+================================
+Using an alternative Work Center
+================================
+
+For many manufacturing companies, a common issue is to have to
+manufacture, at the same time, several products usually produced at the
+same work center. If in practice, employees can manufacture the goods at
+another work center, it is not that simple.
+
+You need to keep track of the job: which work center has been used and
+when, so you can schedule maintenance efficiently. With Odoo, you can
+configure it so you can keep tracking manufacturing orders and your
+employees have an alternative work center to use.
+
+This way, your process becomes more efficient, and less non-productive
+time will be noticed.
+
+
+Configure your Work Centers
+===========================
+
+The first thing to do is to go to the *Manufacturing* app settings.
+Then, enable the *Work Orders* feature and hit save.
+
+
+.. image:: media/alternative_wc_01.png
+    :align: center
+
+
+Now, go to the *Work Centers* menu under *Master Data* and create
+two new work centers. Add the second work centers as an alternative to
+the first and vice versa.
+
+
+.. image:: media/alternative_wc_02.png
+    :align: center
+
+
+The next step is to create your *routing*. Add your work center and an
+operation to it before saving.
+
+
+.. image:: media/alternative_wc_03.png
+    :align: center
+
+
+Then, you can create your *Bill of Materials* and add components and
+routing to it.
+
+
+.. image:: media/alternative_wc_04.png
+    :align: center
+
+
+Create your Work Orders
+=======================
+
+Now that everything is configured, you can create your *Work Orders*.
+Go to the *Manufacturing Orders* menu and hit *Create*. There, add
+your product and plan it. In the *Work Orders* list, you can find it
+ready to be assembled.
+
+
+.. image:: media/alternative_wc_05.png
+    :align: center
+
+
+Each new *Work Order*, which will be created before the end of the
+first one, will be scheduled at the alternative work center you
+configured.
+
+
+.. image:: media/alternative_wc_06.png
+    :align: center
+
+
+.. note::
+         Keep in mind that, if you add time after production to your work center,
+         you may have work orders scheduled for your alternative work center even
+         if the usual one is free.

-=================================
-How to create a Bill of Materials
-=================================
-
-A bill of materials (BoM) is a document that describes the component
-products, the quantity of each component, and the process required to
-manufacture a product, including a routing and individual steps.
-
-In Odoo, each product may have multiple BoMs associated with it, but a
-BoM can only be associated with a single product. A single BoM can,
-however, describe multiple variants of the same product.
-
-Setting up a Basic BoM
-======================
-
-If you choose to manage your manufacturing operations using manufacturing
-orders only, you will define basic bills of materials without routings.
-
-Before creating your first bill of materials, you will need to create a
-product and at least one component (components are considered products
-in Odoo). You can do so from :menuselection:`Master Data --> Products`, or
-on the fly from the relevant fields on the BoM form. Review the
-Inventory chapter for more information about configuring products. Once
-you have created a product and at least one component, select them from
-the relevant dropdown menus to add them to your bill of materials. A new
-bill of materials can be created from :menuselection:`Master Data --> Bills of Materials`,
-or using the button on the top of the product form.
-
-Under the **Miscellaneous** tab, you can fill additional fields.
-**Sequence** defines the order in which your BoMs will be selected
-for production orders, with lower numbers having higher priority.
-**Version** allows you to track changes to your BoM over time.
-
-Adding a Routing to a BoM
+=========================
+Create Bills of Materials
 =========================
 
-A routing defines a series of operations required to manufacture a
-product and the work center at which each operation is performed. A
-routing may be added to multiple BoMs, though a BoM may only have one
-routing. For more information about configuring routings, review the
-chapter on routings.
+A *Bill of Materials* is a document defining the quantity of each
+component required to manufacture a finished product. It also includes
+the routing and individual steps of the manufacturing process.
 
-After enabling routings from :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`,
-you will be able to add a routing to a bill of materials by selecting a
-routing from the dropdown list or creating one on the fly.
+With Odoo, you can link multiple BoMs to each product and use it to
+describe multiple variants of them. Each BoM will, yet, be associated
+with one product only.
 
-You may define the work operation or step in which each component is
-consumed using the field, **Consumed in Operation** under the
-**Components** tab. Similarly, you can define the operation at which the
-product will be produced under the **Miscellaneous** tab using the field
-**Produced at Operation**. If this field is left blank, the products
-will be consumed/produced at the final operation in the routing.
+This feature will help optimize your manufacturing process while saving
+you time.
 
