Can Odoo handle subcontracting operations?

Odoo Manufacturing software manages subcontracting workflows by tracking materials sent to external partners, monitoring production progress, and receiving finished components back into inventory. The Odoo MRP system generates purchase orders for subcontracting services, automatically deducts provided materials from stock, and updates costs based on agreed rates. Users can maintain approved subcontractor lists, define service BOMs specifying which operations external partners perform, and track quality metrics by supplier. Integration with purchase management ensures smooth communication and payment processing for subcontracting services.
