Hi,


I've created a product in odoo online that has a bill of materials that looks like this


  • My Product
    • Components
      • Purchased Product 1 (Inventory Tracking enabled and in stock)
      • Purchased Product 2 (Inventory Tracking enabled and in stock)
      • Manufactured Product 1 (Inventory Tracking disabled)
        • Purchased Product 3 (Inventory Tracking enabled and in stock)
        • Operation 1
      • Manufactured Product 2 (Inventory Tracking disabled)
        • Purchased Product 4 (Inventory Tracking enabled and in stock)
        • Operation 2

When creating Manufacturing order for "My Product" and clicking "Produce all", quantity on hand for "Purchased Product 1" and "Purchased Product 2" are updated correctly but "Purchased Product 3" and "Purchased Product 4" quantities are not updated.

Thanks for your reply.

Manufactured Product 1 and 2 are coating and welding.

Maybe there's a better way to represent them. 

As can be seen from the OP they consist of operations and (bill of) materials.

Tracking inventory for them isn't a major issue I think.

I've activated inventory tracking for Product 1 and Product 2 now and tried it again.
Now I get a negative amount for quantity on hand for both products and inventory for Purchased Product 3 an Purchased Product 4 still isn't updated.

I'm using single step manufacturing.

To give advice on this is difficult without actually look at the masterdata and a mnufacturing order. But using a semi finished product, like "Manufactured Product 2 (Inventory Tracking disabled)" will not work in a single level setup.

Manufactured product 1 and 2 must have their own manufacturing order to confirm and be stock managed. They will not be confirmed from the order to manufacture My Product.

This is called multilevel manufacturing. 

If you want to have all purchased product in one manufacturing order (single level manufacturing), you do not use Manufactured product without inventory.  

You can still assign purchase product 2 and tree to specific operation and work center. You would also the have an operation where you consume Purchased product 1 and 2.

There are pros and cons for organizing manufacturing as single level or multi level. What to choose depends a lot of how the actual work shop looks like and how actual work is planned and executed.
