Delays

Odoo’s Manufacturing app displays delays in manufacturing orders through the Delayed Productions filter. If the MO is delayed, it is highlighted in red on the list view of manufacturing orders, to draw attention to the delay.

Deadline calculation

The MO deadline depends on how the MO was created, and is calculated as follows:

• Make To Order: the MO deadline is the Sales Order Delivery Date.

• Replenishment: the MO deadline is today + Manufacturing Lead Time.

• Manually created MO: the deadline field remains empty.

Important

The MO deadline is not the same as the MO end date.

The end date is computed as:

\[\text{End date} = \text{Scheduled start date} +\text{Total duration of all operations}\]

Filters

Several additional filters are available in the Search… bar, on the list of manufacturing orders, to help track delays:

• Delayed Productions: the MO is either late (see below), or has one or more components with a delayed delivery.

• Late Availability: one or more required components are not available before the deadline. For example, a confirmed purchase order or manufacturing order for components is scheduled to end after the MO deadline.

• Components Available: all components are available to begin production.

An MO is considered late when it is confirmed or in progress, and its deadline has already passed, or its computed end date falls after the deadline. Late MOs are highlighted in red on list views.

Use case

Consider an MO with a deadline of September 17th:

• If production on the MO starts after September 17th, it appears in the Delayed Productions filter.

• If required components are scheduled to arrive after September 17th, the MO appears in the Late Availability filter.

• If the MO has a scheduled end date after September 17th, it is considered late, and its deadline is highlighted in red.

By combining these indicators, planners can quickly identify where production is at risk of missing delivery commitments.
