Manufacturing Cost Estimation and Pre-Production Planner in Odoo

The Manufacturing Estimation module in Odoo empowers businesses to effectively plan and manage production costs before initiating the manufacturing process. It allows teams to prepare detailed cost forecasts by considering material requirements, labor efforts, operational activities, and any additional expenses related to production. Users can also define the timeline and specify whether the estimate applies to a new or existing product.
The module offers a structured layout to capture every element of the production cost. It enables teams to input data for all cost components, including raw materials, production activities, workforce involvement, and overheads. This structured approach ensures every aspect of manufacturing is accounted for, providing a complete and accurate cost summary that updates automatically as inputs change.
Once the estimation is reviewed and approved, an automated email is sent to the customer to notify them of the approval. If a production structure is already available, it is reused to avoid duplication. The module also provides the flexibility to generate related documents like production orders and sales quotations directly from the estimation, streamlining the transition from planning to execution.
Additionally, each estimation includes a validity period. When the current date exceeds the specified expiry, the system automatically marks the estimation as expired, preventing further use. By connecting cost planning, communication, and production execution, the Manufacturing Estimation module enhances control, efficiency, and traceability across the manufacturing lifecycle.
