Assess the missing component against the build sequence, rework risk and approved alternatives before starting partial assembly. Identify which operations can proceed safely and where work must stop. The plan should preserve the outstanding component requirement and the ownership of its resolution, rather than treating a partly issued kit as fully ready.
Understand the decision
In a sample order, most components are available but a connector is delayed. Starting the boards may save time, although fitting the connector later could require extra handling and inspection. An alternative is available locally, but engineering has not approved its footprint and the customer expects a particular connector family.
Work through the requirements
- Identify the shortage and affected operation.
- Review partial-build and substitution options with engineering.
- Approve a stop point and named resolution owner.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Kit shortage | Record missing component and quantity. |
| Build decision | Define permitted work and hold point. |
| Alternative review | Document approval or rejection evidence. |

Watch for this failure
Starting every available operation can create hidden queues of almost-finished boards. Include handling and repeat inspection effort in the decision, and keep the incomplete kit visible so production progress does not imply a deliverable finished assembly.
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.
