One click to consolidate manufacturing orders
See which Manufacturing Orders can be merged before you select them, preview the consolidated result, and merge same-product orders into one — safely, with a full audit trail.
Planners end up with several small Manufacturing Orders for the same product and bill of materials — one per sales order, per day, or per manual request. Odoo has no built-in way to consolidate them, so orders pile up, work is duplicated on the shop floor, and merge attempts elsewhere only reveal incompatibility after the fact, with no preview of the result and no explanation of why a merge failed.
Group the Manufacturing Orders list by Merge Group to see compatible orders cluster together before you select anything. Select the orders, launch the merge wizard, and see the consolidated quantity, the source orders, and any excluded orders with a plain-language reason — before you confirm. Every merge cancels the source orders, links them for traceability, and logs the event in the chatter.
Everything you need to merge orders with confidence
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Eligibility Preview
Group the Manufacturing Orders list by Merge Group to instantly see which orders share the same product, bill of materials, state, and company — before you ever select one.
Bulk Merge From the List
Select any number of orders in the Manufacturing Orders list and launch “Merge Manufacturing Orders” straight from the Actions menu. No extra screens to hunt for.
Quantity & Impact Preview
See the consolidated quantity and every contributing source order listed out before you confirm — never merge blind.
Self-Explaining Validation
Orders that cannot be merged are listed with the exact reason — wrong state, different product, different bill of materials, or another company — instead of a generic failure.
Merge Into New or Existing
Choose to consolidate the selected orders into a brand-new Manufacturing Order, or merge them straight into one of the existing ones.
Merge Beyond Draft
Consolidate both draft and confirmed orders, not just unconfirmed ones, covering real-world planning where orders are already confirmed.
Sales-Order-Driven Consolidation
When the selected orders share one sales order origin, the wizard surfaces it directly — a one-click way to consolidate orders that Odoo split per sales order line.
Full Traceability
A Merged Sources smart button on the consolidated order links back to every order it absorbed, and each source order shows where it went.
Configurable Default Behavior
Set whether merges default to creating a new order or merging into an existing one, in Manufacturing Settings, with a per-merge override.
How it works
Group by Merge Group
Open the Manufacturing Orders list and group by Merge Group to see which orders can be merged together.
Select & launch
Select the orders to consolidate and choose Merge Manufacturing Orders from the Actions menu.
Review the preview
Check the consolidated quantity, the contributing orders, and any excluded orders with their reasons.
Confirm the merge
Source orders are cancelled and linked; the consolidated order opens, ready to plan and release.
See it in action
From eligibility grouping to the consolidated order, every step of the merge.
Group the Manufacturing Orders list by Merge Group to see compatible orders cluster together before you select any of them.
The merge wizard shows the merge mode, the matching product and bill of materials, the consolidated quantity, and every source order — including a sales-order-driven consolidation banner when it applies.
Orders that cannot be merged are listed separately with the exact reason, so a partial selection never fails silently.
The consolidated order carries a Merged Sources smart button and a chatter log of every order that was absorbed into it.
Set the default merge behavior — create a new order or merge into an existing one — from Manufacturing Settings.
Each merged source order stays visible and cross-references the consolidated order it was merged into.
Frequently asked
Which orders can be merged together?
Orders that share the same product, the same bill of materials, and the same company, and are in the Draft or Confirmed state. The wizard checks this automatically and reports any order that does not qualify, with the reason why.
Can I merge orders from different companies?
No. Merging is restricted to orders of a single company, and the wizard states this in-app. If your selection spans more than one company, only the orders of the reference company are merged; the rest are left untouched.
What happens to the source orders after a merge?
Each source order is cancelled and linked to the consolidated order via a Merged Into reference, and the consolidated order gets a Merged Sources smart button back to all of them. A chatter message records the merge on both sides.
Is there a limit to how many orders I can merge at once?
No artificial limit is imposed. If some of your selection is ineligible, the wizard merges the eligible subset and clearly lists the rest as excluded, so a large selection never blocks the whole operation.
