Give customers a live view of their manufacturing orders — no phone calls required.
A self-service portal that shows manufacturing order status, scheduled dates, work orders, and components — automatically visible to the right customer, the moment their order changes.
The problem
Customers who place production orders have no way to check progress except by calling or emailing your sales and planning team. Every status update becomes a manual lookup in Odoo, and every competing portal app still requires staff to hand-pick which customer sees which order before it ever appears.
The solution
Customer Portal Manufacturing Orders adds a self-service status page to your customer portal. Access is granted automatically from the originating sales order, so customers see their production status, scheduled dates, work orders, and components the moment an order is confirmed — with zero backend setup per order.
Everything customers need to track production
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Zero-Touch Customer Access
Each manufacturing order's Customer field auto-fills from the linked sales order, so portal visibility is granted automatically — no manual per-order assignment like every competing app requires.
Manual Override & Bulk Assignment
The auto-filled Customer field stays fully editable and can be bulk-updated from the list view, covering orders with no linked sales order or that need reassignment.
Portal Order List with Search, Sort & Group
Customers browse their manufacturing orders with a status filter, sorting by reference or scheduled date, and grouping by status or product.
Live Status Badges
Draft, confirmed, in progress, done, and cancelled states render as color-coded badges so customers see production progress at a glance.
Order Detail with Scheduled Dates
Each order's detail page shows scheduled start, deadline, and finished dates alongside the responsible user, source document, and bill of materials.
Work Order Drill-Down
Customers can drill into the work orders behind their manufacturing order, seeing each operation, work center, expected duration, and status.
Components Table
A components table lists the materials being consumed into the order — product, demand, and consumed quantities — without exposing cost or price data.
One-Click PDF Download
Customers download or print an official production order document straight from the detail page using Odoo's own report engine.
Automatic Status Notifications
Customers are notified by portal message and email the moment their order starts production and again when it completes — no login required to learn the news.
How it works
Confirm the Sales Order
A customer's sales order is confirmed and Odoo Manufacturing creates the linked manufacturing order automatically.
Customer Access Granted Automatically
The manufacturing order's Customer field auto-fills from the sales order, instantly granting that customer portal visibility.
Customer Tracks Progress
The customer logs into the portal and sees status, scheduled dates, work orders, and components for their order at any time.
Customer Gets Notified & Downloads the PDF
As production starts and completes, the customer is notified automatically and can download the manufacturing order as a PDF for their records.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
No. This is a read-only, self-service view. Customers can see status, dates, work orders, components, and download a PDF, but cannot edit or create manufacturing orders from the portal.
