Hi,

I'm looking for a way to log what electrical test equipment (Test Rigs) are required for an individual (manufactured) product.

I need it to be the following, I have dev access (bug in top right corner) and Studio access:

  • Stored against each Revision of a BoM, not against the product record itself.
  • If this BoM is then up-issued to the next BoM rev. #, become empty on the new #.
  • Shown within the Manufacturing Order itself, in it's own tab.
  • The ability to enter multiple pieces on each BoM.
  • Printable on the Production Order PDF.
  • Need to be able to be imported from an already existing database.
  • The Test Rigs don't necessarily have to have their own product reference(s) from our side, but if this helps carry out the above, we can get these created.

Thank you

Hi All,
Thanks for both of your responses, so far I've been able to:
- create individual records for each Test Rig within the Maintenance Module
- create many2many fields within the Bill of Materials (linking to the equipment lists, broken down by which station they are used on)
- create a many2many field on the Manufacturing Order which pulls the data for the aforementioned equipment lists - this currently does require manual input, where I have to select the BoM/Version that we are building, how would I get this to automatically populate based on the Bill of Material field on the Manufacturing Order?
- create a file attachment field on the Bill of Material, how do I get this file to also show on the relevant Manufacturing Orders?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Ant,

Hello! It sounds like you are looking for a way to track the electrical test equipment required for each revision of a Bill of Materials (BoM) in Odoo. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create a custom module: First, create a custom module in Odoo to track the required test equipment for each BoM revision. You can use Odoo Studio to create the module.

  2. Create a new model: In the custom module, create a new model to store the test equipment information. You can call this model "Test Equipment" or something similar. This model will have fields to store the test equipment name, quantity required, and any other relevant information.

  3. Link the model to BoM revision: Add a Many2many field to the BoM revision model, and link it to the Test Equipment model. This will allow you to store the required test equipment for each BoM revision.

  4. Add the field to the Manufacturing Order: Add the Many2many field to the Manufacturing Order model as well, so that the required test equipment is shown on the production order.

  5. Import data: If you have existing data on the required test equipment, you can import it into Odoo using the built-in import feature.

  6. Print the production order: You can customize the production order PDF to include the required test equipment information.

By following these steps, you should be able to track the required test equipment for each BoM revision and display it on the production order. 

Let me know if you have any further questions!

You only want to know what equipment to use, and not record the measure. As far as I understand.  Perhaps this can get you going:

Install the PLM app to manage revisions of BOM.  Maintenance app for the equipment. By standard you can link equipment to to work center. But with Studio you can easily create a related field many to many field in the BOM for equipment list.  I am not so familiar with the PLM, but It should save the old equipment list together with the old BOM. 

With Studio create a tab in the Manufacturing order and link the field from the BOM.

Print: Create report with Studio app.  There exist a printout on the manufctauring order, you can copy it and modify to your needs.

Import to list of equipment is straight forward. Import of the equipment to BOM, I would not know how to do.
