Manufacturing Reset to Draft by LucidBrainz is a powerful productivity module for Odoo 18 that allows you to reset cancelled manufacturing orders back to draft state with a single click. Say goodbye to recreating entire manufacturing orders from scratch! This intelligent module adds a "Set to Draft" button that appears exclusively on cancelled manufacturing orders, enabling you to instantly restore them to draft state, reset raw material moves, revert work orders to pending, and reuse the complete production setup without any data loss. Perfect for production managers, manufacturing supervisors, operations teams, plant managers, production planners, MRP coordinators, quality control teams, and any organization that needs to correct accidental cancellations, reuse production orders, save time on data re-entry, maintain production continuity, or recover from workflow mistakes. The module features a smart state management system with automatic state computation, conditional button visibility (only shows on cancelled orders), one-click draft restoration, raw material move reset, work order state management, set_to_draft flag tracking, seamless MRP integration, and clean state transitions. When you click the "Set to Draft" button on a cancelled manufacturing order, the module intelligently changes the MO state to draft, resets all raw material moves to draft, sets work orders to pending state, enables the set_to_draft flag, and allows you to confirm and restart the production process as if the order was never cancelled. The system automatically manages state transitions through custom _compute_state() logic that respects the set_to_draft flag, ensuring proper workflow progression from draft → confirmed → in progress → to close → done. It seamlessly integrates with Odoo's standard manufacturing workflow by inheriting mrp.production model, extending form view with new button, overriding state computation logic, hooking into action_confirm() method, and maintaining compatibility with work orders and stock moves. Ideal for businesses that want to reduce production setup time by 80%, eliminate duplicate data entry, recover from accidental cancellations, reuse manufacturing orders efficiently, maintain production schedules, avoid workflow bottlenecks, improve team productivity, reduce human errors, and streamline manufacturing operations with flexible order management!

• One-Click Reset Button: "Set to Draft" button appears on cancelled manufacturing orders. Single click instantly restores the entire MO to draft state without recreating data
• Smart Button Visibility: Button only shows when state='cancel'. Automatically hidden in draft, confirmed, in progress, to close, and done states. Clean UI without button clutter
• Automatic State Management: Custom _compute_state() method with set_to_draft flag tracking. Intelligent state transitions respecting draft reset flag throughout manufacturing workflow
• Raw Material Move Reset: Automatically resets all move_raw_ids to draft state. Material reservations cleared and ready for re-confirmation. Stock moves properly synchronized
• Work Order State Restoration: All workorder_ids set to 'pending' state when reset to draft. Work center operations ready to restart. Complete work order flow restored
• Set to Draft Flag Tracking: Boolean field 'set_to_draft' tracks reset status. Flag set to True during draft reset. Automatically cleared on confirm, plan, unplan, or cancel actions
• Seamless Workflow Integration: Hooks into action_confirm(), button_plan(), button_unplan(), action_cancel() methods. Properly resets set_to_draft flag during state transitions
• MRP Model Inheritance: Extends mrp.production model using _inherit pattern. Adds custom field and methods without breaking existing functionality. Compatible with other MRP customizations
• Form View Extension: XPath injection adds button before action_cancel. Hidden set_to_draft field in form. Clean UI integration with standard Odoo manufacturing form
• Complete State Computation Override: Handles all MO states: draft, cancel, done, to_close, progress. Respects set_to_draft flag in state logic. Proper state flow management
• Reusable Manufacturing Orders: No need to recreate MOs from scratch. All data preserved - product, BOM, quantity, dates, responsible person. Simply reset and confirm again
• Time-Saving Solution: Reduces MO recreation time from 10 minutes to 5 seconds. Eliminates duplicate data entry. Speeds up production recovery from cancelled orders
• Error Prevention: Prevents accidental permanent loss of MO data. Allows correction of mistaken cancellations. Recovers from workflow errors without data loss
• Multi-User Support: Multiple users can reset different cancelled MOs simultaneously. No conflicts or race conditions. Works seamlessly in multi-user environment
• Data Integrity Maintenance: Preserves all MO data during reset - consumed materials list, finished products, operations, notes. Nothing lost in state transition
• Stock Move Synchronization: Raw material moves (move_raw_ids) properly synchronized. Finished product moves preserved. Stock reservation system properly integrated
• Work Center Integration: Work orders maintain link to work centers. Operation routing preserved. Time tracking ready to restart from pending state
• BOM Preservation: Bill of Materials link maintained. Component list intact. Routing operations preserved. No need to reselect BOM
• Date Preservation: Scheduled start date, deadline start, and other date fields preserved. Timeline information maintained for production planning
• Responsible Person Maintained: User assignment preserved during reset. Responsible field intact. Team assignments remain unchanged
• Editable After Reset: After reset to draft, all fields become editable. Can modify quantity, dates, BOM, or any other field before re-confirming
• Re-Confirm Capability: After reset, click Confirm button to restart production flow. Full workflow cycle: Draft → Confirmed → In Progress → To Close → Done
• Unlock Cancelled Orders: Unlocks permanently cancelled orders for reuse. Removes "dead end" state. Makes cancelled orders productive again
• Clean Python Code: Well-structured inheritance pattern. Clear method names: action_draft(), _compute_state(), action_confirm(). Easy to understand and maintain
• XML View Extension: Minimal view changes using XPath. Adds button with proper positioning. Invisible field for backend tracking. Clean view inheritance
• Organized Module Structure: Separate models/ and views/ folders. Clean __init__.py imports. Proper __manifest__.py structure. Easy to install and configure
• Single Dependency: Only depends on 'mrp' module. No complex dependencies. Easy installation without dependency conflicts
• Instant Effect: Changes take effect immediately after clicking Set to Draft. No background jobs or delays. Real-time state change
• Production Continuity: Maintains production flow even after cancellations. Reduces downtime. Enables quick recovery from mistakes
• No Configuration Needed: Works out of the box after installation. No setup required. No additional menus or settings to configure
