The first way +manages work with one document only. This document is the +**manufacturing order**. The second way uses additional documents to +give you more precise control over the manufacturing process. In this +way, **Manufacturing orders** are divided into one or more steps +defined by **work orders**, performed in an order defined by +**routings**. + +How to manage manufacturing without routings +============================================ + +You will most likely use manufacturing orders without routings if all +the work to produce your product is performed in one place, by one +person, in one step, and/or you do not need the level of granular +control afforded by work orders and routings. + +Managing your operations in this way is the default behavior in Odoo. +There are two basic phases from planning to production: + +1.

Record Production + +How to manage manufacturing with routings and work orders +========================================================= + +To use work orders and routings, you will need to enable the option +**Manage production by work orders** From +:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. You will then be able to add +routings to bills of materials, and configure some additional related +fields. You will also be able to create **work centers**, the +locations at which work orders are performed. + +When manufacturing with routings and work orders, each work order is +scheduled individually. You will also have access to time and capacity +planning, and reports on costing and efficiency on a work center level. + +Manufacturing using routings can be broken down into several steps. When +configuring your BoM, you will need to add a routing defining the +component work orders. After planning the manufacturing order, you will +have the added step of scheduling work orders. + +The workflow is thus divided into three basic phases, as follows: + +1. Create manufacturing orders + +2. Schedule the associated work orders. + +3. Perform the scheduled work and record production.
