Change What You Produce, Without Losing the Order

Adjust the finished-product quantity on any manufacturing order in Odoo MRP — mid-run or before production starts — with component-shortage checks, cost-impact previews, and a full audit trail. No cancelling, no rebuilding, no guesswork.

The problem

Odoo assumes the planned quantity on a manufacturing order is final. Real production rarely is: a batch runs short on materials, a supervisor decides to use up leftover stock, or a food, chemical, or casting process simply yields more or less than planned. Changing the target today means cancelling the order and rebuilding it from scratch, discarding history and forcing a manual, error-prone recalculation of every component line.

The solution

This app lets you change the finished-product quantity on any in-progress or draft manufacturing order without recreating it. Component requirements rescale automatically, a preview shows shortages and cost impact before you confirm, and every change is logged with who, when, old quantity, and new quantity — so nothing is lost and nothing is hidden.

Capabilities

Everything a variable-output shop floor needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Edit Quantity Without Recreating the Order

Change the target finished quantity on any confirmed, in-progress, or to-close manufacturing order directly — the order, its history, and its links stay intact.

02

Proportional Component Recalculation

Raw material and by-product moves rescale automatically to the new quantity, using Odoo's native manufacturing engine so the bill of materials always matches what is actually being produced.

03

Component Shortage Preview

Before you confirm an increase, see exactly which components fall short of what is on hand, with the shortfall quantity for each — so you never commit to a batch you cannot build.

04

Material Cost Impact Preview

A live preview shows how the new quantity changes total material cost, in absolute terms and as a percentage, before the change is applied.

05

Minimum Batch Enforcement

Set a minimum viable batch size per product. Quantity changes that would fall below it are blocked with a clear message, protecting process integrity.

06

Planned-vs-Adjusted Variance Tracking

The original planned quantity is preserved alongside the current one, with the variance and variance percentage shown directly on the manufacturing order for instant yield visibility.

07

Full Audit Trail

Every quantity change is logged with the user, timestamp, previous and new quantity, cost impact, and an optional reason — accessible from a smart button on the order.

08

Batch Adjustment Across Multiple Orders

Select several manufacturing orders from the list and apply a percentage, fixed, or absolute quantity change to all of them in one step — orders that would drop below their minimum are automatically skipped and reported.

09

Downstream Fulfilment Warning

When a decrease could under-supply a linked delivery, the affected transfers are listed before you confirm, so shortfalls are caught early instead of discovered later.

Workflow

How it works

1

Open the Quantity Wizard

From a manufacturing order — or by selecting several from the list — open the quantity-change wizard.

2

Review the Preview

Enter the new quantity and review component availability, shortages, cost impact, and any minimum-batch warning before confirming.

3

Confirm the Change

Components rescale automatically, the order updates, and any downstream fulfilment impact is surfaced if you are reducing the quantity.

4

Track the History

Review the planned-vs-adjusted variance and the full change log anytime from the manufacturing order's smart button.

Questions

Frequently asked

No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.

Yes. The app depends only on the standard mrp, stock, and product modules — no Enterprise-only features — so it installs and behaves identically on Community and Enterprise.
