ODOO'S FUNCTION
When validating a Manufacturing Order, Odoo automatically assigns the effective date as the date of validation. This does not always reflect the actual done date, leading to discrepancies.
In real-life manufacturing or subcontracting operations, the delivery of components or finished products often happens on a different date than the system validation date. For example, a Manufacturing/Subcontracting Order may be confirmed today, but the actual delivery could be scheduled for next week. Without flexibility to adjust the effective date, companies face:
- Inaccurate reporting
- Misaligned planning
- Distorted analytics — especially in project-based or time-sensitive manufacturing
CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION
Cluedoo introduces the option to set a Force Delivery Date. This date can be manually adjusted to reflect the actual operational timeline.
This date flows through to:
- Transfers
- Stock Moves
- Stock Valuation Layers
- Journal Entries (if applicable)
By aligning the Manufacturing/Subcontracting Order records with the real-world process, companies benefit from:
- Improved data accuracy
- Better planning and forecasting
- Reliable financial and operational reporting
A. Manufacturing Order 1. Go to Manufacturing > create MO > assign Force Date in MO |  |
2. Mark as done MO > it will inherit force date to transfer, stock move, stock valuation layer and journal entry (if we have). Note: Force date = stock move date (both finished product and component) = stock valuation layer date = JE date (if there is) |    |
B. Subcontracting Order 1. Create a Purchase Order having a subcontract product > Confirm A Subcontracting is automatically created. You can find it in tab Subcontract Lines |  |
2. Go to Receipt of this PO Fill the Force Delivery Date Then Validate > The Effective Date and Max Delivery Date is set at date we set for Force Delivery Date |   |
3. Go to Subcontracting It also inherit force date to the Force Effective Date and Start Date of Subcontracting Order, Tracebility Report, Inventory Moves, Stock Valuations, Move Date in Move Analysis. |      |
