Know which customer every project and MO belongs to
Group and filter projects by Customer, bulk-assign customers to existing projects in one click, and trace every Manufacturing Order back to the client it is for — without opening a single record.
The problem
Teams running projects and manufacturing in Odoo lose track of which customer a job belongs to. The customer is not consistently visible across lists, kanban cards, or tasks, and it never reaches the Manufacturing Orders that a project spawns — so shop-floor and finance staff cannot answer "which client is this production run for?" without manual cross-referencing. Existing projects have no way to be updated in bulk once the gap is noticed.
The solution
Project Customer Name adds a Customer group-by to the project search, a one-click bulk-assignment wizard for existing projects, and a stored Customer field on Manufacturing Orders that is automatically derived from the linked project. The customer field stays optional, so internal and speculative projects are never forced to carry one.
Everything you need for customer traceability
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Group Projects by Customer
A new Customer group-by on the project search lets you manage a multi-client pipeline at a glance, including a clear bucket for projects that have no customer yet.
One-Click Bulk Assignment
Select any number of projects and assign a customer to all of them at once from the Actions menu — apply only to projects without a customer, or overwrite every selected project.
Manufacturing Order Traceability
A stored, read-only Customer field on Manufacturing Orders is derived automatically from the linked project, so production staff can always trace a run back to the client it is for.
Customer Column on MO List
See the customer for every Manufacturing Order right in the list view, without opening each order to check its linked project.
Filter & Group MOs by Customer
A Customer filter and group-by on the Manufacturing Order search let production planners slice the shop floor by client in seconds.
Customer Subtitle on the Project
A read-only customer line under the project title keeps the client in view while you work, without cluttering the header.
Customer Stays Optional
Internal, R&D, and speculative projects are never forced to carry a customer — the field remains optional everywhere.
How it works
Set the customer
Set the Customer on a project as usual, or leave it blank for internal work.
Bulk-assign the rest
Select existing customer-less projects and assign a customer to all of them in one wizard.
Manufacture against it
Confirm a Manufacturing Order from a BoM linked to the project — the customer carries through automatically.
Filter & report
Group and filter projects and Manufacturing Orders by Customer across your whole pipeline.
Frequently asked

No. The Customer field stays fully optional, so internal, R&D, and speculative projects can exist without ever being forced to carry a customer.
