Odoo allows you to create products that have variants. For example, we can have T-shirts that come in various sizes and colors. In manufacturing operations, it is common to require different processes based on variants of a product. Screen printing is no different. You may need to alternate the process if the shirt is white versus a shirt that is black or you may have a different press for large t-shirts as opposed to small t-shirts. Let's see how you can configure Odoo to change the routings based on product variants.

First, you must go into the Sales application and under Settings, check the Attributes and Variants options. Now, you can click Attributes to set up some variants for us to use for our example.

Now that we have set up our Attributes, we can go to our product and specify the variant values our product comes in. In this example, we have specified the shirt can come in Black or White:

Now, we can configure a bill of materials and routing based on which color we need to produce:

Notice how we were able to specify an alternate Routing for the Black product variant. Using this method, you can get a great deal of control over how you manage the production of your products.
