What this module is

fusion_plating is the process-agnostic foundation that every plating or metal-finishing shop needs, regardless of size, jurisdiction, process mix, or industry. It provides:

• Facility — physical sites with their own tanks, operators, capabilities
• Process Type — extensible taxonomy (filled in by process packs)
• Work Center — lines and stations inside a facility
• Tank — physical vessel with QR code, state, bath history
• Bath — the chemistry currently in a tank, with its own lifecycle
• Bath Parameter — schema for chemistry readings
• Bath Log — daily/per-shift chemistry readings with pass/warn/fail rollup
• Security — Operator / Supervisor / Manager / Administrator roles
• Theme-aware UI — respects Odoo light/dark mode with zero duplication

What this module is not

This core intentionally ships with:

• No process chemistry — install fusion_plating_process_en, _chrome, _anodize, _black_oxide etc. to get actual process types and their bath parameter schemas.
• No regulatory data — install fusion_plating_compliance_<region> to get jurisdiction-specific limits, forms, and reporting workflows.
• No industry specialisations — install fusion_plating_aerospace, _nuclear, _cgp etc. for industry-specific QMS overlays.
• No client-specific strings — everything is data-driven.

Installation

# Development
docker exec odoo-dev-app odoo -d fusion-dev -u fusion_plating --stop-after-init

# Production — after rsync to target server
docker exec <odoo-container> odoo -d <db> -u fusion_plating --stop-after-init

No external Python dependencies. Depends only on standard Odoo 19 Community base modules (base, mail, contacts, product, stock, sale_management, purchase, hr, uom).

Design principles

1. Works on both Odoo Community and Enterprise. Never depends on quality, documents, sign, studio, or mrp_plm. EE-specific integrations live in separate fusion_plating_bridge_* modules.
2. No client-specific strings in core. Configuration, not code.
3. Regions are data, not code. Sewer limits, waste classes, reporting forms come from region packs.
4. Processes are plug-ins. New process (copper, zinc, tin) = new fusion_plating_process_* module, core untouched.
5. Dashboards are configured, not coded. Shops pick their own headline KPIs.
6. Theme-aware. Uses Odoo/Bootstrap CSS variables. One source of truth for colours; Odoo's theme engine decides light vs dark.

Security groups

Group	Intended for
Operator	Shop-floor staff. Reads reference data, writes chemistry logs.
Supervisor	Line supervisors. Manages baths, schedules jobs, reviews logs.
Manager	Quality, EHS, plant manager, engineer. Full CRUD on configuration.
Administrator	Owner, system admin. All manager rights + system settings.

Field naming convention

• New models use fusion.plating.* namespace.
• Fields on our own models use simple names (no prefix).
• Fields added to base Odoo models (res.company, res.partner, product.template, etc.) use the x_fc_ prefix per the repo convention.

Developer notes

• All models inheriting from mail.thread use the Odoo 19 chatter pattern.
• Security follows the Odoo 19 res.groups.privilege pattern (module category → privilege → groups), not the legacy category_id-on-group pattern.
• Sequence numbers use ir.sequence seeded in data/fp_sequence_data.xml.
• SCSS uses color-mix() against CSS custom properties — never hardcodes hex values. See static/src/scss/fusion_plating.scss for the theming contract.
• No group expand="0" in search views (Odoo 19 incompatibility).
• No category_id or users field on res.groups (Odoo 19 incompatibility).
