Hi Paresh, thanks for response and thoughts.

Yes, we certainly need to retain the standard functionality of SO lines to Invoiced products.

Currently, the SO and Delivery Order have different products for a KIT. SO has KIT while delivery order has components. What might be a solution is to create the component product lines on the SO. Exactly the same way as Odoo 15, creates SO lines for products added directly a delivery order. Of course this does mean duplication of the product on the SO.

This will require some more research and thought. The functionality you are referring to, i.e. where the products added to the DO get added to the SO for Invoicing, works when you add new products to the DO. In your case, you are planning on updating the components of an exploded BoM and that too, the updates may not be in the same proportion as the BoM. This makes it challenging.

Thanks Paresh,

Yes, that is correct. The thought is to replicate DO lines in SO for the components of exploded BOM. Similar to that of a new product line added to DO. The order qty (demand) of components would be in the proportion as set in BOM, while "done'/ delivered qty would be the actual on DO line.

With the above method, clearly the product/ component quantities on SO would be duplicated - as in included in KIT product as well as individual component. We would be able to avoid double charge on the invoice by making the price of KIT product as '0'. However we not sure how it would affect inventory.

Would greatly appreciate any insights, thoughts, suggestions, feedback!
