Odoo for Metal Fabrication FAQ

Can Odoo quote custom fabrication jobs?

Yes. A quote can be built from a bill of materials and routing, so material, labor and machine time are priced consistently, and the confirmed order becomes a manufacturing order with the same operations.

Can we buy steel by weight and use it by the sheet or foot?

Yes. Odoo converts between units of measure, so you can purchase by weight and consume by sheet, bar length or piece, with inventory kept in the right unit.

Can Odoo manage parts sent out for finishing?

Yes. Odoo’s subcontracting sends components to a subcontractor, tracks them while they are away and receives the finished parts back into stock.

How long does an Odoo implementation take?

It depends on how many apps, sites and integrations you need and how much data you are moving. We agree the scope and timeline with you after a short discovery, and many fabrication shops start with the core apps and add more in phases.
