+===================================
+Use flexible components consumption
+===================================
+
+Sometimes, you might need more components than usual to manufacture a
+product. Let’s say that you produce a desk combination of 4 desks and
+two chairs but your customer asks you 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.

+
+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.

+
+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*.

+
+When the job is over, you will find a summary of your component
+consumption in the *Finished Steps* tab of your work order.
