[Music] twinkling Hello Odoo-ers. Have you ever waited so long for a package you forgot you ordered it? Like when I waited two years for my KAT Atlantis keycaps?
and I was so over them by that time, so I have these ones now. You see, at Stealthy Wood, we take *Ctrl*, and we avoid production delays by scheduling orders based on production and delivery times. By accurately estimating delivery times, we ensure that the parts arrive just as we need them.
And Manufacturing Orders are completed just in time for shipping. Now this not only eliminates the need to keep parts and finished product in stock, But it keeps us efficient because to put it simply a lead time is the amount of calendar days that it takes for a process to be completed from start to finish. now there are lots of different types of lead times, including Customer Lead Time, which it's the number of days between when the product is ordered and when it's left the warehouse basically Now remember Odooers, this is actually important here Whenever we're talking about Customer Lead Time, we're referring to the delivery lead time.
Next, we have Manufacturing Lead Time, or the number of days it actually takes us to build a product. now in this video, I'm going to show you a cool new feature inside of Odoo called. .
. Days to Prepare Manufacturing Order Now with it, we'll know when we need to order necessary parts. They are mini deadlines and reminders to help us finish manufacturing on time.
Now let's start clickety-clacking away at the essence of logistics! All right so let's begin on the Manufacturing app and we're going to take a quick look at the Sturdy Table that I'm selling. Now we can find it by going up here to Products > Products and selecting Sturdy Table.
Perfect. we're here at the product form. Now to start (and this is important!
) We define the Manufacturing Lead Time on the product form. so, we'll also click on the Inventory Tab and you'll find the Manufacturing Lead Time field, located in the Logistics section over here. In our case, we're going to say that it takes us five days to build a Sturdy Table.
Now, the Customer Lead Time below here: is the time between when a customer places an order and when we ship our sturdy table out. We're using the 0,0 reordering rule to replenish our stock and plan when to begin manufacturing, so we can estimate that the whole process takes us two weeks 14 days. Now again this is also known as the delivery lead time and if you don't believe me, hover over these little question marks.
they always give you small little information and bits of stuff. Alright, next-- let's check on the 0,0 reordering rule configs by clicking on the Reordering Rules smart button up here. Beautiful, all right now 0,0 is a nickname for a reordering rule where the minimum and the max quantity are both set to zero.
This means we don't want to keep any finished table or its components in stock. but we'll start manufacturing one when a customer places an order. So what happens if a customer cancels that order?
Well Odoo stores that table and seeks to deplete it when someone else orders it, bringing the max quantity again to zero. now the same goes for the opposite-- when a customer orders a Sturdy Table the forecasted quantity over here turns to -1 which is a signal for Odoo to reorder and bring the number back to zero. With how 0,0 works in mind, here's a Jose quick tip: Click on this awesome little "i" and that'll take you to a lead time breakdown to get a better idea of when we can expect the finished product.
which is a forecasted date, but like with all things such as forecasts. . .
Forecasts on the Replenishment Info page calculate estimated dates based on lead time values (from the product form) and global Security lead times and then they output those estimated date values in calendar days meaning they don't take work center working time into account. Now let's tackle days to supply components. So let's take a look at the Bill of Materials, or BOM (for my acronym lovers) For these Sturdy Tables so we're going to go back over here and select our Bill of Materials smart button and we're going to go right in there.
Beautiful we'll notice that the parts needed to build the table are the table legs and the large wood planks but next let's click on this Overview and would you look at that: Currently the Availability column for both the Sturdy Table and the table legs is showing "Not Available" because we haven't properly set up the Purchase Lead time for the table leg component. So let's take a look at the table legs directly from the Table now if we do that that'll actually open up the product form and then we're going to switch on over here to Purchase. And there's our problem!
We don't have a default vendor. In our case, we're going to use the one we've been working with a lot. and they said those were five dollars, and our delivery lead time is-- four days all right beautiful.
Everything is set up. manual cloud save up here okay so if we go back to the BOM Overview in our case using the breadcrumbs (which today are sourdough) Ah, look at that! It went from "Not Available" to giving us estimated dates and that's because now that the lead time for the table legs is set up, the report has been updated with an availability for both of them and it tells us the exact estimated date that we anticipate finishing manufacturing the table Beautiful!
So based on the lead time set previously that we have over here the earliest date will have the finished product is in nine days. because even if we ordered the components today, the large wood plank comes in two days and the table legs come in four days. I'd also like to make a quick note that the component with the longest lead time is used to calculate the Days to Prepare Manufacturing order, and I'm going to show you what that means.
