Create Bills of Materials
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
A *Bill of Materials* is a document defining the quantity of each
|
|
component required to manufacture a finished product. It also includes
|
|
the routing and individual steps of the manufacturing process.
|
|
|
|
With Odoo, you can link multiple BoMs to each product and use it to
|
|
describe multiple variants of them. Each BoM will, yet, be associated
|
|
with one product only.
|
|
|
|
This feature will help optimize your manufacturing process while saving
|
|
you time.
|
|
|
|
Setting up a BoM
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
You can use BoMs without routings. You will use this if you choose to
|
|
manage your manufacturing operations using manufacturing orders only. In
|
|
other words, you choose to realize your manufacturing process in one
|
|
step and do not track the steps the product goes through.
|
|
|
|
Before creating your *BoM*, you have to create the product using the
|
|
*BoM* and, at least, one of the components. Go to the :menuselection:`Master Data menu --> Products`
|
|
and create both the finished product and the component.
|
|
|
|
Once done, go to the *Bills of Materials* menu under *Master Data*.
|
|
Now, create it. Choose the product from the dropdown menu and add your
|
|
components and the quantity. In this case, keep the default *BoM*
|
|
type, which is *Manufacture this Product*.

Using the same BoM to describe Variants
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As said above, you can use *BoM* for *Product Variants*. It is
|
|
basically the same as for the standard product.
|
|
|
|
If your *BoM* is for one variant only, then specify which one in the
|
|
*Product Variant* field. If not, specify the variant it is consumed
|
|
for on each component line. You can add several variants for each
|
|
component.

|
Adding a routing
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
You can add routing to your *BoM*. You will do this if you need to
|
|
define a series of operations required by your manufacturing process. To
|
|
use it, enable the *Work Orders* feature in the *Manufacturing* app
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|

:align: center
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Each *BoM* can have only one routing while each routing can be used
|
|
multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Now that you have created your routing, add it to your *BoM*. You can
|
|
select when, in the work operations, your components are consumed with
|
|
the dropdown menu.

Adding By-Products
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
In Odoo, a *by-product* is any product produced by a *BoM* in
|
|
addition to the primary product.
|
|
|
|
To add *by-products* to a *BoM*, you will first need to enable them
|
|
from the *Manufacturing* app settings.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/bills_of_materials_05.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Once the feature is enabled, you can add your *By-Products* to your
|
|
*BoMs*. You can add as many *By-Products* as you want. Just keep in
|
|
mind that you need to register during which operation your by-product is
|
|
produced.
