When we manufacture a Product at higher volumes, the cost goes down.  I want to compare the cost of a BOM at different quantity levels before creating a Manufacturing Order.

For each product, I have entered quotes at different quantities.  

We use multi-level BOM's.  We can currently see a BOM cost based on the cost of each product in the BOM.  I just want to calculate what my cost would be at different quantities of the top level BOM.  For example, I have my product costs listed for the lowest quantity quoted by vendors.  I have quotes entered for different, higher volumes.   I want to calculate the total BOM cost at different quantity levels.  But I just want to calculate it and not have to switch every product cost to the lower cost/higher volume to be able to calculate the theoretical cost.  Some of our BOM's have 1,000's of products in multiple levels in them.  Is there an add-on app or module to do this?

in v14 the BOM structure and cost report allows entry of different qty's to manufacture and hence see the variations in the cost as the volume goes up.  Isn't this what you want?

Andrew, yes, but I want to be able to evaluate my BOM cost at different levels before I issue the MO.  But I think that I can do what you are describing for vendors now by putting the highest qty first, then lower qty under the first supplier.  Odoo will seek out the proper quote from the list.  What I want to do is then have a way to get a BOM cost based on the qty at the top level.  So if I have every product quoted at 1 and 10 for qty as separate quotes on each product, I want then to calculate BOM cost for the top level at 1 and 10 qty.  Then I can decide how many of the top level BOM to release in the MO based on cost.  I hope this makes sense.

I do not believe a module like this exists currently. From my understanding you are essentially looking for dynamic BoM's? Like if quantity of a component is greater than X, switch from one supplier to another?
