Managing production with Odoo 
We can go ahead with the production process in the manufacturing industry on the completion of the manufacturing order. That means production can be started only after the completion of the manufacturing order. We have already described the creation and management of manufacturing orders in another blog. Any doubts regarding this you can check our blogs. 
Assume that we have confirmed the Manufacturing order or MO. Our next task is the production of the selected product. For this we have to check manufacturing orders. To do this let us go to this, Go to Manufacturing > Operations > Manufacturing Orders. We can find all the manufacturing orders listed here. In the next step we choose the order we want to complete.

Here we can see the Start button and Block button. We can make use of these buttons to manage production. Once we click the start button there will be a change in the status. The status will change from ready to In Progress. Then we get an additional button Pause. That means we can pause the production process if we want to use this button.

Besides, we can also use the Done button when the production process is completed. The Block Button which is red in color can be used to block the production or stop the production. 
The moment we click the BLOCK button we will be redirected to a new page. This page gives us an option to enter the reason for blocking the process. This can be added to the Loss Reason. We can also add a description here. This is used to block the work center activity. After adding loss reason and description we can choose the red Block button to complete the process.
