Can Odoo track raw material consumption?

Odoo Manufacturing software provides raw material tracking through automated component reservation, backflushing based on finished products, and manual consumption recording options. The Odoo MRP system compares theoretical usage against consumption to calculate yield variances, identifying waste patterns or BOM inaccuracies requiring correction. Inventory levels update in real-time as materials are consumed, triggering replenishment suggestions when stock reaches reorder points. Component traceability features enable lot and serial number tracking from receipt through finished goods delivery.
