MOWizard

MOWizard is a powerful plugin designed to streamline the creation of Manufacturing Orders (MOs) based on selected Sales Order lines. It is especially useful for businesses managing complex, multi-level product structures, complex product trees swiftly. Creation of this plugin was inspired by cases of companies that have large numbers of Manufacturing Orders related to a single line on a Sales Order. This tool enables faster processing and better visibility, reducing manual work and improving production efficiency.
