Maintenance Asset & Cost Tracker by LucidBrainz is a powerful Odoo 18 module that bridges the Maintenance and Accounting modules for complete cost visibility. It links Maintenance Requests with Vendor Bills, Account Assets, and Products — tracking spare parts, labor hours, and bill amounts in real-time. Supports Corrective (Asset) and Preventive (Service) maintenance types with branch-wise security, pivot cost reporting, and seamless three-way navigation between Maintenance Requests, Assets, and Products. Perfect for manufacturing companies and facilities teams that need precise cost tracking with full accounting integration!

• Corrective & Preventive Maintenance Types: Select Asset (Corrective) or Service (Preventive) on the request form. Cost fields and buttons adapt automatically based on selected type.
• Automated Cost Computation: Auto-calculates: Total = Parts + (Duration × Cost/Hour) + Bill Total. All amounts update in real-time and recompute on request completion.
• Vendor Bill Creation from Maintenance Request: Create Asset Bill or Service Bill with one click directly from the request. Bill is auto-linked; a stat button shows count and navigates directly to related bills.
• Asset Linking & Stat Button: Link maintenance requests to Account Assets via product relationship. Asset stat button shows count with one-click navigation to related assets.
• Three-Way Navigation: Product ↔ Asset ↔ Maintenance: Product → Related Assets. Asset → Related Product & Maintenance. Request → Bills & Assets. Full bi-directional traceability across all three models.
• Technical Employee with Cost Per Hour: Assign a technical employee filtered by branch and is_technical flag. Employee's cost per hour is auto-fetched for accurate labor cost calculation.
• Branch-wise Security Rules: Branch users see only their own branch's requests automatically. Managers have full access — no manual configuration needed per user.
• Product ID on Account Asset: Product variant field added to the Account Asset model. Product name is computed and displayed in asset title for quick identification.
• Read-only Views for Safe Navigation: Dedicated read-only views for Asset (edit allowed) and Product (fully locked). Prevents accidental changes during cross-model browsing.
• Maintenance Name Master Configuration: New model under Configuration > Maintenance Name for standard category management. Supports translation, unique name constraint, and inline editable list view.
• Enhanced Pivot View with Cost Measures: Adds Parts Amount, Duration, Cost/Hour, Bill Total, and Total Amount as pivot measures. Powerful cost analytics with grouping and drill-down — all native in Odoo.
• Branch Column in Request List View: Branch field added to Maintenance Requests list for instant multi-location overview. Combined with security rules for effortless cross-branch monitoring.
• Maintenance Analytic Account per User: Analytic account field added on User form under a dedicated tab. Enables cost center tracking and departmental expense allocation per user.
• Asset Modify Wizard — Gross Value Field: Gross Value field added to the standard Asset Modify wizard. On submit, gross increase value is written and depreciation board recomputed automatically.
• Vendor Bill Linked to Maintenance Request: maintenance_request_id field on Account Move for direct financial traceability. is_maintain computed field identifies preventive-maintenance-related bills.
