Automating Quantity Calculation in BoM Based on Product properties

Description:

Hello Odoo Community,

I’m working on setting up a manufacturing process in Odoo where the cost of products is calculated using a Bill of Materials (BoM). The challenge I'm facing involves calculating the quantity of raw materials needed for a product based on its properties, such as dimensions (e.g., length, width, height).

Scenario:

We are manufacturing a product called a "Raised Bed." One of the raw materials required for this product is wood. The quantity of wood required is directly dependent on the dimensions of the raised bed. 


Objective:

I would like to automate this process so that when a product variant is selected (with specific dimensions), the BoM automatically calculates the quantity of wood required based on the dimensions and updates the cost accordingly.


Question:

Is there any way to achieve this kind of dynamic quantity calculation within the standard Odoo functionality or using Odoo Studio, without custom development? Perhaps there is an Odoo module or a workaround that I haven’t considered?

Any insights, suggestions, or examples from your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This will require developments. But I think possible with an server action. If you can create a rule for the calculation.

Since you are using the manufacturing module, try out the module: MO and BoM variance whose author is intelliVersal integrated solutions. This module generates a variance analysis report showing the quantity and cost differences between BoM and actual MO.

You can achieve it using module Automation Rules​and Odoo Studio

  1. First create a new field using Odoo Studio in product form for checkboxwood​product (ex: labelis_wood​)
  2. Create new automation rule that trigger when the product variant​inside BoM form is changed.
  3. Add this sample code 
# search wood product
wood = env['product.product'].search([
    ('x_studio_is_wood', '=', True)
], limit=1)

# automatic add wood as component
wood_bom_line = records.bom_line_ids.filtered(lambda r: r.product_id.x_studio_is_wood)
if not wood_bom_line and records:
    wood_bom_line = env['mrp.bom.line'].create(dict(
        bom_id                  = wood.id,
        product_qty             = 0,
    ))
    record.update(dict(bom_line_ids=[(6, 0, wood_bom_line.ids)]))

# put your custom formula here based on weight, height etc
product_variant = records.product_id
quantity = product_variant.weight + 7777

# update qty
wood_bom_line.update(dict(product_qty = quantity))
