Advanced configuration

Odoo Manufacturing’s advanced configuration options extend basic bills of materials (BoMs) to cover more complex production needs. They help manufacturers who sell product variants, build multi-level assemblies, or need to schedule work across dedicated work centres.

What advanced configuration covers

These settings let a company model production more precisely: assigning different BoM lines to specific product variants, building kits that combine several products for sale, structuring multilevel BoMs for sub-assemblies, setting up work centres with capacity and cost, and defining dependencies between work orders so steps happen in the right sequence.

Topics covered in this knowledge base

This section covers managing BoMs for product variants, kits, multilevel BoMs, work centres, and work order dependencies.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need advanced BoM configuration?

When products have variants, multiple sub-assembly levels, or are sold as kits, so a single simple bill of materials is not enough.

What is a work centre in Odoo Manufacturing?

A work centre represents a machine or group of workers that carries out one or more operations of a manufacturing order.
