding. When you are configuring Odoo ERP you are actually building the workflows in a few clicks. Odoo Configuration capabilities are very important part compare to customization. The Odoo vendor must be able to understand the complete level of configurations that can be performed in Odoo. Else, with poor configuration knowledge, the vendor will end up customizing everything in Odoo which will increase the ERP implementation cost as well as timelines of the project.

                  • Odoo Configuration requires a deep Odoo Knowledge and understanding of each module. Example – MRP, Sales, Human Resource Management.
                  • Odoo Configuration never touches the core code of the module. Everything is handled through Odoo settings.
                  • Configuration can be easily revertible if not suiting your business needs.
                  • Configurations are cheaper compare to Customizations.
                  • Configurations need lesser time but a thorough understanding of where the other modules will affect with a particular configuration.
                  • Configuration of Odoo ERP can be handled by Functional resource – Technical resource may not be required
