This module adds an Unstart button on Manufacturing Orders to move them from In Progress back to Confirmed, and a Started On date that records when the Manufacturing Order was actually started.
Since 19.0, the actual start date is stored in a dedicated Started On field instead of overwriting the scheduled date of the Manufacturing Order.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds an Unstart button on Manufacturing Orders to move them from In Progress back to Confirmed, and shows a Started On date recording when the order actually started.
This module changes the Manufacturing Order screen in Odoo Manufacturing.
- A new Started On date appears on the order form once the order has actually started. It is filled automatically when the order leaves the Confirmed stage and is cleared if the order goes back to Draft or Confirmed. It is not copied when an order is duplicated.
- An Unstart button appears on the order form while the order is In Progress and no quantity is being produced. Pressing it puts the order back to the Confirmed stage.
The Unstart action is protected by checks. Odoo refuses to unstart an order when: - the order is not In Progress; - a quantity is already being produced; - some work orders are started or done; - some components are already picked.
In those cases the user sees an error message naming the order and the reason.
When the module is installed on an existing database, orders already In Progress, To Close or Done get their Started On date filled from their scheduled start date, so they do not all show the installation time.
The module touches the Manufacturing Order model mrp.production and its form view only; no new menus are added.
