Production planning shouldn’t live in someone’s head and a WhatsApp group.
Odoo Manufacturing (MRP) in the UAE
Odoo Manufacturing connects what you sell to what you produce and what you buy. Bills of materials define every product, work orders guide the shop floor, raw materials are reserved and consumed automatically, and costs flow into accounting.

Can Odoo manage manufacturing for a small factory in the UAE?
Yes. Odoo MRP handles bills of materials, work orders and work centres, raw-material reservation and consumption, by-products and scrap, and production costing, and it scales from a single workshop to multi-step production. Advanced planning (MPS), product lifecycle (PLM), quality and maintenance are available in Enterprise.
What it covers
- Bills of materials
- Multi-level BoMs, variants, kits and by-products.
- Work orders
- Operations by work centre with instructions and time tracking.
- Material control
- Components reserved, consumed and scrapped with full traceability.
- Planning
- Make-to-order or make-to-stock, with demand-driven replenishment.
- Costing
- Material, labour and overhead costs per production order.
- Quality and maintenance
- Quality checks and equipment maintenance (Enterprise).

Implementation considerations
- Accurate BoMs
- Wrong BoMs mean wrong costs and wrong purchasing. We validate them with production.
- Shop-floor adoption
- Tablets at work centres only help if operators are trained and involved.
- Start simple
- Many factories start with BoMs and inventory, then add work orders and planning.
Frequently asked questions
Can Odoo track raw materials by batch?
Yes. Components can be tracked by lot or serial number through production to the finished product.
Does Odoo calculate production cost?
Yes, from component costs plus work-centre operation costs, with variance visible in accounting.
Keep exploring
- ERP and digital systems for manufacturers in the UAEA factory runs on three numbers: what’s in stock, what’s being made, and what it really costs.
- Odoo Inventory: warehouse and stock managementIf the system says 40 and the shelf says 32, every other number is wrong too.
- Odoo Purchase: automated buying and supplier controlRunning out of stock and over-buying usually have the same cause: no reorder rules.
- Digitize manufacturing: raw materials, production and costingIf you learn about a material shortage when the line stops, the system is paper.
