Disassembling or “unbuilding” a manufactured product involves the process of breaking down a product into its parts or components. In some rare instances, manufacturing businesses may need to perform this operation, particularly when dealing with purchased items. It is essential to maintain a record of such unbuilding activities for accurate inventory management. Odoo 16 Manufacturing provides a solution for creating unbuild orders to handle these scenarios effectively.

Odoo allows you to manage unbuild orders separately and create unbuild orders specifically for items that have been acquired or purchased.

Upon clicking the “unbuild” button, a smart button named “product moves” becomes visible and by accessing it you can review the details of each component utilized in the disassembled product.

The “Stock Moves” shows information such as the component’s date, reference, product, lot/serial number, quantity, unit, and more.

This module is particularly valuable for large manufacturing enterprises as it enables them to swiftly disassemble defective products, manage their removal, and seamlessly reintegrate them into the raw material inventory with comprehensive record-keeping capabilities.
