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."
Step-by-step illustrated work instructions attached to each routing operation (mrp.routing.workcenter), auto-shown in the work-order tablet/OWL view
Embedded rich media per step — images and PDFs stored as Odoo attachments (ir.attachment), plus external video links (YouTube/Vimeo/Loom) rendered inline
Mandatory checklist and acknowledgement steps: the operator cannot mark an operation Done until required boxes are confirmed, enforced with a Python constraint on mrp.workorder
Version-controlled instruction revisions with a draft → approved → active → superseded state machine; only one active revision per operation at a time
Full revision history and diff visibility — every prior version is retained and viewable, with author, approval date and change note captured via Odoo chatter (mail.thread)
Operator feedback and issue capture at the exact step — a one-tap 'report problem' action creates a timestamped record linked to the workorder, product and step for engineering follow-up
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 2–4 weeks) 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Buy the license on ecosire.com and download the Production Worksheet & Digital Work Instructions module ZIP from your account dashboard.
Extract the ZIP into your Odoo custom addons folder on the server (or upload via Apps > Install from file on Odoo.sh / runbot).
Activate Developer Mode, open Apps, click Update Apps List, search for Production Worksheet & Digital Work Instructions, and press Install.
Open the new menu, paste your ECOSIRE license key, connect any external credentials (Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, etc.), and save.
Run the built-in connection test, sync your first 10 records, and schedule the recurring cron. Contact support if anything fails.
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| Operator issue capture at the exact step, linked to the order | Yes — one-tap report, timestamped and traceable | Custom development required | Rarely 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 | |
| You own the source code and can extend it | Yes — clean, documented code handed over | Yes | No — vendor-controlled, license-gated | |
| 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 |
This is a build-to-order engagement, not an instant download. Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
