Introduction

Bill of materials (BOM) production in Openbravo ERP is a quick way of manufacturing products which do not require a production process but are only packed and delivered (kits of products, Christmas hampers, ...). This process updates in the warehouses the stock of products used.

This article will describe:

1. the setup of a BOM product,
2. the production of a BOM product,
3. the accounting of the BOM production,
4. and the stock of a BOM product.

BOM Product Setup

The setup of a BOM product involves 3 steps:

1. the creation of the product,
2. the definition of its list of materials
3. and its validation.

BOM Product

Create a BOM product following these steps:

1. Navigate to Master Data Management || Product
2. Create a new record:
   1. Search Key = workkit
   2. Name = Work Kit
   3. Product Category = Tools
   4. UOM = Unit
   5. Product Type = Item
   6. Stocked = Yes (ticked)
   7. Production = No (un-ticket)
   8. Storage Bin = ML1
   9. Bill of Materials = Yes (ticked)
   10. Purchase = No (un-ticket)
   11. Sale = Yes (ticked)
   12. Tax Category = VAT 16%

Bill of Materials

Define the bill (list) of materials or components of the Work Kit product:

1. Navigate to Bill of Materials tab.
2. Create a new record:
   1. BOM Type = Part/BOM
   2. BOM Product = Hat
   3. BOM Quantity = 1
3. Create a second record:
   1. BOM Type = Part/BOM
   2. BOM Product = Hammer
   3. BOM Quantity = 1
4. Create a third record:
   1. BOM Type = Part/BOM
   2. BOM Product = Boots
   3. BOM Quantity = 2

Validate BOM Product

Validate the bill of materials defined by checking that there is no loop of products (for instance, product A is made of product B which is made of product A).

1. Navigate back to Product tab.
2. Click on Verify BOM button.
3. Process completes successfully and BOM Verified check-box is ticked.

BOM Production

Let's produce and account some Work Kits.

Create Production

Create automatically the I/O products for 5 Work Kits.

1. Navigate to Warehouse Management || Transactions || Bill of Materials Production || BOM Production.
2. Create a new record:
   1. Name = Production of 5 Work Kits
   2. Project = select a project if you want this BOM production to be associated to a project
3. Navigate to Production Plan tab.
4. Create a new record:
   1. Product = Work Kit
   2. Production Quantity = 5
5. Navigate back to BOM Production tab.
6. Click on Create/Post Production button.
7. Process completes successfully and Records Created check-box is ticked.
8. Navigate to Production Plan tab and then to I/O Products tab.
