How to Manage Manufacturing in 2steps in Odoo18

This video explains a more structured manufacturing process where components are first “picked” from stock and moved to a “Pre-production” staging area.

• Two-Step Logic: The process is: 1. Pick components to staging. 2. Manufacture.
• Setting Up: In Warehouse settings, change the manufacturing flow to “Pick components and then manufacture (2 steps).”
• Picking Operation: Creating an MO now automatically generates a separate Picking Document.
• Staging Area: The video explains that materials are moved from general stock to a “Pre-production” location.
• Production Start: Production can only begin once the picking is validated and materials are in the staging area.
• Organization: This keeps the production floor organized and ensures materials are ready before workers start.
• Validation: The video shows validating the picking first, then validating the MO.
• Traceability: The system tracks the movement of materials into the production zone separately.
