How to Sell a Set of Products as a Kit
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
A *kit* is a set of components that are delivered without first being
|
|
assembled or mixed. Kits are described in Odoo using *bills of
|
|
materials*. There are two basic ways to configure kits, depending on
|
|
how stock of the kit product is to be managed. In either case, both the
|
|
Inventory and Manufacturing apps must be installed.
|
|
|
|
Manage Stock of Component Products
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
If you would like to assemble kits as they are ordered, managing stock
|
|
of the kit *components* only, you will use a Kit BoM without a
|
|
manufacturing step.
|
|
|
|
A product using a Kit BoM will appear as a single line item on a
|
|
quotation and 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 image at left shows a sales order for the kit "Custom Computer Kit",
|
|
while the image at right shows the corresponding delivery order.

|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
From the **Products** menu in either the Inventory or Manufacturing
|
|
app, create each component product as you would any other product, then
|
|
create the top-level, or kit product. The kit product should have only
|
|
the route **Manufacture** set. Because you cannot track the stock of
|
|
kit products, the Product Type should be set to **Consumable**.
|
|
Because a kit product cannot be purchased, **Can be Purchased**
|
|
should be unchecked.
|
|
|
|
All other parameters on the kit product may be modified according to
|
|
your preference. The component products require no special
|
|
configuration.

|
Once the products are configured, create a bill of materials for the kit
|
|
product. Add each component and its quantity. Select the BoM Type
|
|
**Ship this product as a set of components**. All other options may
|
|
be left with their default values.

Manage Stock of Kit Product and Component Products
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
If you would like to manage stock of the top-level kit product, you will
|
|
use a standard BoM with a manufacturing step instead of a Kit BoM. When
|
|
using a standard BoM to assemble kits, a manufacturing order will be
|
|
created. The manufacturing order must be registered as completed before
|
|
the kit product will appear in your stock.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
On the kit product, select the route **Manufacture**. You may also
|
|
select **Make to Order**, which will create a manufacturing order
|
|
whenever a sales order is confirmed. Select the product type
|
|
**Stockable Product** to enable stock management.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
When you create the bill of materials, select the BoM Type
|
|
**Manufacture this product**. The assembly of the kit will be
|
|
described by a manufacturing order rather than a packing operation.
