Most manufacturing teams running Odoo can see a finished good's standard cost, but they cannot answer the harder question: what did this specific manufacturing order actually cost to produce? Odoo core values the MO from the BoM's component cost and, on Enterprise, adds work-center-based operation cost via mrp.workcenter.productivity, but it does not give you a single, auditable cost sheet that separates material, labor, and overhead per MO — nor does it let you layer plant overhead (electricity, depreciation, indirect labor, consumables) onto a run using a rate you control. Once real-world variance, scrap, over-consumption, and idle time enter the picture, the standard-cost picture and the shop-floor reality drift apart, and Finance ends up rebuilding costs in a spreadsheet.

This is what we build. Process Cost of Manufacturing Orders is a custom Odoo module that extends mrp.production with a computed cost breakdown that rolls up three streams onto each order: material (actual consumed quantities from stock.move valuation, not just BoM planned qty), labor (time posted to work orders via mrp.workorder/mrp.workcenter.productivity, priced at a configurable per-work-center or per-employee rate), and overhead (absorbed via a rate model you define — percentage of material, per labor hour, per machine hour, or a flat per-MO charge). The engine is a set of stored compute fields with tight @api.depends chains so figures recalculate when moves are done, work orders are closed, or overhead rates change, and a nightly ir.cron reconciliation catches late postings. We add a dedicated cost-sheet model and a QWeb PDF/HTML report that shows planned vs. actual by cost element with variance columns, plus optional posting of the overhead absorption to a configurable analytic account and journal so your account.move valuation reflects the loaded cost — not just raw material.

Technically it ships as a proper Odoo addon: a clean __manifest__.py declaring dependencies on mrp (and account/stock_account where financial posting is in scope), ORM models with indexed cost fields, ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so cost sheets respect multi-company and manufacturing-manager vs. operator visibility, XML/OWL views embedded on the MO form and a standalone cost-analysis list/pivot, and everything exposed through Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API so your BI tools or a Power BI connector can pull MO-level actuals. It targets Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, and we handle the Community vs. Enterprise difference explicitly — on Community we implement the work-order time capture the costing needs; on Enterprise we build on the existing MRP work-center analytics.

Because this is made to order, nothing is downloaded from an app store on day one. After a short scoping call we confirm exactly how your overhead rates, labor pricing, and financial posting should behave, then build against a copy of your database, hand you the source, install and configure it on staging for UAT, and go live. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company overhead rules, per-employee labor rates, deeper analytic/journal posting, localization of the cost report, and migration of historical MO cost data increase the quoted scope. You receive a fixed quote after the scoping call — never a surprise.
