Multi Final Product in Manufacturing

Produce multiple finished goods from a single MO

• This module allows multiple final products to be produced in a single manufacturing order.

• Ideal for companies where the production process yields more than one finished product, such as in the food, chemical, or recycling industries.

Industries That Commonly Use This

• Food Industry – e.g., milk producing both cream and skim milk.

• Recycling Industry – breaking down materials into reusable outputs.

• Chemical Industry – where reactions produce multiple compounds.

• Mining – where a process yields several types of minerals.

Feature Overview

• New Toggle Option: multi_final_product_production on the Manufacturing Order (mrp.production)

• When enabled, the system allows linking and managing multiple final products per MO.

Step 1: Activate Multi-Product Toggle

• Begin by enabling the toggle on the Manufacturing Order. This unlocks support for multiple final products in the process.

Step 2: Fill Stock Move Lines

• Before the order is processed, the stock.move.line records must be filled.

• These represent the lines that indicate what will be consumed and what will be produced during manufacturing.

• It is crucial for real quantity tracking and lot/serial registration.

Step 3: Review Stock Moves (Post-Processing)

• Once the Manufacturing Order is confirmed and processed, the system automatically generates stock.move records.

• These moves show the flow of materials – both inputs and outputs. With this module, multiple outputs are supported.

Automatic Final Product Association

• Each product.product can optionally have a field final_product_id that links it to a default final product.

• When selecting such a product during manufacturing, the system auto-fills the appropriate final product line in the move.

Before and After Comparison

Examples

Example 1 – Food Industry

• This example shows how 1000L of milk can be processed into two final products: 850L of skim milk and 150L of cream.

Example 2 – Mining Industry

• In mining, 5 tons of crushed ore can yield multiple valuable outputs like gold and silver concentrate, plus a byproduct such as rock waste.

Benefits

• More accurate cost distribution and inventory management

• Useful for industries with complex output chains

• Improves traceability and reporting

How to Use

1. Install the module

2. Activate the multi_final_product_production checkbox on a MO

3. Fill in the stock move lines with input and expected outputs

4. Process the manufacturing order to generate final stock moves

5. Use final_product_id in product.product to automate final-product assignments
