How It Works

One prompt, at the one moment it matters.

1

Mark it done, and say when

The order carries the real completion date, not the moment somebody clicked the button.

A manufacturing order completed on an earlier date
2

The orders as a whole

Nothing changes in how orders are planned, confirmed or produced.

Manufacturing orders
3

And the valuation follows

The layers the completion produced carry the back-dated date, which is what keeps a closed period honest.

Stock valuation layers

What You Get

A date and time prompt when a manufacturing order is marked done

The order's finished date, the stock moves and the valuation layers all take it

The accounting period follows, so entries land in the month the work happened

Restricted to a group, so not everybody can back-date production

Refuses a completion date before the order's start date

Work orders and work-centre productivity records follow the same date

What This App Does Not Do

Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.

It does not reopen closed periods.

If the accounting period is locked, the entry cannot be back-dated into it - that lock stays Odoo's.

It does not back-date a back-order.

A back-order is a different manufacturing order with its own dates.

The date cannot precede the start.

Finishing before starting is refused, with the two dates in the message.

It is a permission, not a default.

Only users in the back-date group are asked for a date; everyone else completes as usual.

Works Well With

Apps from the same stack, built to fit this one:

Inventory Backdate

The same treatment for transfers - and the layer this builds on.

viin_stock_backdate

Sales Backdate

Orders confirmed on the day they were agreed.

to_sale_backdate

Purchase Backdate

The purchasing side of the same problem.

to_purchase_backdate

Who Should Use Manufacturing Backdate?

Production manager

Records Friday's output as Friday's, on Monday.

Cost accountant

Gets the valuation in the period the material was actually consumed.

Controller

Decides who may back-date, because the group is assignable.

Auditor

Sees one date on the order, the moves and the entries - not three.