-.. image:: media/bill_configuration01.png
+Setting up a BoM
+================
+
+You can use BoMs without routings. You will use this if you choose to
+manage your manufacturing operations using manufacturing orders only. In
+other words, you choose to realize your manufacturing process in one
+step and do not track the steps the product goes through.
+
+Before creating your *BoM*, you have to create the product using the
+*BoM* and, at least, one of the components. Go to the *Master Data*
+menu > *Products* and create both the finished product and the
+component.
+
+Once done, go to the *Bills of Materials* menu under *Master Data*.
+Now, create it. Choose the product from the dropdown menu and add your
+components and the quantity. In this case, keep the default *BoM*
+type, which is *Manufacture this Product*.
+
+.. image:: media/bills_of_materials_01.png
     :align: center
 
-Adding Byproducts to a BoM
-==========================
+Using the same BoM to describe Variants
+---------------------------------------
 
-In Odoo, a byproduct is any product produced by a BoM in addition to the
-primary product.
+As said above, you can use *BoM* for *Product Variants*. It is
+basically the same as for the standard product.
 
-To add byproducts to a BoM, you will first need to enable them from
-:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. 
+If your *BoM* is for one variant only, then specify which one in the
+*Product Variant* field. If not, specify the variant it is consumed
+for on each component line. You can add several variants for each
+component.
 
-.. image:: media/bill_configuration02.png
+.. image:: media/bills_of_materials_02.png
     :align: center
 
-Once byproducts are enabled, you can add them to your bills of materials
-under the **Byproducts** tab of the bill of materials. You can add
-any product or products as byproducts. Byproducts are produced in the
-same step of the routing as the primary product of the BoM.
+Adding a routing
+================
 
-.. image:: media/bill_configuration03.png
+You can add routing to your *BoM*. You will do this if you need to
+define a series of operations required by your manufacturing process. To
+use it, enable the *Work Orders* feature in the *Manufacturing* app
+settings.
+
+.. image:: media/bills_of_materials_03.png
     :align: center
 
-Setting up a BoM for a Product With Sub-Assemblies
-==================================================
+.. note::
+         Each *BoM* can have only one routing while each routing can be used
+         multiple times.
 
-A subassembly is a manufactured product which is intended to be used as
-a component of another manufactured product. You may wish to employ
-sub-assemblies to simplify a complex BoM, to more accurately represent
-your manufacturing flow, or to use the same subassembly in multiple
-BoMs. A BoM that employs subassemblies is often referred to as a
-multi-level BoM.
+Now that you have created your routing, add it to your *BoM*. You can
+select when, in the work operations, your components are consumed with
+the dropdown menu.
 
-Multi-level bills of materials in Odoo are accomplished by creating a
-top-level BoM and subassembly BoMs. Next, the procurement route of the
-subassembly product is defined. This ensures that every time a
-manufacturing order for the top-level product is created, a
-manufacturing order for each subassembly is created as well.
-
-Configure the Top-Level Product BoM
------------------------------------
-
-To configure a multi-level BoM, create the top-level product and its
-BoM. Include any subassemblies in the list of components. Create a BoM
-for each subassembly as you would for any product.
-
-.. image:: media/bill_configuration04.png
+.. image:: media/bills_of_materials_04.png
     :align: center
 
-Configure the Subassembly Product Data
---------------------------------------
+Adding By-Products
+==================
 
-On the product form of the subassembly, you must select the routes
-**Manufacture** and **Make To Order**. The **Manufacture**
-route takes precedence over the **Buy** route, so selecting the
-latter will have no effect. 
+In Odoo, a *by-product* is any product produced by a *BoM* in
+addition to the primary product.
 
-.. image:: media/bill_configuration05.png
+To add *by-products* to a *BoM*, you will first need to enable them
+from the *Manufacturing* app settings.
+
+.. image:: media/bills_of_materials_05.png
     :align: center
 
-If you would like to be able to purchase the subassembly in addition to
-manufacturing it, select **Can be Purchased**. All other fields on
-the subassembly product form may be configured according to your
-preference.
+Once the feature is enabled, you can add your *By-Products* to your
+*BoMs*. You can add as many *By-Products* as you want. Just keep in
+mind that you need to register during which operation your by-product is
+produced.
 
-Using a Single BoM to Describe Several Variants of a Single Product
-===================================================================
-
-Odoo allows you to use one bill of materials for multiple variants of
-the same product. Simply enable variants from
-:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`.
-
-.. image:: media/bill_configuration06.png
-    :align: center
-
-You will then be able to specify which component lines are to be used in
-the manufacture of each product variant. You may specify multiple
-variants for each line. If no variant is specified, the line will be
-used for all variants.
-
-When defining variant BoMs on a line-item-basis, the **Product
-Variant** field in the main section of the BoM should be left blank.
-This field is used when creating a BoM for one variant of a product
-only.

+Process Manufacturing Orders
+============================
 
-Introduction
-============
+In Odoo, you can manage your manufacturing process in two different
+ways. You can work with one document, or decide to have more information
+and control over it.
 
