Project Task Time-Budget Alerter
Get an email when a project task is burning through its hour budget, while you can still act.
Agency and services project managers find out a task is 50% over budget at invoice time, when the variance is already booked and the client is already unhappy. Odoo shows planned and effective hours on the task but sends no alert. This module runs an hourly cron: when a task crosses 75%, 90%, or 100% of its planned hours, the assignee and project manager get the email straight away. No approval workflow, just the heads-up.
Project Task Time-Budget Alerter
Email the assignee and manager at 75, 90, and 100% of a task's planned hours, with no approval workflow.
What it does
Agency and services project managers discover tasks are 50% over budget at invoice time, when the variance is already baked in and impossible to recover. By then the client is unhappy and the margin is gone.
Odoo core shows effective_hours and planned_hours on project.task but sends no threshold alert, so overruns surface only on the monthly reporting pull.
What this module adds:
- Hourly cron computes each active task's budget percentage (
effective_hours / planned_hours). - Email alerts at 75 / 90 / 100% by default (thresholds configurable as a CSV of percentages).
- Notify the assignee, the project manager, or both per rule.
- Project scope (many-to-many) and excluded stages per rule.
- Deduped per (task, threshold): each task crosses each threshold exactly once per rule.
- Re-estimations that lower the planned hours can re-trigger later thresholds, that is intentional.
- Full audit log of every alert fired.
Who benefits
Project managers, delivery leads, and services operations teams at SMB and mid-market agencies, consultancies, and professional service firms.
How it works
Hourly cron that reads project.task only. No core-model inheritance. TransactionCase tested on Odoo 17, 18, and 19. Safe to install, safe to uninstall. Pairs naturally with the rest of the Cube Master audit / alert catalog.
What the module looks like
Real screenshots from a live Odoo 19 install. Every view is standard Odoo chrome, no bespoke widgets to learn.
Common questions
Does it inherit or patch core Odoo models?
_register_hook to wrap the target method at registry load, and the wrapper unwinds cleanly at uninstall. No schema changes to core tables, no monkey-patches, no Studio surgery.Does it work on Odoo Community, or only Enterprise?
Can I uninstall it cleanly if it does not fit?
What support do I get after buying?
Can Cube Master customise it for my company?
