Hi,

is there a way to create dependencies between work orders, i.e. to define in which order the child orders would be manufactured under the parent order? This is important from manufacturing planning point of view as all the child orders would occupy different work centers and the process can only mo ahead in pre defined order.

Thanks!

Hi Toni,

Yes, this is possible in Odoo, depending on how your manufacturing is structured.

Standard Odoo Behavior

In Odoo Manufacturing, the order of operations is normally controlled at the BoM level through routing:

  1. You define Operations in the BoM.

  2. Each operation is assigned to a specific Work Center.

  3. Odoo schedules the work orders in the exact sequence defined in the BoM.

This ensures the process moves forward in a predefined order across different work centers.

For Child Manufacturing Orders (Sub-assemblies)

If you’re referring to separate child Manufacturing Orders (sub-MOs):

  • Odoo links them automatically when using multi-level BoMs.

  • By default, the parent MO waits for component availability before proceeding.

  • The manufacturing flow is driven by component readiness and operation dependencies.

If you need strict sequencing between different MOs (not just operations), this would require:

  • Careful BoM structure and routing setup, or

  • A small customization to enforce hard dependencies between MOs.

Conclusion

Yes — sequencing is supported at the operation level by default.

Strict dependency control between separate child MOs may require configuration refinement or light customization.

Still, if you need any assistance, please feel free to connect: santosh.sekwadia@zehntech.com

How can I plan my MO's back from my delivery date (with lead times) instead of forward?
