Odoo Manufacturing vs. SAP S/4HANA Cloud

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.

• The complex integration we have with ERPs make it difficult to move or upgrade to SAP S4 HANA. Reimplementing all integrations and not impact business is a challenge
• Requires a lot of tedious testing so that no role or function is impacted
• Very time consuming to implement or upgrade. For large corporations it would take years to slowly migrate to S4HANA

The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

The technical support received by the ITT design teams and OS implementation team has been very useful in ensuring that the SAP ERP is well-tailored to our company's specific needs and operations. This coupled with the training materials, business process maps, and concept demos (sand-box demos) makes adoption easy on end-users.

Implementation was as expected. We had minor issues with our Z* transactions, but nothing special. Some tables were extended and needed regeneration. Overall satisfactions is good.

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.

In our quest for an ERP solution, we evaluated alternatives such as Oracle ERP Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365. However, SAP S/4HANA Cloud's reputation for advanced analytics, scalability, and seamless integration with other SAP solutions made it the natural choice for our organization's digital journey.

• Cost Savings and Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):
• While the initial implementation costs might be significant, the centralized data management and automation features can lead to cost savings over time. This might be achieved through reduced manual labor, better inventory control, optimized procurement processes, and streamlined operations, resulting in a lower TCO.
• Better Visibility and Compliance:
• The system's ability to offer comprehensive data visibility can enhance compliance efforts, mitigating risks and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements. This can lead to reduced fines or penalties related to non-compliance issues.
