Odoo 8 Magento Integration

We provide Odoo 8 Magento integration services. Magento is a good platform for front end of your web shop and Odoo acts as a perfect back office application supporting all the business processes required by a company.



Following are the major highlights of Odoo OpenERP Manufacturing Management
1) Product catalog export from Odoo to Magento and Sale orders imports from Magento to Odoo. Users can import catalogues, categories and products along with customers information and addresses. The Magento Odoo connector imports every order status including the cancelled orders. The other imported orders are pending, enqueued, started, done or failed. The connector also creates a contact if it did not exist earlier.
 2) Product stocks updates, based on Odoo virtual stocks (number of products in the physical stock that have not been reserved yet)
3) Synchronization: The Magento Odoo connector processes the import of orders on the basis of the order status in Odoo, thus synchronising the information across the e-commerce and Odoo platforms.
4) Management of product types: The Magento Odoo connector supports the import of all types of products except configurable products helping the users to maintain a perfect record of the inventory by creating a bill of materials for bundled product types.
5) No Duplication: One individual task is created for each record to import in Odoo for sales order, customer, product and other categories thus reducing data redundancy.
6) Fully Tested: The connector and the integration is completely scrutinized by unit test cases which check the functionality with different order and product types and other combinations.
The testing ensures that the connector behavior is predictable and active development does not hinder the working features. You can see it for yourself. The connector is still missing a few functions, which have been added to our to-do list. Here are the to-do functions:
1.Multi-language support
2.Handling of configurable products
3.Show Odoo OpenERP invoices on Magento customer account.

7) Product Category tree export, including creation and update

Odoo OpenERP Manufacturing Management MRP MPS

Odoo OpenERP Manufacturing helps manufacturers especially those that operate within a different mode (process, discrete, repetitive, etc.) environment—design, manufacture, and distribute products in a timely fashion; use appropriate processes that optimize resources; material, machinery, tools etc and satisfy the expectations about quality and delivery.



Following are the major highlights of Odoo OpenERP Manufacturing Management
1) Integrate manufacturing resources to improve your efficiencies and competitive nature
 2) Handle different manufacturing modes with an enterprise-wide system where all processes utilize common material, planning, procurement, and financial costing databases 
3) Enable quick processing through different features through which you can complete the end to end flow
4) Utilize all the potential facilities and resources to effectively transition the manufacturing flow on the shop floor
5) Advanced shop floor control with use of scanning through traveller, labels and efficiency matrix
6) Manage the WIP,semi-finished items without much hassle, also track inventory and costing related to operations as individual or all at once.
7) Bird's eye view through MPS and forecasting to effectively manage and utilize the capacity and projections
8) Production Planning based on MPS throughout the flow which will cut down the decision making on the floor
9) Manage MTS or MTO or Assemble to Order processes within the system which efficiently manage the inventory levels

Material Resource Planning manages the auto procurement for production. It can also be set with minimum quantity.

With advanced features such as Master Production Schedule, it does Advanced Planning and Scheduling. Resources can be scheduled well in advanced against Order or Against Make to Stock. It comes with a neat Gantt chart which visualises the load on resources and completion of the production.

It comes with Real Time Inventory Valuation. Journal entries against Manufacturing Orders are posted consisting of Material cost, Work Centres cost and Labor cost.

Master Production Schedule – Make to Stock
Master Production Schedule module is designed to help manufacturers develop an attainable schedule while balancing internal constraints and limited resources and achieving Advanced Planning and Scheduling. MPS for Make to Stock enables to Schedule the production against stock. MPS balances machine capacity and acknowledges labour to develop a realistic plan of action to move production through various operation steps. The user benefit is that generated schedules are realistic and achievable on the plant floor because the production constraints on the plant floor are considered and modelled.


Key Features
 1) Track each Production Order through each respective routing step and know where each part should be at any particular time. 
2) Keep track of all required resources for each manufacturing step and know the availability of each resource at any particular time.
3) Represent time in a detailed manner (e.g. minute by minute). Machine run time can be defined as - per hour
4)Schedule orders (i.e. manufacturing steps) only when resources are available.
5) Detailed working Time for work centres.
6) Consideration of preventative maintenance (Resource Leave) and other machine down time in Scheduling.
7) Can be Scheduled for any of the month
8) Routing selection is provided at the time of Schedule generation
9) Multiple Tentative Schedules can be generated and changed before freezing it.
10) Multiple products can be scheduled in one Schedule Plan

In Open ERP we have developed the module for managing the MPS.Pre requisites for MPS are BOM, Operations, Work centres, Routing, Resource Working Time, Resource Leave (Down Time).
MPS -Make To Order
Master Production Schedule module is designed to help manufacturers develop an attainable schedule while balancing internal constraints and limited resources and achieving Advanced Planning and Scheduling. MPS for Make to Order enables to Schedule the production against Sales Orders. MPS balances machine capacity and acknowledges labour to develop a realistic plan of action to move production through various operation steps of Sales Orders to be delivered and gives the realistic delivery dates. The user benefit is that generated schedules are realistic and achievable on the plant floor because the production constraints on the plant floor are considered and modelled.


Key Features
 1) After selecting the Sales Order, Start date and Delivery date automatically populates 
2) Start Date can be changed so the delivery date changes accordingly
3) Track each Sales Order through each respective routing step and know where each part should be at any particular time.
4)Keep track of all required resources for each manufacturing step and know the availability of each resource at any particular time.
5) Represent time in a detailed manner (e.g. minute by minute). Machine run time can be defined as - per hour
6) Schedule orders (i.e. manufacturing steps) only when resources are available.
7) Detailed working Time for work centres.
8) Consideration of preventative maintenance (Resource Leave) and other machine down time in Scheduling.
9) Can be Scheduled against single Sales Order or Sales Orders for particular period
10) Routing selection is provided at the time of Schedule generation

In Open ERP we have developed the module for managing the MPS for Make to Order.Pre requisites for MPS are Sales Orders, BOM, Operations, Work centres, Routing, Resource Working Time, Resource Leave (Down Time).
