The ZTM Company, Zack Russell

Hello, 

In Odoo V17 I'm looking for a way to track the physical location of my products as they go through the manufacturing operations. I find this necessary due to the time between each WC's operation isn't always immediate and therefor the parts will sit at a physical location until the next operation is ready to begin. I'm hoping this example that I provide will help get my question answered.

I need to make Product A. Product A starts at WC1 for Op01, when Op01 is completed I need to see where the parts are physically located so the operator at WC2 can locate the parts and start Op02, this process would continue through the production cycle. 

Once at the end of the production cycle I would then like for either a prompt to be displayed or find some sort of way for the last operator to select where they put the parts.

I understand there's a selection field "Finished Product Locations" on the MO while it's in the draft state however that option isn't always viable. It's not viable because at the creation of the MO the locations of where operators would put the parts could be unavailable or there may not be capacity at that exact moment for the parts to be stored.

Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Best Answer

You have two different issues:

1. Stock between operations. Best practice is to set up Multi level manufacturing, when you have physical stock between operations.  For Op01 produce a semi finished product that is a component in the manufacturing order for Op02.  So two different products, that have their own BOM. 

2. Stock placement after production: You cannot override Destination location in the manufacturing order, once the manufacturing order is confirmed. You can set up a route with rules that put the product into the correct location. In the manufacturing operation type, remove the setting for Default destination location and let the route / rule set the destination

The other option is to set up an internal transfer after production you do stock placement.  Then you manually can select the location where you want to place products.  There is also possible to set up some rules for stock placement of products.  

If you set up stock placement for products coming from Op01, you must also set up picking before manufacture Op02.

There are settings in the warehouse configuration that will help you configure routes and rules.

What you choose is dependent on how your location looks like, physical, and which locations you need.  In general: The detailed you are in define locations, the less time will be used you find your stock.  On the other hand, stock placement and picking will create extra transactions to confirm.
