- If Odoo can continue to publish more videos PLEASE with more specific details of how to take buyable products (like sheets or rolls of material) and convert to different units of measure in the manufacturing model, it will be super helpful.

We are using Odoo for the Building Signage Industry and has similar process's as others commented below:

I believe you should rethink this, part.

- Ratio should be set up at Article level. Every category will eventually have a huge amount of variants, which will make it very hard to keep a clean masterdata. Imagine you have bottle with 1l, 2l, 2, 5l, 10l, 33cl, ... Or boxes with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ... or even 2500 pieces.

- And there should be the possibility to link uom's of differtent categories. There should be a table added to Article for inter-category conversions and extra category conversions. This wil be a problem for many grossist and manufacturing companies.


- Also by allowing to have more than one conversion is essential for a efficient logistics flows. Because there could be a mix between pallet, row, or piece picking.

Odoo can’t work with fabrics, in manufacturing or inventory
Because this domain is very complicated and this example in the video isn’t right, because each rol has a different quantity EX:50-51, 30-40-45, 60 …ets
Therefore odoo cannot dealing with fabrics with normal UM
It needs special methods

I am saddened to say this but this video is simply misleading. Clearly the textile market is a huge one for odoo but at the moment the ERP does not play nicely with fabrics.

We are a fabric mill and we have been using odoo since v10 and now we are kn v16.

Some main issues are:
- Double UoM requirement for knit fabrics does not exist. We have to create multiple products for knits. (Or use kit BOMs - still to much trouble)
- Roll based inventory keeping does not exist and required tons of customization.
- For printing like manufacturing, process production does not really work in odoo.
- Packing lists are really painful
- Production machine integrations are just not really feasible.

Overall, I simply recommend using a tailore made ERP rather than odoo. At the moment we are not able to migrate because we are just deep

I am happy to answer any questions you might have regarding this.

Ps: i had also took these concerns to odoo mrp project managers, but i guess they are more concerned about creating notion copycats than building a robust manufacturing solution.
