+==================== 
+
+As suggested above, a kit BOM can also simply be used to manage a more complex BOM.

+clearer and simpler if the BOMs were added together (as shown below) instead of adding all 
+the individual parts one by one.
+
+.. image:: media/kit-bom4.png

+easy to expand and hide specific kit level or sub-assembly type BOMs. 
+
+.. image:: media/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:: media/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.
