About this Product
Standardize how work gets done on your shop floor. This build-to-order Odoo module turns every routing operation into a rich digital work instruction — illustrated steps, embedded images and PDFs, video links, and mandatory checklists — displayed to operators directly in the Manufacturing (MRP) work-order tablet view. No more paper travelers, no more tribal knowledge, no more "the way Ahmed does it."
ECOSIRE designs, builds and installs this module for your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 database (Community or Enterprise). It extends Odoo's native routing and work-order models rather than replacing them: a new ecosire.work.instruction model links revisions to mrp.routing.workcenter operations, so instructions appear automatically the moment an operator opens the matching work order. Because it is built on standard Odoo ORM (models.Model, fields, @api.depends computes), views (XML/OWL), security (ir.model.access.csv + record rules) and QWeb reporting, everything lives inside your ERP — searchable, auditable, and available over XML-RPC/JSON-RPC for downstream systems.
The result: faster onboarding, consistent quality, and a defensible audit trail. New hires follow the same illustrated sequence a senior operator would; every acknowledgement and captured issue is timestamped against the manufacturing order for traceability. This is not an instant-download app from apps.odoo.com — it is a scoped engagement (typical lead time one working week) where we tailor the instruction layout, checklist logic, revision-approval flow and reports to your actual products and routings, then hand over clean, documented code you own.
What you get
- A complete, installable Odoo module (proper __manifest__.py declaring dependencies on mrp; models, views, security, data and QWeb report files) delivered to your GitHub repo or server
- Configuration of your real routings — instructions, steps, checklists and revisions wired to your live operations and products (agreed scope of operations covered)
- Security setup: ir.model.access.csv access rules and record rules for author, approver and operator roles mapped to your existing Odoo groups
- QWeb printable worksheet report template branded to your company for offline stations and audits
- Technical + admin documentation: how to add instructions, publish a revision, read the audit trail, and extend the module
- A live training session (recorded) for authors/engineers and a short operator walkthrough
- Deployment to your Odoo 17/18/19 environment (staging then production) with an upgrade-safe install, plus source code and ownership handed to you
- A post-go-live support window (bug fixes and adjustments) with an option to extend into a maintenance/SLA plan
Who this is for
Manufacturing / Production Manager
Wants consistent output and a shorter path from hire to productive operator. Uses the module to standardize every operation, cut training time, and prove that the approved method was actually followed on each manufacturing order.
Manufacturing / Process Engineer (instruction author)
Owns the how-to for each operation. Authors illustrated steps, manages revisions through a controlled approval flow, and reviews operator-reported issues to continuously improve the work instructions without waiting on a developer.
Quality / Compliance Lead
Needs traceability and an audit trail. Relies on timestamped acknowledgements, version history and printable QWeb worksheets to demonstrate that current, approved instructions were in force and confirmed by the operator for each order.
Shop-floor Operator / Team Lead
Needs clear, unambiguous guidance at the machine. Follows illustrated steps on the work-order tablet view, confirms mandatory checklist items, and reports a problem at the exact step in one tap — in their own language.
How Production Worksheet & Digital Work Instructions Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Native to Odoo MRP work orders (shows in the operator tablet view automatically) | Yes — extends mrp.routing.workcenter and appears in the work-order view natively | Possible, but you build the integration yourself | Varies — many bolt on a separate screen rather than the native work order | Partial support |
| Rich media: images, PDFs and video links per step | Yes — attachments + embedded external video, rendered inline | Only if you develop and maintain it | Often images only; PDF/video support varies | Not included |
| Mandatory checklist / acknowledgement enforced before 'Done' | Yes — server-side Python constraint on mrp.workorder | Achievable but must be coded and tested by you | Sometimes; enforcement depth varies by app | Not included |
| Version-controlled revisions with approval state machine + full history | Yes — draft/approved/active/superseded, prior versions retained | You design and maintain the whole workflow | Basic versioning at best in most listings | Not included |
| Operator issue capture at the exact step, linked to the order | Yes — one-tap report, timestamped and traceable | Custom development required | Rarely included | Not included |
| Tailored to your real routings, products and approval roles | Yes — configured to your operations during the build | Yes, but at full in-house cost and timeline | No — generic; you adapt to its assumptions | Not included |
| You own the source code and can extend it | Yes — clean, documented code handed over | Yes | No — vendor-controlled, license-gated | n/a — core, not modifiable without customization |
| Support, updates and version-upgrade path (17→18→19) | Yes — post-go-live window + optional maintenance/SLA | You maintain it yourself | Depends on vendor; upgrade timing not guaranteed | Odoo core upgrades only; no instruction features to carry |
Frequently Asked Questions about Production Worksheet & Digital Work Instructions
How long until it's live, and what's the process?
This is a build-to-order engagement, not an instant download. Typical lead time is one working week depending on how many operations and routings we configure. The flow is: scoping call and requirements sign-off, build on our side, review on your staging database, then deployment to production with training. You get progress checkpoints throughout — nothing ships to production until you approve it on staging.
What support and updates do I get after go-live?
Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for bug fixes and adjustments. Because you receive the full source code and own it, you're never locked in. We also offer optional maintenance/SLA plans covering Odoo version upgrades (e.g. moving your instructions module from 17 to 18 or 19), new operations, and enhancements. Update requests are scoped and quoted transparently.
Which Odoo versions and editions does this support?
Odoo 17, 18 and 19, on both Community and Enterprise. The module depends only on the standard Manufacturing (mrp) app, so it works whether or not you have Enterprise. We target your exact running version and test the install on a copy of your database before touching production.
Will this conflict with our existing manufacturing setup or customizations?
No. The module extends Odoo's native routing and work-order models (mrp.routing.workcenter, mrp.workorder) additively rather than overwriting core behavior, and we install it upgrade-safe. During scoping we review your current MRP customizations so the instruction views and checklist logic layer cleanly on top. If you have existing customizations, we account for them in the build plan.
Can operators be forced to acknowledge instructions before completing an operation?
Yes. Mandatory checklist and acknowledgement steps are enforced with a server-side Python constraint on the work order — the operation cannot be marked Done until required items are confirmed. Every acknowledgement is timestamped and linked to the manufacturing order, giving you an audit trail rather than an honor system.
How do instruction revisions and approvals work?
Each instruction has a controlled lifecycle — draft, approved, active, superseded — with only one active revision per operation at a time. Authors edit a draft, an approver promotes it, and the previous version is retained (never deleted) with author, date and change note captured in Odoo's chatter. Operators always see the current active revision, and you keep full history for compliance.
Can we pull this data into other systems?
Yes. All models are exposed over Odoo's standard XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs, so a kiosk app, MES, BI tool or reporting layer can read instruction content and acknowledgement/issue records. We can also add scoped API endpoints or automated actions (e.g. push a Slack/email alert on a reported issue) as part of the build.
