This module was written to be able to quickly create the BoM for your product. There is a new "Bill of Materials" tab in the product form view that allows the user to add a BoM and its lines directly.
Beware that this functionality is relevant only when one product template has one Bill of Materials, and works only for product templates for simplicity's sake.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0Adds a Bill of Materials tab to the product form so users can create a BoM and edit its components directly from the product, without going to the Manufacturing app.
This module adds a new "Bill of Materials" tab on the product form (the product template screen). It is designed for the simple case where a product has only one Bill of Materials.
What users can do: - If the product has no BoM yet, the tab shows a warning and a "Create BoM" button. Clicking it creates a normal Bill of Materials for that product. - If the product has exactly one BoM, the tab shows its component lines in an editable list, where users can add or change the component product, the quantity, and the variant attribute values. - If the product is linked to more than one BoM, the tab shows a warning that changes must be made from the BoM side, and the component list is hidden.
Automatic behaviour:
- A computed field bom_id on product.template stores the single BoM when there is exactly one; otherwise it is empty. This drives which message or list is shown.
- The component list is a related field to the BoM lines, so edits made in the tab are saved on the BoM itself.
The module touches product.template and mrp.bom and only adds a tab to the existing product form view; it does not create new menus.
