Odoo 14 Community Edition

Configuration of Bill of Materials

The Bill of Materials is the document that defines the entire list of raw materials required for making a finished product. The Bill of Materials (BoM) will provide a clear insight into the quantities, routings, and individual steps to be followed in the particular manufacturing process. In the Odoo platform, these components and raw materials are termed as Bill of Materials (BoM).

For creating a Bill of Material you should create a product under the product menu available. After creating the product, you can create a Bill of Materials on the platform. The Bill of Materials menu in Odoo can be accessed from the Products tab of the Manufacturing module.
