I also have this question. I basically need to be able to see the bill of materials in a nested list view. I know you can do this in a report but that has a lot of limitations in terms of editing data and changing things that are in there. 

I essentially need to be able to see something like this in Odoo. Is this possible? I've used quite a few ERP / BOM / manufacturing software systems and I haven't seen one that doesn't have this option, so I'm wondering if I'm just missing something. 

 In Odoo, BOM can be defined at nested levels, which means components of BOM can be another BOM. You can define BOM with following type

• Kit 

• Manufacture this product

KIT

When you define KIT type BOM and when you add KIT products in the sales order, by default the components will be added in the delivery order.  So whenever you will receive and KIt products order, stock will be deducted from the components. 

Manufacture this product

In this type components will be consumed and finish products will be added to stock by the processing Manufacturing order. In this you will receive sales order for finish products and stock will be deducted from the finish products as well. 

Hi,

You can define the bill of materials for each products separately from the bill of materials menu. Then if you create a sale order for the product the manufacturing orders will get generated for each of the products having the bom.

Thanks
