A governed step before every Manufacturing Order
Product Manufacturing Request adds a lightweight approval layer between the moment someone spots a need to build and the moment a Manufacturing Order is committed to the shop floor — with quantity, priority and justification captured up front.
The problem
Anyone with Manufacturing rights can create an Order directly in Odoo — there is no request-and-approve step, so production commitments happen without review, without a documented reason, and without a clear hand-off between the person who spots the need and the manager accountable for capacity and materials.
The solution
Requesters draft a request with quantity, requested date, priority and justification, then submit it for review. A Manufacturing Manager approves it to auto-generate the Manufacturing Order, rejects it with a mandatory reason, or returns it for revision — every step logged in a full audit trail.
Everything a governed request needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Multi-Product Requests
Draft one request covering several products, each captured as its own line with quantity and unit of measure.
Complete Decision Data
Requested date, priority (Low/Normal/High/Urgent) and a written justification travel with every request, so approvers never chase details elsewhere.
Submit for Review
A dedicated Submit action hands the request from requester to manager without ever leaving the Manufacturing app.
One-Click Approval
Approving a request auto-generates one Manufacturing Order per line, linked back to the request that authorized it.
Reject or Return with Reason
A mandatory-reason wizard lets managers decline a request permanently or send it back to the requester for revision.
Manufacturing Order Back-Link
Every generated Order carries a smart button back to its source request, so production staff can trace every order to its origin.
Status Workflow, Audit Trail & PDF Report
Draft, Submitted, Approved and Rejected states, a chatter history of every action, and a printable PDF report of any request.
Role-Based Access Control
Dedicated Requester, Manufacturing User and Manufacturing Manager groups control exactly who can submit, view and approve.
In-App Onboarding Guide
A workflow diagram and a role/permission matrix help every new user understand the process from day one.
How it works
Request
The requester drafts a request: products, quantities, requested date, priority and justification.
Submit
The requester submits the draft for review and the status moves to Submitted.
Decide
A Manufacturing Manager approves, rejects, or returns the request for revision, always with a reason.
Produce
Approval auto-generates the Manufacturing Order(s), linked back to the request for tracking.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
Yes. When a Manufacturing Manager approves a request, the app generates one Manufacturing Order per product line and links each Order back to the originating request.
