======== ========
A *kit* is a set of unassembled components. Kits may be sold as products, but are also useful tools In Odoo, a *kit* is a type of bill of materials (BoM) that can be manufactured and sold. Kits are

apps need to be installed.

because the stock on-hand for kits is typically not tracked.
.. note::
Although kits should almost always be set to :guilabel:`Consumable`, companies using
**Anglo-Saxon** accounting might need to create kits as a :guilabel:`Storable Product`. This is
because when processing invoices for kits, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) will be posted in
accounting journals.
Unlike storable products, the :guilabel:`Routes` designation under the :guilabel:`Inventory` tab
does not matter for kits, since Odoo uses the routes of the kit's individual components for
replenishment purposes. All other parameters for the kit product may be modified according to
preference. Once ready, click :guilabel:`Save` to save the new product.
The kit's components must also be configured as products via :menuselection:`Inventory app -->
