Challenges

✗
• Complex Data Overload: Navigating extensive lists of parts, suppliers, and production orders without tools for quick customization or filtering.
✗
Static View Limitations: Odoo's default lists didn't support persistent column resizing, reordering, or user-specific settings, forcing repeated manual tweaks.

Inefficient Searching: Lack of advanced, column-level searches for relational fields like Many2one suppliers or Many2many components, slowing down queries.
