SO Number On WO Screen

In a manufacturing environment, it is critical to maintain a direct link between Sales Orders (SOs) and the corresponding Work Orders (WOs) to ensure production aligns with customer requirements. The SO Number on WO Screen feature enhances the Odoo Shop Floor module by adding the SO number to the Work Order tiles, giving operators immediate visibility of the sales order related to the production task they are performing.

This feature was previously available for version 16 and now extends to Odoo version 17. It integrates the SO number directly into the Work Order tiles on the Shop Floor interface, allowing operators to easily see which Sales Order a particular Work Order is linked to. This improvement ensures that production tasks are completed with full context of the sales process, reducing confusion and increasing operational efficiency.

By displaying the SO number, this feature helps operators verify that the products they are manufacturing align with customer orders, thus improving traceability and reducing errors during production. It is especially useful in environments with high volumes of customized orders, where keeping track of customer-specific production is crucial.

Key Benefits:

1. Improved Traceability: Allows operators to see the Sales Order number on the Work Order tiles, ensuring a clear connection between the customer order and the production task.
2. Reduced Errors: Helps prevent production mistakes by ensuring that operators can easily verify which Sales Order they are working on, reducing the risk of misaligned production.
3. Streamlined Workflow: Provides operators with key information at a glance, improving the efficiency of the production process by reducing the need to cross-reference other screens or documents.
4. Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: By ensuring that products are manufactured according to the correct Sales Order, businesses can improve the accuracy of their deliveries and enhance customer satisfaction.

Example Use Case:

In a custom electronics manufacturing company, operators frequently handle Work Orders for various customer-specific products. With the SO Number on WO Screen feature, they can now see the Sales Order number directly on the Work Order tiles in the Shop Floor interface. This allows the operator to verify that they are working on the correct customer order, ensuring that the right components are assembled for the correct client. This minimizes production errors and ensures smooth order fulfillment.

Conclusion:

The SO Number on WO Screen feature provides operators with essential information by displaying the Sales Order number directly on the Work Order tiles in the Shop Floor. This feature enhances traceability between Sales Orders and Work Orders, reducing the likelihood of production errors and ensuring that customer orders are fulfilled accurately. By providing quick access to SO numbers, this feature helps streamline the production workflow and improve overall efficiency on the Shop Floor.
