Define the order cutoff, accepted delivery date and rules for later changes before converting demand into a bake plan. Separate confirmed wholesale commitments from forecast retail demand. A late increase should identify its effect on ingredients, oven capacity and dispatch rather than silently replacing the plan already issued to the production team.
Understand the decision
A hypothetical café raises its morning croissant order after dough preparation has started. The bakery can make a different item but cannot simply create more rested dough in the remaining window. Customer service needs an explicit acceptance or alternative decision that the bake team can follow.
Work through the requirements
- Freeze confirmed demand at the agreed cutoff.
- Review late changes against actual production stage.
- Communicate accepted alternatives to production and dispatch.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Order cutoff log | Identify the accepted demand version. |
| Bake plan | Separate committed and forecast quantities. |
| Change decision | Record the approved customer response. |

Watch for this failure
Treating every order edit as immediately producible demand creates a plan that no baker can execute. Keep the cutoff and exception owner visible, and require a deliberate decision when preparation time makes the original request impractical.
Continue the evaluation
This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
