Imagine this.

A customer calls your sales team.
They want to place an order for your product — but not just any product. It’s something you manufacture yourself.

Now the question is:
Do you have enough stock? If not, how fast can you make it? Do you have the materials ready?

This is where many businesses stumble. Sales talks to Inventory. Inventory asks Purchasing. Manufacturing waits for the green light.
Delays happen. Emails are missed. Deadlines slip.

But what if all of this was connected?
What if your system worked like a well-aligned cross — with Inventory at the center, Sales on the right, Purchasing on the left, and Manufacturing ready to move below?

Let’s walk through how this connected workflow looks inside Odoo.

🛒 It All Starts With Sales: The Customer Request

Your sales team sends a quotation. The customer confirms the order.

In that moment, Odoo checks:

Do we have this product in stock?
Is it made-to-order?
Do we need to manufacture it?

The sales order doesn’t just sit there. It triggers the next steps — informing Inventory about what needs to move, what needs to be made, and when it needs to be delivered.

📦 Inventory at the Center: The Heart of the Operation

Inventory is like the heartbeat of your workflow.

When Sales confirms an order, Inventory checks:

Is the product ready to go?
Do we have the raw materials if we need to produce more?
Should we trigger a purchase order for missing items?

Inventory doesn’t just store products. It talks to both Sales and Purchasing — making sure the right materials are available at the right time.

🤝 Purchasing: Getting What You Need, When You Need It

If raw materials are running low, Inventory sends the signal to Purchasing.

No need for manual stock checks.
Odoo’s reordering rules and procurement strategies handle it for you.

Purchase orders go out to your trusted suppliers. Materials arrive on time, ready for production.

🏭 Manufacturing: Turning Materials Into Products

Once everything is in place, Manufacturing steps in.

The Manufacturing Order is ready. Work orders are scheduled.
Raw materials flow from Inventory into production. Finished products flow back, ready to fulfill your sales order.

No guessing. No delays. The system keeps everyone aligned.

🔄 Why This Workflow Works Like a Cross-Connected System

Picture this again:

Each part is connected, not isolated.
Sales drives demand. Inventory balances stock. Purchasing supplies materials. Manufacturing produces exactly what’s needed.

This is how Odoo helps your business flow naturally from customer request to product delivery — with no missed steps in between.

🌿 Build a Workflow That Works for You

Manufacturing doesn’t have to be complicated.
When your system is connected, your team stays focused on quality and delivery — not chasing emails or spreadsheets.
