Odoo Field Service App allows to assign any FS worker to any FS order. For some organizations, they cannot assign any FS worker to any order. They needs to manage the skills of the FS workers and reduce the list of potential FS workers on an order to avoid wrong assignment and mis-configuration. The skills of the selectable FS workers on a service order needs to match the required skills to perform the order.

This modules allows you to set skills on categories to automatically set those skills on the order. It also allows you to set the skills to the field service worker with their level. On the order, the list of field service workers is filtered with the skills and the location so you can only assign the right worker to the order.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Assign skills to your field service workers and require skills on orders, categories and templates. Odoo then only offers workers who have all the required skills when you assign an order.

This module links the Field Service app with the Skills feature of Odoo, so you can match workers to the jobs they are qualified for.

On a field service worker you get a new Skills tab where you list each skill, its type and level, with a progress bar. The same skill cannot be added twice to the same worker, and Odoo checks that the chosen skill belongs to the chosen skill type and that the level is valid for that type.

On field service orders, categories and templates you can set Required Skills. When you pick categories on an order, their required skills are copied onto the order automatically; picking a template also brings its required skills across.

Based on the required skills, Odoo computes the list of available workers, and the worker field on the order is filtered to show only people who hold all the required skills. If no skills are required, all workers remain selectable.

A Worker Skills report (graph and pivot) is available under Field Service reporting, and a Skills menu is added under the Field Service configuration for workers. Skills themselves gain a colour used in the tags.
