About this app

What does this app do in Odoo 19?

FAQ

Which Odoo versions / editions are supported?

This module targets Odoo 19 and works with both Community and Enterprise editions, including Odoo.sh and on-premise deployments.

Do I need Odoo Enterprise Gantt?

No. NexGen Gantt is a standalone interactive Gantt suite built on standard Odoo Web. It does not require Enterprise Gantt.

Who publishes and supports this app?

NexGen Solutions publishes the suite. Support email: nexgensolutionsodoo@gmail.com.

Does Gantt invent workflow states like Confirm / Done / Approve?

No. NexGen Gantt is safety-first: adapters write schedule/planning fields only. Native Odoo forms and buttons remain the source of truth for workflow.

Are writes protected by ACLs and record rules?

Yes. Timeline reads and writes use the current user’s access rights. There is no sudo bypass for business data.

What happens if two users edit at the same time?

Optimistic concurrency checks apply. With NexGen Gantt Collaboration installed, presence chips and edit locks further reduce collisions.

Which time scales are available?

Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year, with zoom in/out, reset zoom and zoom-to-fit.

Can I save my preferred Gantt layout?

Yes. Saved layouts store scale and polish options per user so you can reload your preferred view quickly.

What export formats are available?

Common formats include PDF, PNG, XLSX and JSON. Depending on the installed suite exchange gateway, XML/XER and optional admin-gated iCal may also be available.

Is the UI mobile / tablet friendly?

The shared chrome is responsive. For the best phone/tablet experience install NexGen Gantt Mobile (compact toolbar, touch drag, optional PWA).

Can AI help me reschedule?

Install NexGen Gantt AI Planner. It supports natural-language intents with preview-first apply through adapter validators.

How do I get the full suite at once?

Install NexGen Gantt All-in-One. It pulls Base, all business adapters, Collaboration, AI Planner and Mobile.

Is multi-company supported?

Yes, within normal Odoo multi-company rules. Users only see and edit records allowed by their company and record rules.

Will uninstalling remove my Odoo business data?

Uninstalling a Gantt module removes the module’s menus/actions/helpers. Native Project/MRP/Sales/etc. business records remain.

Where can I ask for customization or support?

Email nexgensolutionsodoo@gmail.com with your Odoo version, module technical name and a short description of the need.

What does NexGen Gantt Manufacturing do?

It provides Manufacturing Order and Work Order Gantt views with drag reschedule, progress on bars, work-center load and capacity/calendar checks.

Can I unschedule a Manufacturing Order?

In Odoo 19 MO start dates are required, so MOs cannot be unscheduled from Gantt. Editable Work Orders can still be unscheduled.

What if a slot conflicts with the work center?

The server rejects the move. Conflicts are not silently ignored or auto-forced.

Does Gantt change MO/WO state?

No. It updates planning dates only. Confirm, produce and done remain native MRP actions.

Which records can be dragged?

Typically draft/confirmed MOs and blocked/ready work orders. Completed, cancelled or in-progress operations stay read-only.

Is there a work-center load histogram?

Yes — use it to spot overload before you confirm a plan.

Can I group by work center or product?

Yes. Grouping options include product, responsible, work center and status.

Are shift labels available?

Yes on the hour scale, helping supervisors read day/shift plans.

Is gantt_nex available on native MO/WO lists?

Yes — you can switch to the NexGen Gantt view mode from standard Manufacturing lists.

Does Gantt invent manufacturing workflow?

No. Native MRP remains the source of truth for confirm/produce/done side effects.

Can I export the shop-floor plan?

Yes — PDF, PNG, XLSX, JSON and related formats from the toolbar.

Is progress visible on bars?

Yes — progress fill and percent labels help track execution.

Can I use quick edit?

Yes — a quick-edit panel and tooltip field picker help planners stay on the board.

Does Manufacturing Gantt work with AI Planner?

Yes. AI can propose delay/move intents that still pass MRP validators on apply.

Can Field Service or Project install conflict with MRP Gantt?

No — adapters share the Base engine and can coexist in All-in-One.
