Enforce MO Completion Before Pick/Transfer Processing

This feature enforces strict workflow compliance by preventing users from performing pick/transfer actions in Odoo unless the corresponding Manufacturing Order (MO) is marked as fully completed. This ensures that stock movements align with manufacturing progress, preventing premature transfers of materials or finished goods.

Key Functionality

1. Validation on Transfers: Before confirming a stock picking related to a Manufacturing Order, the system will check the MO status. If the MO is not completed, the transfer will be restricted.
2. User Notification: If a user attempts to process a transfer before the MO is completed, they will receive a clear warning message explaining the restriction.
3. Integration with Manufacturing Workflow: Ensures that all stock movements associated with a manufacturing process occur only after production is finished.
4. Role-Based Permissions (Optional): Can be configured to allow authorized roles (e.g., warehouse managers) to override the restriction in specific cases.

Business Impact

1. Prevents Inaccurate Inventory Movements: Ensures raw materials and finished goods are not prematurely moved or transferred, reducing stock discrepancies.
2. Enhances Workflow Compliance: Aligns stock movements with production progress, improving operational efficiency.
3. Reduces Errors in Manufacturing and Logistics: Prevents misalignment between manufacturing and warehouse teams, ensuring goods are only transferred when production is completed.

Implementation Considerations

1. The system will validate stock pickings associated with an MO before allowing confirmation.
2. A configuration option may be provided in settings to enable/disable this restriction.
3. Possible integration with user roles to allow specific users to override the restriction in justified cases.

This feature ensures better control over manufacturing-related stock movements, preventing premature actions that could lead to process inefficiencies.