So in our case, we're actually going to go back to the Sturdy table product page using the breadcrumbs and it's the leftmost one at this point all right, now that we're here in the Logistics area you'll notice we could either manually select Days to Prepare Manufacturing order or compute from BoM and boom-- would you look at that? Beautiful It pulls four days, which was the longest lead time to manufacture or purchase the components from the BOM. Now this is helpful when you have tons of components and lead times.
and now I'm going to show you a quick summary of all of that. Alright so in summary, the 14-day customer lead time is a default timeline for producing a Sturdy Table Five days from when we've placed a Sales Order, we get an alert on the Replenishment Report to create a Manufacturing Order. Now this triggers 0,0 to get our parts from the vendor, which arrives on the ninth day (June 1st).
This date is also the scheduled date on the MO, which is the last day to begin manufacturing the Study Table to ship it on time on June 6th, Odoers. but let's see how this works when we create a sales order for a different product, our Drftwood table which has all of the lead times set up exactly like the Sturdy Table we were working on earlier. Alright, so here we are, and we're gonna make a new quotation.
and in this case our customer Tom Hanks wants to order one Drftwood Table because he *cast away* his last one Perfect-- Drftwood table. . .
and we are all set. Alright now, Tom Hanks while we're determining the delivery date tells us hey I really don't want to wait even one extra day. I'm anticipating my first meal with Wilson on this table Let's not disappoint him.
In our 14-day timeline for our regular customers, we don't even order components until the fifth day. Skipping all of the waiting, we'll use the BOM Overview to give them an estimate of the soonest available table so we're going to go directly using our internal link just for him; because we're trying to be very kind [click] Bill of Materials in there. .
and (BoM) Overview all right now-- Boom! The date's right there. The finished table will be ready in seven days; two days earlier than the Forecasted Date I showed you before.
and that's because I have all the table legs in stock so I only need to wait two days to prepare the other components Combined, we get five days to manufacture the table over here using the lead times. and then-- we can finish it in seven days. Now this report can give accurate time estimates for different quantities as well.
Now if Tom wanted-- let's say another table-- you'll see and we click up here and we do, two-- something else happens. The Forecasted Date is updated now to show us a longer time because we'd have to wait the full four days for Vintage Goods to ship the table legs so we promised Tom that he will receive his table 11 days from now, the Estimated Date, May 30th, on the BoM Overview tells us we can ship the table out of our workshop in seven days we only need two days to procure components and five days to manufacture. We check the distance from our workshop in San Francisco to Tom's location and verbally told him to expect the package on June 3rd, four days from the Estimated Date.
Then if we go back over here to the Sales Order. . .
Now in this new one, we go inside of Other Info (tab). . down here to Delivery Date and we're going to set this to seven days from today.
Perfect. would you look at that! Remember, the Delivery Date is the day you're planning to ship the finished product out of your workshop.
We'll get an alert since we set the product to deliver sooner than the 14 days we sat on the Customer Lead Time shown as the Expected Date down below. but we can actually just ignore it because you, Odoers, have the power! Now we can save, confirm this and we're done.
Boom! Since we set our Drftwood Table with a 0,0 Reordering Rule, the need will show up on the Replenishment Page inside of our Inventory app go to Operations > Replenishment and there we are, Odooers! Now with this "To Reorder" filter up here, we only see tasks that need to be done.
and this one needs to be done right now so let's reorder by selecting "Order Once" and what did that just do, Odoers? Well Odoo generates a Manufacturing Order for us. Would you look at that!
Let's hop in there. And looking into this on this MO to build one Drftwood Table, we could see the Scheduled Date is three days from now since we need two days to get the component. And would you look at that.
We have a Purchase Order since we set up the 0,0 reordering rules for the components. Odoo automatically creates POs for the components that we're missing. now as you'll see the Order Deadline is tomorrow but we're just going to order it, in our case because we need it ASAP.
And if we head back over here to our Manufacturing Order. . .
you'll finally see that in yellow over here that the large wood planks are expected in three days. Now the Scheduled Date is still indicating the latest start time for the production to ensure on-time delivery. Since we already ordered the components, we can begin building once they arrive so we're on track to finish before the May 30th deadline.
Beautiful, Odoo-ers, and there you have it! Odoo makes estimating dates and planning productions easy. While 0,0 gives you a comprehensive view of scheduled dates to ensure timely manufacturing .
Now check out our other videos on planning and the Master Production Schedule coming out soon, for more scheduling features. Goodbye for now Odoo-ers ~ Go grab a snack. And if no one's told you today, you're doing great.
