Know the true cost of every repair before it starts
Repair Costing Sheet for Repair Order builds a complete labor, material and outsourcing estimate on every repair order, tracks actual cost as work happens, and flags overruns before they eat your margin.
The problem
Odoo's native Repair module tracks parts and status but never rolls costs into a real estimate. Shop managers reconcile labor hours, parts costs and outsourced work by hand in spreadsheets, quote from gut feel, and only discover a job lost money after it is invoiced — if they check at all.
The solution
Repair Costing Sheet for Repair Order adds a single costing sheet to every repair order with labor, material and outsourcing lines, estimated and actual costs side by side, live margin and variance, and one-click overrun alerts — so every quote is defensible and every job's profitability is visible before close-out.
Everything a shop needs to price and control a repair
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
One costing sheet per repair order
Build a job estimate with itemized labor, material and outsourcing lines on a single sheet linked one-to-one with the repair order, so quoting starts before a single part is consumed.
Automatic actuals sync
One click pulls the parts actually consumed on the repair order into matching material lines, so actual cost reflects reality instead of manual re-keying.
Labor rate tables by skill
Configure hourly cost and price per technician skill level (Junior, Senior, Master) and apply them to labor lines with one selection instead of guessing a flat rate.
Outsourced & subcontract costs
Third-party and subcontracted work is a first-class line type on every sheet, so the largest hidden cost driver on complex jobs is never left out of the estimate.
Estimate vs. actual profitability
See estimated cost, actual cost, margin and variance side by side on the same sheet, so a manager knows at close-out — not months later — whether the job made money.
Proactive cost overrun alerts
A configurable overrun threshold flags a sheet the moment actual cost outpaces the estimate, with an on-form alert banner and an activity assigned to the responsible user — no more discovering losses after the fact.
Multi-currency quotes with tax
Quote in any currency and apply real sale taxes to the quoted total, so international and tax-varied shops get a correct, ready-to-send number every time.
Reusable cost templates
Load a pre-built labor, material and outsourcing template for a recurring repair type onto any sheet in one click, then adjust — standard jobs stop starting from a blank sheet.
Branded customer document & audit trail
Send a branded PDF (or export to Excel) with work performed, cost tables, warranty terms, before/after photos and a digital sign-off, backed by a full change-log for every edit.
