How to Add Notes and Section Headers to Manufacturing Orders in Odoo
Why Manufacturing Orders in Odoo Lack Structure
Sales orders in Odoo have had section lines and note lines for years. You can group products under a bold header, add a free-text note between line items, and the printed PDF reflects that structure exactly. Every Odoo user who has built a quotation has used this. Manufacturing orders have never had the equivalent. Every component and every operation sits in a flat, unlabelled list regardless of how complex the production process is. For a two-component job, that is fine. For a twenty-component manufacturing order split across three production stages with different team responsibilities and specific handling instructions at particular steps a flat list creates missed steps, picking errors, and printed documents that do not communicate what the shop floor actually needs.
Overview

It helps you organise operations, materials, and instructions into clear sections, improving readability for production teams. These section notes can also be displayed in printed reports for better communication and documentation.
