Let’s say that you produce a desk combination of 4 desks and +two chairs but your customer asks you for one more desk. Alright, you can do +that. But you will need to register it! + +In case this happens, Odoo has the *flexible components consumption* +feature available. If you enable it, you will be able to consume as many +components as needed and it will make you save time in the registration +of your items consumption. + +Configuration +============= + +Using flexible component consumption is easy and can be done in a few +steps. All you need is a *BoM* and a *Quality Control Point*. +Therefore, you will need to activate the feature *Quality* in the +*MRP* app settings. + +First, open the *BoM* you want to use for flexible component +consumption and edit it. In the *Miscellaneous* tab, choose +*Flexible* as the consumption type. Then, save. + +.. image:: media/flexible_components_consumption_01.png + :align: center + +Now, in the *Quality* app, open the *Control Point* menu, under +*Quality Control* and create a new *Quality Control Point*. Choose +your product, your operation and work order operation. Then, choose +*Register Consumed Materials* as type. + +.. image:: media/flexible_components_consumption_02.png + :align: center + +Next, go back to your *Manufacturing* app and create a *Manufacturing +order*. Choose the product for which you have created the flexible +*BoM*. + +Then, confirm it and launch the process step. While processing, you will +have the possibility to consume more components than expected in the +*BoM*. To do so, click on *Continue Consumption*. + +.. image:: media/flexible_components_consumption_03.png + :align: center + +When the job is over, you will find a summary of your component +consumption in the *Finished Steps* tab of your work order. + +.. image:: media/flexible_components_consumption_04.png + :align: center \ No newline at end of file
