Manufacturing ERP on Odoo: true cost per production order
5:11 min · Film in English · Published Nov 5, 2026
A five-minute film on TDS Manufacturing ERP, built on Odoo. Follow an illustrative manufacturing group from a stopped production line to the true cost and margin of every production order: one MRP run, formula bills of materials, sheet decomposition, project-driven manufacturing for steel, quality and traceability, and one database for a group of companies and plants.

What the film covers
- Sales forecasts merge into one MRP run across every bill-of-materials level; orders are issued as drafts the planner reviews before release, so a missing material shows up before the line stops.
- Formula bills of materials for paints, chemicals and fragrances, built by TDS: each component is a percentage of the batch, and all components follow when the batch size changes.
- Sheet decomposition for metals and cladding, built by TDS: one sheet becomes many parts, its cost is split by weight and machine time, offcuts return to stock and scrap is recorded.
- Project-driven manufacturing for steel structures: one construction order per project, split by bill-of-quantities section; every manufacturing order and purchase request carries the project, section and analytic account.
- Quality checks at the stages you choose, and traceability of every unit by lot and serial number from receipt to delivery.
- True cost per production order: materials, machine time, labour, overheads, freight, customs and scrap, with each order linked to the sales order behind it.
- One database for several companies and plants: inter-company transactions created automatically and eliminated on consolidation, with standard cost and monthly variances per plant.