-There are two basic ways to manage manufacturing in Odoo. 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**.
+In the first case, Odoo makes things easier and helps you manage work
+with one document only: the manufacturing order. No complex steps during
+the process, you just have to schedule the job and record the
+production.
 
-How to manage manufacturing without routings
-============================================
+But, if you need more control, you can use additional documents (steps)
+to your manufacturing process. This way, *Manufacturing Orders* are
+divided into one or more steps defined by *Work Orders* and performed
+in a sequence defined by *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.
+Using Odoo will allow you to precisely schedule the job, analyze your
+efficiency but also have ease when realizing each step of your
+manufacturing process.
 
-Managing your operations in this way is the default behavior in Odoo.
-There are two basic phases from planning to production:
+Manage Manufacturing Without Routings
+=====================================
 
-1. Create manufacturing orders
+If your manufacturing process is limited to one place, one person and

+settings.
+

+
+Now, you can add routings to *BoMs* and configure your operations
+taking place at different *work centers*. The *Work Centers* are 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.
+.. image:: media/process_manufacturing_orders_02.png

-Manufacturing using routings can be broken down into several steps. When

-have the added step of scheduling work orders.
+When manufacturing this way, each *Work Order* is scheduled

+Use the Master Production Schedule
+==================================
+
+The Master Production Schedule (MPS) is a valuable tool to plan your
+production based on your demand forecast.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Go to the *Manufacturing app > Configuration > Settings* and activate
+the Master Production Schedule feature before hitting save.
+
+.. image:: media/use_mps_01.png
+    :align: center
+
+.. tip::
+        In the manufacturing settings, you can define the time range of your MPS (month/week/day) and the number of periods you want to display.
+
+Now, go in *Planning > Master Production Schedule* and click on add a
+product. You can now define your safety stock target (= the stock you
+want to have on hand at the end of the period) and the minimum and
+maximum quantities to replenish.
+
+.. image:: media/use_mps_02.png
+    :align: center
+
+.. tip::
+        The products are ordered in the MPS based on their sequence. You can
+        rearrange that sequence by going on the list of your products and
+        reorganize them with drag and drop.
+
+.. image:: media/use_mps_03.png
+    :align: center
+
+In the MPS view, you can decide which information you would like to show
+by clicking on *rows*. Some fields can be added to the view, such as
+*Actual demand*, which will show which quantity of products has
+already been ordered for the period, or *Available to Promise*, which
+allows you to know what can still be sold during the period (what you
+plan to replenish - what is already sold during the period). You can
+also decide to hide some information if it isn’t necessary.
+
+.. image:: media/use_mps_04.png
+    :align: center
+
+Estimate your demand and launch replenishment
+=============================================
+
+The next step is to estimate the demand for the period. This estimation
+should be entered in the row *Demand Forecast*. You can easily, at any
+time, compare the demand forecast with the actual demand (= confirmed
+sales). The demand forecast for a finished product will impact the
+indirect demand for its components.
+
+.. image:: media/use_mps_05.png
+    :align: center
+
+Then, the quantity to replenish for the different periods will be
+automatically computed. The replenishments you are supposed to launch
+based on your lead times (vendor lead time or manufacturing lead time)
+are displayed in green. You can now launch the replenishment by clicking
+on the replenish button.
+
+Depending on the configuration of the product (buy vs. manufacture),
+requests for quotations or manufacturing orders will be created. You can
+easily access those by clicking on the *Actual Replenishment* cell.

+automatically computed value given by Odoo, you can click the cross.
+

+    :align: center
+
+Cells color signification
+=========================
+
+The cells, which are part of the *To replenish* line, can take
+different colors depending on the situation:
+
+-  **Green**: quantity of products which should be replenished to
+       reach the expected safety stock considering the demand forecast
+       and the indirect demand forecast.
+
+-  **Grey**: replenishment order has already been generated, and its
+       quantity still matches current data.
+
+-  **Red**: replenishment order has already been generated, and its
+       quantity was too high considering current data.
+
+-  **Orange**: replenishment order has already been generated, and
+       its quantity was too low considering current data.
+
+The *Forecasted stock* line can also contain red cells, which means
+the stock will be negative during the period in question.
+
+What if I have underestimated the demand?
+-----------------------------------------
+
+You can still increase the demand forecast. It will impact the quantity
+to replenish. The cell will become orange, and you’ll be able to launch
+a new replenishment.
+
+What if I have overestimated the demand?
+----------------------------------------
+
+You can decrease the demand forecast. The cell will become red to inform
+you that you’ve ordered more than planned. If you’re still able to do
+it, you can cancel some RFQ or MO manually.
+
+What if I wrongly added a product to the MPS?
+---------------------------------------------
+
+You can easily remove a product from the MPS by clicking the small bin
+on the right of its name.
