Hi everyone,

I'm working with Odoo 18, and I'm trying to improve how components are handled during manufacturing. I am in the 1 step process.

I want to define default storage locations for each component, so that when a Manufacturing Order (MO) is created, Odoo pulls components from their specific shelves — not from the generic WH/Stock location.

For example:

• Product A is a finished product
• It is built from Products B, C, and D
• Product B is stored in Shelf B
• Product C in Shelf C
• Product D in Shelf D
• After production, Product A should be stored in Shelf A

I’ve already set up Putaway Rules, so incoming products go to the right shelves when received. That part works fine.

But when I create a Manufacturing Order, all components are still pulled from WH/Stock by default.

I’d like to make it so that each component has a default source location (like Shelf B, Shelf C, etc.) that Odoo uses automatically during production.

Is there a standard way to do this in Odoo?
