The Repair Module designed by Odoo can be easily integrated with the manufacturing module. This can also be integrated with the inventory module. We can use Odoo Repair with the inventory application in order to repair and manage the products stored in the inventory. The products may have to be stored in the inventory for a long period and then it may experience some technical issues or wear and tear. In such situations, we can use the integrated repair application for carrying out the repair work.
When it comes to the manufacturing module we can find the options to repair the product within the manufacturing module. Usually repairing service is offered to products which have a warranty. Repair service is usually offered to the customers after the purchase of the product. However, the manufacturers can also avail the repair service for improved operations.
Both these manufacturing and inventory systems work in close coordination with the repair module to ensure that each and every product manufactured and stored in the inventory reaches the customer without any damages. Thus we can integrate the repair module to carry out necessary repair work ahead of the sale of the product.
How to use the Repair module for manufacturing operations?
The Repair module which is integrated with the manufacturing module will enable the users to gather the details about the damaged products. This process can be carried out after a quality check. Because while performing quality check the products will be categorized into fully functional and damaged. While some of the products will be sent directly to the inventory if they pass the quality test, other products will be categorized as damaged products or scraps.
In a manufacturing industry, damaged products will be repaired. Scraps on the other hand will either be unassembled to make use of some of the parts or scrapped completely.
The Repair module integration will help your business to carry out the repair work of the damaged products and prevent the wastage of money. Timely repair of manufactured products will help the business. Let us see how to make use of Odoo Repair Module to manage Manufacturing operations.
To make use of this facility we will have to install the Odoo Repair module from the Odoo App store.

This includes the details of repair reference, product to repair, customer details, delivery address, warranty expiration, company name, the status of repair work, etc. We can also access details like quantity, unit of measures, responsible person, location etc also from this page.
A user or a person who handles the quality of the manufactured products can create a repair order using this feature. We can use the Create tab and then fill in the product details to go ahead with the repair of the product.
