Odoo Manufacturing vs. Process XE

Out of the box, Odoo Manufacturing has a lot of functionality and the flexibility to change the app on demand to meet your requirements. You can even change the MO requirements on demand, such as substituting one material for another. The only criticism I have is that child MOs (manufacturing orders) do not get listed more clearly. Out of the box, there is no way to jump to a child-MO from the parent-MO. That said, we largely mitigated this problem by linking all MO's together according to the sales order using studio. Our version, 13, there is a bug that when you reduce a material requirement (in order to substitute with another) it still tries to consume the original quantity. This has been fixed in version 14.

Process XE is user-friendly for entry level person as it is having section lock feature to minimize the operator error. Most useful benifit is paper minimize and it's archival. Process XE less appropriate when un availability due to unavailability of the server as it's cloud software. Also re entry multiple times when same equipment is used at multiple places in batch record as it shall be auto fetched.

We had previously used xTuple ERP for manufacturing. Odoo ERP is a big step up as well as a big savings. xTuple did have a robust manufacturing offering, but the Odoo Studio allowed us to do things we could never have done with xTuple, like integrate the BoO. xTuple never tracked product transfers either, so you had to manually track requirements or do detective work to figure things out. Odoo is a big improvement on that.

Easy documentation and support during the development was better with Process XE compare to former. Also prompt response and easy meeting in person as it is nearby in same location. Cost effective is also played important role.
