We recently hosted a focused session on managing external costs and quality controls in Odoo 19 — and the recording is now available.

This webinar covered the financial and operational risks that come with subcontracting, kitting, and manufacturing workflows. The goal was simple: ensure inventory valuation and COGS reflect reality — not configuration mistakes.

Watch the full recording below:
