Manufacturing (MRP) — Plan Overview

Planned — not in use yet

As of 10/16/2026 the Manufacturing app is not installed in Odoo. This section is the plan for the roastery repackaging flow, kept for reference. Repackaging is not done through Odoo today.

Blu Coffee plans to add Odoo's native Manufacturing (MRP) capability to bc17 to support the roastery repackaging workflow: taking an existing finished good (a sellable coffee blend) and converting it into a new finished good (a different SKU at a different weight) via grinding and repackaging.

Driving example

	Source	Result
Product	Blu Espresso Blend	Sugbo Blend
Weight	500 g	70 g
SRP	₱675	₱105

The source product is itself a finished, sellable SKU. The repackaging adds value through grinding to a target particle size, weighing into 70 g portions, and packing into Sugbo-branded pouches.

Process Flow (from VGC field notes)

See Process Flow for the full mapping to Odoo concepts.

Why use MRP instead of an internal transfer + manual SKU swap?

Concern	Manual swap	MRP
Component traceability	Implicit	Captured per Manufacturing Order (MO)
Cost rollup (labor, electricity)	Not captured	Work-center cost × time per operation
Yield/loss reporting	Manual	Automatic (kg in vs kg out)
Approval workflow	Email / paper	Built into MO state machine
Brand attribution	Manual	Carried on MO header
Variance analysis	None	Standard vs actual cost on MO close

The MRP route also gives the team a single screen (Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders) to plan, schedule, and review every repackaging run.

Implementation Phases

1. Foundation — install mrp module, set up Roastery stock locations, define work centers
2. Products & BOMs — set up coffee pouches as raw material, configure new SKUs and their BOMs
3. Custom blu_mrp sub-package — approval workflow, brand tracking, raw-material requisition wizard
4. Reporting — manufacturing cost analysis, yield/loss, WIP aging (extends blu_reports)
5. Costing & accounting — analytic accounts for labor / electricity / overhead, production variance account

Each phase is independently shippable. Total estimated effort is ~3 weeks of dev + 1 week UAT.

Module Dependencies (planned change)

Add mrp to bc17/__manifest__.py:

'depends': [
    'base',
    'l10n_ph',
    'base_accounting_kit',
    'tax_report_omax',
    'crm',
    'sale_management',
    'purchase',
    'stock',
    'repair',
    'mrp',          # ← new
    'muk_web_theme',
    'account_parent',
    'sms',
],
