What is ERP for Inventory and Production?
A manufacturing inventory ERP connects material planning, inventory, purchasing and production with sales, finance and reporting in one system. A basic inventory tool just records stock; a genuine inventory and production ERP uses that data to decide what actually needs to be bought or made next. That’s also the real MRP versus ERP distinction: MRP handles material planning alone, ERP ties finance, inventory and production together. Nexevolve builds that connection on Odoo and Dynamics 365.
What Should an ERP for Inventory and Production Connect?
Choosing the right ERP inventory production management platform means understanding what it actually needs to connect end to end, from demand and materials through to production, costing and finance.
01 Demand & Material Planning
Sales orders, forecasts and production requirements feed into MRP, which combines demand, bills of materials, stock on hand and open supply to work out what actually needs to be made or bought next, the core job of any inventory and production ERP.
03 E-Invoicing & Material Reconciliation
02 Production, WIP & Quality
Production orders, work orders, routings and work centres drive execution, while WIP tracks material consumption, labour and operation progress, and quality manages inspection points, defects, lots and traceability, exactly where a genuine ERP for inventory and production management proves itself.
04Finished Goods, Costing & Finance
Production output flows into warehouse availability and fulfilment, while costing captures material, labour, overhead, WIP and variance, and a genuine production inventory management software ties inventory value, purchases and production costs back to COGS and profitability.
Odoo or Dynamics 365 for Inventory and Production
Choosing between Odoo and Dynamics 365 for inventory and production management software comes down to manufacturing complexity, warehouse depth, Microsoft ecosystem requirements and how much customisation the business actually needs, not brand recognition.
| Evaluation Area | Odoo | Dynamics 365 |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Reordering rules, replenish-on-order and manufacturing planning options | Master planning, replenishment strategies and production scheduling work from the same demand signal across warehouse and production |
| Production orders | Manufacturing orders use BOMs and work orders, with completion registering output directly to inventory | Production orders manage the conversion of materials into manufactured items, tied to routes, operations and resource scheduling |
| Inventory | Inventory and manufacturing workflows share the same stock data, so consumption and output update in real time | On-hand, available and reserved stock separated through reservation policies, integrated with production and warehouse processes |
| Typical selection question | Do you want modular breadth and flexible configuration across business applications? | Do you want Microsoft-centric ERP with structured, capacity-aware production scheduling? |
Why an ERP Partner Based in Australia Matters
Running inventory and production together doesn’t remove any compliance obligations, it just spreads them across two different parts of the business at once, from the warehouse floor to the shop floor, and a manufacturing inventory ERP needs to hold up on both sides.
01 Multi-Award Payroll & Superannuation
Manufacturing and warehouse staff are often covered by different awards and pay conditions within the same business, and STP and super still have to calculate correctly across both, not just whichever one was easier to configure.
03 E-Invoicing & Material Reconciliation
Manufacturing and warehouse staff are often covered by different awards and pay conditions within the same business, and STP and super still have to calculate correctly across both, not just whichever one was easier to configure.
02Warehouse & Shop Floor Hardware
Barcode scanners on the warehouse side and data capture at work centres on the production side both need to hold up under real use, and a system that only handles one half properly creates a blind spot right where inventory becomes production.
04 Data Hosting & Line Support
Where inventory and production data is hosted, and whether support can be reached in Australian business hours, matters more once a line stoppage and a stock discrepancy can both happen on the same day, exactly the scenario any real inventory and production management software has to be tested against.

How Nexevolve Approaches
Inventory and Production ERP
The Right ERP for Inventory and Production Starts With an Honest Fit Assessment, Not a Platform Pitch.
Before we talk about Odoo or Dynamics 365 specifically, we start with an honest fit assessment across how your inventory and production actually work together, from raw materials through to finished goods. The platform follows that picture; it doesn’t drive it.
Process Assessment
We map demand, purchasing, raw materials, warehouses, production, WIP, quality, finished goods and finance, so the design starts from how the business actually operates end to end, not a generic template.
01
Data & Master-Data Audit
Item masters, BOMs, routings, units, locations, suppliers and inventory accuracy all get reviewed, since a genuine inventory and production ERP is only as good as the master data feeding it.
02
ERP Fit Analysis
Odoo, Dynamics 365 and other relevant platforms get compared against your actual production workflows, not a feature checklist, so the recommendation is based on fit rather than familiarity.
03
Solution Design
We define MRP, replenishment, production orders, work centres, traceability, quality and costing, so the configuration matches how material actually moves from raw stock to finished goods.
04
Migration & Testing
Item masters, BOMs and routings get cleaned and migrated first, since bad master data breaks production planning faster than almost anything else, then tested against a full order-to-production-to-inventory run before go-live, not isolated features.
05
Go-Live & Optimisation
We train teams, manage cutover, validate the KPIs that actually matter, and stay engaged afterward, since the first production run and the first stock reconciliation are usually where configuration gaps in a production inventory management software rollout surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BOM in ERP?
A bill of materials (BOM) is the structured list of components, subassemblies and quantities needed to build a finished product, and it’s what a genuine manufacturing inventory ERP uses to work out material requirements, cost a product and consume stock correctly when a production order runs. Without an accurate BOM, everything downstream, from MRP to costing, is working off a guess.
Can ERP track batch and serial numbers?
Yes, both Odoo and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management track batch and serial numbers through production and into finished goods, so a specific component can be traced from receiving through to the customer it ended up with. That traceability is core to any real inventory and production ERP, not an add-on.
Is Odoo good for inventory and manufacturing?
Yes, Odoo’s Inventory and Manufacturing apps share the same data, so BOMs, work orders and stock consumption update together without manual re-entry. It’s a strong fit for SMEs and mid-market manufacturers wanting ERP inventory production management on one modular platform rather than stitching two systems together.
Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 good for inventory and manufacturing?
Yes, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management ties production orders, routes and work centres directly to inventory and costing, with master planning working from one demand signal across both. It suits mid-market to larger manufacturers, especially those already on Dynamics 365 or needing tighter finance-to-shop-floor integration, as a genuine ERP for inventory and production management should.
What is the best ERP for inventory and production in Australia?
There’s no single best platform, the right choice depends on production complexity, warehouse count, traceability needs and how tightly finance needs to connect to the shop floor. For most Australian mid-market manufacturers, Odoo and Dynamics 365 are the two most commonly shortlisted inventory and production management software options, with NetSuite, SAP Business One and Epicor as alternatives depending on scale.
How much does inventory and production ERP cost in Australia?
Cost depends on licensing, implementation, the number of warehouses and work centres, data migration, integrations and ongoing support, not licence price alone. Treat any quote given before a proper production inventory management software discovery process as a rough estimate, not a commitment.
How long does manufacturing ERP implementation take?
Timelines scale with complexity, a single-site business with clean master data can go live in a couple of months, while a multi-warehouse operation with complex BOMs and routings can take considerably longer. Master data quality and how much of the production process needs configuring are the biggest drivers either way for any inventory and production ERP project.
