While using odoo 16 CE I went to the documentation to read about workcenters for this version (here:https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/applications/inventory_and_mrp/manufacturing/management/using_work_centers.html) and it is clearly stated there that the work center form has a place to define equipment. This makes me think that Work Centers are like assembly lines that can have several machines allocated to it.
The picture I see there is this:
Now in my installation (I have several made on different platforms and they all exhibit this window for the workcenter form:
Here I don't have the Equipment nor the IoT Triggers tabs. I do have this Specific Capabilities which I think is for the specification of how many units of a certain product defined in inventory I can do in this WC and what setup and cleanup times I need for those.
So my two questions are:
- Technically did odoo 16 loose these equipment and IoT tabs or I need to do something to get it to work (I do have the maintenance app installed but that had no effect with this issue and, I do think that products one has in inventory and that are turned into fixed assets so that one can financially deprecate it should be made available as equipment to use in production lines and associated to the maintenance app)?
- This question is more conceptual. In odoo 16 workcenters stand for machines I use to transform raw materials or that assemble products in BOMs or do they stand for production lines or workplaces that churn out a certain number of pieces of products?
Thank for any comment.
