Manufacturing Cost Analysis & Variance

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant apps.odoo.com download. After purchase we scope your costing conventions and configuration, then build, test, and install the addon. Typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on complexity — for example, the number of work centers, your overhead absorption logic, and how customized your standard-costing setup already is. We deploy to a staging environment for your sign-off before touching production.

Every build comes with a defined post-go-live support window covering bug fixes and configuration questions. Because you receive the full source and own the module, you can maintain it yourself or retain ECOSIRE for ongoing support and for compatibility work when you upgrade across Odoo minor or major versions. We can also quote an extended support and maintenance retainer if you prefer us to own updates long-term.

It works with both, on Odoo 17, 18, and 19. The module extends the standard Manufacturing (mrp) and Accounting apps and does not depend on Enterprise-only features for its core variance and WIP logic. During scoping we confirm your exact edition and version so the __manifest__.py dependencies and any view inheritance target your environment precisely.

We extend mrp.production and mrp.workorder with stored computed fields (recomputed via @api.depends on component moves, time logs, and analytic entries) that freeze the standard cost at MO confirmation and roll up the actual cost at close. Each variance category is written to a dedicated cost.variance.line record and decomposed into price vs. quantity, rate vs. efficiency, and overhead spending vs. volume — so nothing is hidden in a single lump figure. Scrap and rework are costed separately from stock scrap moves.

Yes. All variance fields and the cost.variance.line records are exposed through Odoo's XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API and are available in native pivot and graph views. Your BI stack — Power BI, a data warehouse, or spreadsheets — can pull the figures directly, and we can advise on the cleanest extract pattern during handover.

No, unless you want them to. Access is controlled with ir.model.access.csv grants and record rules, so variance and margin data is scoped to cost-accounting and plant-management groups. Shop-floor operators can log time and consumption on their work orders without ever seeing cost or variance information.
