Making

Turn components into finished goods using BOMs and work centers.

Key models

• mrp.bom — bill of materials (kit, normal, or phantom)
• mrp.bom.line — component line
• mrp.production — manufacturing order (MO)
• mrp.workorder — work order (one per operation on a routing)
• mrp.workcenter — work station with capacity/cost
• mrp.routing.workcenter — operation on a routing
• quality.check — QC point tied to MO or picking

Typical workflows

1. Define BOM → mrp.bom with type = normal (consume & produce) or phantom (kit, no MO)
2. Plan MO → create mrp.production, reserve components, schedule work orders
3. Explode BOM → recursive walk of sub-BOMs for material-requirements planning
4. Execute → mark components consumed (_action_done), record produced qty
5. Quality → trigger quality.check at operation, receipt, or shipping

Gotchas

• Phantom BOMs don't create an MO — they just explode the kit into the parent's lines.
• qty_producing on the MO drives backflush; partial production is allowed.
• Routings moved into mrp.bom.operation_ids in recent versions — check your Odoo version.
• Cost rollup: component standard_price + work center cost-per-hour → finished standard_price (if FIFO/average enabled).
