Product Configurator Sales Manufacturing

This module links the product configurator used in sales with manufacturing. When a user configures a product through the sales configurator wizard, the system looks for a bill of materials (the recipe of components used to manufacture the product) and saves it on the resulting sales order line.

• A new read-only field bom_id is added to sale.order.line, showing which bill of materials was selected for that line.
• The sales configurator wizard (product.configurator.sale) is extended so that, when it builds the values for the order line, it searches for the first bill of materials matching the configured product and stores it on the line.
• The procurement rule logic (stock.rule) is extended so that, when Odoo looks for the matching bill of materials to manufacture a product, it first checks the bill of materials already recorded on the related sales order line and uses it if present.

Because the module is set to install automatically, it activates as soon as its dependencies are present. It touches the sales order line, the sales configurator wizard and the stock rule used for manufacturing procurement. No new menus or screens are added; the effect is visible on the sales order line where the bill of materials is recorded and used downstream in manufacturing.
