How to Create New Shifts and Roles in Odoo 14 Planning Module

Functional Odoo 14

Effective scheduling helps you to achieve the goals and objectives of the company. It makes you understand what you can achieve with the permitted time. You can identify the available resources and time, schedule essential actions, and unexpected problems can be eliminated to an extent. You can get every employee on a synchronized track and can check the progress of the work easily. Scheduling tasks establish a routine in the organization and organizes your work.  


To make a positive impact it is necessary to define the roles and responsibilities of each employee. When an employee is made aware of his contribution to the organization through his role, he/ she works harder to achieve it. As everyone knows their responsibilities they will make sure that the task is completed on time as they are accountable for it. 


So it is important to create schedules and roles in the workplace. Doing these manually will make errors and there is a chance of contradictions and conflict in assigning tasks. Therefore you need proper planning management. Odoo ERP makes sure that all the planning activities are well organized and scheduled. With Odoo 14's Planning module you can do all these very easily.


Let us check how to create schedules and roles in Odoo 14 Planning Module.
