[IMP] MRP: updated Kits doc rst content

Went through the existing kits documentation and changed a lot of the
content, as much of it was outdated. Also replaced the images with new
ones.

+Use kits
+========
 
-A *kit* is a set of components that are not pre-assembled or mixed. This is useful for
-selling but also for creating cleaner and more effective *BOMs*. To use kits, you need
-both the Manufacturing and Inventory apps to be installed.
+A *kit* is a set of unassembled components. Kits may be sold as products, but are also useful tools
+for managing more complex bills of materials (BoMs). To use kits, the :guilabel:`Manufacturing` and
+:guilabel:`Inventory` applications need to be installed.
 
-Manage Stock of Component Products
-==================================
+Create the kit as a product
+===========================
 
-If you want to assemble kits as they are ordered, managing stock of the kit components only,
-you will use a *Kit BoM* Type without any manufacturing operations.
+To use a kit as a sellable product or simply as a component organization tool, the kit should first
+be created as a product. To create a kit product, go to :menuselection:`Manufacturing or Inventory
+--> Products --> Products`, and then click :guilabel:`Create`.
 
-A product using a *Kit BoM* will appear as a single line item on a quotation and a sales order,
-but will generate a delivery order with one line item for each of the components of the kit. In
-the examples below, the first image shows a sales order for the kit *Custom Computer Kit*,
-while the second image shows the corresponding delivery order.
+Next, set the :guilabel:`Product Type` to :guilabel:`Storable Product`: this allows for management
+of kit inventory. The :guilabel:`Route` designation under the :guilabel:`Inventory` tab does not
+matter, since Odoo uses the routes of the kit's components for replenishment purposes. All other
+parameters for the kit product may be modified according to preference. Finally, click
+:guilabel:`Save`.

+The kit's components must also be configured as products via :menuselection:`Manufacturing or
+Inventory --> Products --> Products`. These components require no specific configuration.

+Set up the kit BoM
+==================
 
-Configuration
-=============
+After fully configuring the kit product and its components, create a :abbr:`BoM (Bill of
+Materials)` for the kit product. Go to :menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Products --> Bills of
+Materials`, and then click :guilabel:`Create`. Next, set the :guilabel:`Product` field to the
+previously configured kit product. Then, set the :guilabel:`BoM Type` to :guilabel:`Kit`. Finally,
+add each component and specify its quantity. Make sure to :guilabel:`Save` the changes.
 
-From the *Products menu* in either the *Inventory* or *Manufacturing* app, create each component
-product (as you would with any other product), then create the top-level, or kit product. Because
-you cannot track the stock of kit products, the *Product Type* should be set to *Consumable*.
-However, if you are using Anglo-Saxon accounting, and you would like COGS to be posted when
-invoicing your kits (and only for this reason), the storable product type should selected instead.
-Because a kit product cannot be purchased, *Can be Purchased* should be unchecked. The route of the
-kit product in the *Inventory* Tab does not really matter, as, for replenishment, only the route of
-the components that will be taken into account only.

+   :alt: Kit selection on the bill of materials.
 
-All other parameters on the kit product may be modified according to your preference. The component
-products require no particular configuration.
+If the kit is solely being used as a sellable product, then only components need to be added under
+the :guilabel:`Components` tab, and configuring manufacturing operations is not necessary.
 
-Once the products are configured, create a *bill of materials* for the kit product. Add each component
-and its quantity. Select the *BoM Type* Kit. All other options may be left with their default values.
+.. note::
+   When a kit is sold as a product, it appears as a single line item on the quotation and
+   sales order. However, on delivery orders, each component of the kit is listed.

+Use kits to manage complex BoMs
+===============================
 
-Manage Stock of Kit Product and Component Products
-==================================================
+Kits are also used to manage *multilevel* :abbr:`BoMs (Bills of Materials)`. These are products
+that contain other products as components and therefore require nested :abbr:`BoMs (Bills of
+Materials)`. Incorporating pre-configured kits into multilevel :abbr:`BoMs (Bills of Materials)`
+allows for cleaner organization of bundled products. Under :guilabel:`Components`, list a kit as a
+component in a higher-level product's :abbr:`BoM (Bills of Material)` to eliminate the need to add
+the kit's parts individually. Any :guilabel:`BoM Type` can be used for the higher-level product's
+:abbr:`BoM (Bill of Materials)`.
 
-If you want to manage the stock of the *top-level kit product*, you will use a standard *BoM Type*
-manufacture or subcontracting instead. In this case you will either buy the final product from your
-subcontractor, or make it yourself through a manufacturing order.
+.. image:: kit_shipping/multilevel-bom-kit.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: Kit as a component in a multilevel bill of materials.
 
-In that case the product type will be storable, and the BOM type either 'Manufacture this product'
-or 'Subcontracting' as shown below.
+To access a comprehensive overview of the multilevel :abbr:`BoM's (Bill of Material's)`
+components, click on the :guilabel:`Structure & Cost` smart button. Sublevel :abbr:`BoMs (Bills of
+Materials)` can be expanded and viewed from this report.

+When creating a manufacturing order for a product with a multilevel :abbr:`BoM (Bill of
+Materials)`, the kit product automatically expands to show all components. Any operations in the
+kit's :abbr:`BoM (Bill of Materials)` are also added to the list of work orders on the
+manufacturing order.
 
-Build a cleaner BOM
-====================
-
-As suggested above, a kit BOM can also simply be used to manage a more complex BOM.
-
-Imagine the Custom Computer parts above were part of another final product. It would be much
-clearer and simpler if the BOMs were added together (as shown below) instead of adding all
-the individual parts one by one.
-
-.. image:: kit_shipping/kit-bom4.png
-    :align: center
-
-This is even better illustrated when looking at the BOM Structure Report, where it is
-easy to expand and hide specific kit level or sub-assembly type BOMs.
-
-.. image:: kit_shipping/kit-bom5.png
-    :align: center
-
-On the creation of the manufacturing order, the BOM will automatically expand to show all
-top level and kit level components. You can go back to the BOM at any point though as it
-remains  available on the form view of your manufacturing order.
-
-.. image:: kit_shipping/kit-bom6.png
-    :align: center
-
-Finally, note that if there were any Operations in the Kit BOM, these would also simply be added
-in to the work order list of the main component.
+.. note::
+   Kits are primarily used to bundle components together for organization or sale. To manage
+   multilevel products that require manufactured subcomponents, refer to :doc:`this documentation
+   <sub_assemblies>` on sub-assemblies.
