Free Manufacturing ERP Software: Is Odoo Community Enough?
Free, open-source manufacturing ERP and MRP: what Odoo Community covers, what's Enterprise-only, and how to tell whether free is enough for your factory.
Manufacturing · Odoo ERP Services
Overview
Some manufacturing features are Enterprise-only, including quality control, product lifecycle management (PLM), the master production schedule and the shop-floor tablet app. Many small and mid-sized manufacturers run fine without them; we'll tell you honestly if you'd miss them.
Hosting isn't included. You pay your hosting provider directly.

FAQ
Yes. The Manufacturing app (MRP) is part of Odoo Community, which is free and open source. Some advanced features such as quality, PLM and the master production schedule need Enterprise.
No. The setup is free, but you pay for hosting yourself. Odoo runs on your own server or cloud account, and you pay the hosting provider directly. We'll recommend a size that suits your users and data.
For many small manufacturers, yes, especially for discrete production with clear BOMs. If you need heavy scheduling or quality workflows, compare Community with Enterprise first.
Yes, as a quoted extra. The free setup includes a sample of BOMs to prove the flow; a full migration is priced on volume and data quality.
