The primary purpose of this module is to centralize repair cost planning and job costing within Odoo. It enables workshops and service centers to estimate repair costs by planning required materials, labour resources, and overhead expenses before creating customer quotations or starting repair activities. This helps organizations improve pricing accuracy, optimize resource planning, evaluate job profitability, and establish a structured costing process for every repair request.

Scope of Module

This module covers the complete job cost planning process for repair operations within Odoo. It includes material cost planning, labour cost planning, overhead cost planning, job cost sheet generation from repair requests, automatic document linking, cost estimation management, and integration with the Job Costing application. The module provides a seamless connection between repair operations and project cost estimation while maintaining complete traceability between repair requests and generated job cost sheets.

Real World Problem It Solves

Many repair workshops, garages, fleet maintenance companies, and service centers estimate repair costs using spreadsheets, handwritten calculations, or disconnected systems before providing quotations to customers. This often leads to inaccurate pricing, overlooked labour or overhead expenses, inconsistent quotations, and reduced profitability. This module addresses these challenges by integrating repair requests with structured job costing in Odoo, allowing organizations to plan materials, labour, and overhead costs, generate professional job cost sheets, and produce more accurate cost estimates before committing to repair work.
