I have entered my ingredients, and the costs for them per UoM, then used those ingredients to create a Bill of Materials for the finished product.  However, I am still not getting a value in the "Cost" field when looking at the finished product screen (the product with the BoM).

Is there some setting that I am missing?  My expectation was that Odoo would automatically calculate the Cost per unit based on the costs and use of the BoM.

Any helpers on this?

Thanks!

Hi John, 
Plese, mention the version of Odoo you are running anytime you post some question.

Now to your question:

Odoo has a method that triggers cost calculation based on BoM, it is called "Compute Price From BoM".

When you run this method, the system will calculate the cost of your finished product based on the cost of components and operations from the BoM.


In this case, it all comes down to running this method in the finished products you created.


By default you can do this in two ways:

1. From product form
Pic.1 Before running "Compute Price From BoM"

Pic.2. After running "Compute Price From BoM"

2. Mass action. (select the products in which you want to recalculate the cost based on BoM, then go to the "action" menu, then start the "Compute Price From BoM" action server)


*you can also create an automatic action, which, for example, will automatically run this method when creating / updating a BoM. But that's not part of your question.


** Please note that this will primarily become the Cost of your inventory when you produce this product (part of your Current Assets). This will become CoGS only after you sell this product.


***Pay attention to the inventory valuation methods you choose for your product. For example, if on the level of the Product Category you have "manual" valuation method, the system will not affect the Accounting module automatically when you sell your goods. You can read more about this in the tutorials.

Thank you!
v17+e appears to be the version I am using. I am not subscribed, just a few modules... maybe I'm missing a few that I need to subscribe to in order to complete this.

Many of those options I do not have, including "Compute Price From BoM"

BTW, how do you add screen shots? I don't see an option for that.

Hi John - the option should be available if you have Manufacturing installed. For individual products, it is only available if there is a BoM. Enter a '/' to add images, but you may not have enough "kudos".

John,
Your version of Odoo has the same method.
I advise you to check the following:
Method "Compute Price From BoM" is not available if the product's costing method = Automatic + FIFO

Thank you both.

I have Manufacturing installed.

Yaroslav,

Could you direct me to where that setting can be found? The Costing method.
