Setting the Cost Foundation in Odoo
Getting production right in Odoo starts long before the first Manufacturing Order is created. If your setup is off, your financials are already wrong. That was the core message of this first production-focused webinar.
Why Setup Matters More Than You Think
We walked through how work center configuration and Bills of Materials (BoMs) drive cost calculations in Odoo. Incorrect work center rates, missing labor costs, or poorly defined operations can lead to overstated or understated production costs the moment you click Produce.
We expanded on BoM best practices, explaining when to use kits vs. manufacturing BoMs, how to handle byproducts, and how small structural decisions can create large financial discrepancies over time.
Practical Efficiency and Odoo 19 Features
We demonstrated practical tools inside Odoo that help production teams stay accurate and efficient, including:
- Automatic backorder creation
- Product images in the Shop Floor module
- Time tracking aligned with real production activity
The session also covered newer Odoo 19 features, such as IoT integration and improvements to cost tracking, showing how they support better visibility and control on the shop floor.

This session is especially valuable for finance leaders, operations managers, and production teams who want confidence in their numbers—not surprises at month-end.
If your production setup isn’t financially sound, no amount of reporting will fix it later. This webinar shows where to look, what to question, and how to build a more reliable cost foundation in Odoo.
