Delays

Odoo’s Manufacturing app displays delays in manufacturing orders through the Delayed Productions filter. If the MO’s end date exceeds its deadline, the deadline is highlighted in red to draw attention to the delay.

The delayed production filter in Odoo.

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.

중요

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

The end date is computed as:

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

Several additional filters are available to help track delays:

  • Delayed Productions: the MO’s scheduled start date is later than the deadline.

  • Late: the MO’s scheduled end date exceeds the deadline, highlighted in red.

  • 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.

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 appears in the Late filter.

An MO with the deadline emphasized.

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