- Odoo 19 displays Manufacturing Orders (MO) on a Gantt timeline instead of just a list.
- Managers see at a glance which MOs are running, start – finish times, Work Centers, deadlines and the overall production schedule.
- The biggest value comes when the Gantt sits inside ERP: production data is linked with Sales, Inventory, Purchase and Planning.
When managing dozens or hundreds of Manufacturing Orders (MO), it is hard to track progress, timing, Work Centers and deadlines if the data only lives in a list. Odoo 19 adds the Manufacturing Orders Gantt Chart to visualize manufacturing orders on a timeline.
What does the Gantt View for Manufacturing Orders show?
| Information | Question answered |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing Order | Which manufacturing orders are in progress and coming up? |
| Timeline | Start and finish times of each MO |
| Work Center | Which area or operation is the work assigned to? |
| Deadline | Which orders need priority? |
| Production Schedule | How is the overall production plan progressing? |
Businesses see the full production schedule in one view instead of compiling it from multiple separate spreadsheets and reports.
