Is it possible to invoice individual components for a KIT product?

Currently the Sale order and Invoice is for the (ordered/ delivered) Qty and the price set on KIT product. We want to have the SO for KIT product, but invoice the individual components Qty and price.

The case we have is 1. the cost/price of KIT product isn't fixed and varies based on order Qty of KIT (components aren't used in a fixed ratio) 2. Partially delivered or over delivered components aren't accounted for.

In V15 if additional products or Qty for an order are delivered, it updated the SO lines and makes it possible to invoice customer. However, for a KIT product, the done quantities are updated in multiple lines of a delivery order and only a single sale order line.

Maybe this module can solve your issue:

(unfortunately it has not been migrated to version 15 yet)

Hi, 

Did you find a solution as I have the same problem. My issue is the number of variants on the product make a set make it impractical to use.

Hi Jaideep: The standard functionality does not support this. The Invoice lines and Sales Order lines have to be for the same product for the system to be able to update the Invoiced quantities correctly on the SO.

Hi Paresh, thanks for response and thoughts.

Yes, we certainly need to retain the standard functionality of SO lines to Invoiced products.

Currently, the SO and Delivery Order have different products for a KIT. SO has KIT while delivery order has components. What might be a solution is to create the component product lines on the SO. Exactly the same way as Odoo 15, creates SO lines for products added directly a delivery order. Of course this does mean duplication of the product on the SO.

This will require some more research and thought. The functionality you are referring to, i.e. where the products added to the DO get added to the SO for Invoicing, works when you add new products to the DO. In your case, you are planning on updating the components of an exploded BoM and that too, the updates may not be in the same proportion as the BoM. This makes it challenging.

Thanks Paresh,

Yes, that is correct. The thought is to replicate DO lines in SO for the components of exploded BOM. Similar to that of a new product line added to DO. The order qty (demand) of components would be in the proportion as set in BOM, while "done'/ delivered qty would be the actual on DO line.

With the above method, clearly the product/ component quantities on SO would be duplicated - as in included in KIT product as well as individual component. We would be able to avoid double charge on the invoice by making the price of KIT product as '0'. However we not sure how it would affect inventory.

Would greatly appreciate any insights, thoughts, suggestions, feedback!
