The Odoo Shop Floor module is a companion to Manufacturing, giving production staff a visual way to process manufacturing orders and work orders, log progress and track time from the shop floor itself.

Before you start

Shop Floor is not installed separately; it comes bundled with the Manufacturing app. Open it from the main Odoo dashboard, or from the Shop Floor smart button on a manufacturing order. The first time it opens on a workstation, a pop-up may ask which work centres to assign to it; if not, use the add icon next to the work centre list.

How to navigate Shop Floor

Three views are available from the navigation bar:

  • All MO: the main dashboard, showing a card for every manufacturing order that is ready to start (confirmed, with all components available).
  • Work centre pages: one per work centre, showing cards for the work orders assigned to it. Toggle which work centres are shown using the plus icon in the navigation bar.
  • My WO: shows only the work orders assigned to whichever operator is currently active in the panel.

An order’s card shows its reference, product, quantity and status, with completed work orders struck through and the current one highlighted. A Register Production line records lot or serial numbers and quantities produced, and a gear icon opens further options such as Scrap, Add Component or Create a Quality Alert.

The operator panel

On the left of the module, the operator panel lists everyone currently signed in to Shop Floor. Click a name to make that employee active, use Add Operator to sign in another employee, and the logout icon to sign one out.

Order priority

Shop Floor lists orders by their Scheduled Date, earliest first. To move an order to the top regardless of date, click the star icon on its manufacturing order.
