Is there any workaround to have reordering rules for products which have Kits?

Like, I don't even understand why this limitation is in place, and it's going to be massively annoying for me.

The only thing that comes to my mind is to delete the kit, and have a normal manufacturing rule instead, it de-automates some things but maybe it's doable.

Still I don't get it.

Any ideas?

Note: I'm on Odoo Web/Online/However-it's-called.

'why this limitation is in place' is because a Kit is not physically stored. The Components, used to put together such a Kit, are. Kits are just a sales and delivery convenience, not inventory units.

Likewise you also just can't set a Quantity On Hand for a Kit since Odoo would tell 'You should update the components quantity instead of directly updating the quantity of the kit product'.

Reason for this is, upon for example delivering a Kit, say from a Sale Order, Odoo will extract the Components necessary to fulfill the need. Same is true for purchases:



Point being, Kits are designed to provide flexibility on its components usage without the need to deal with actual manufacturing processes. Kit A may consist of 1x Component A and 1x Component B while Kit B may consist of 2x Component A and 1x Component C. This means with a Quantity on Hand of 10 for each component, you may sell Kit A 10 times, Kit B 5 times or any combination such as 6x Kit A and 2x Kit B.

Kits  are meant to be assembled at delivery - so they never exist until they are sold.

So no, there shouldn't be a workaround in Odoo Online as this is just what Kits are supposed to be and do.
