There is a module called product_cost_incl_bom which should meet your requirements. I have tested it in v7 and it seems to work as intended.
You will also need the module called product_get_cost_field. Download the .zip files and just drop them in your addons folder and update the module list.
Thank you - all working - so the next question to be asked on a differnet thread is how does one get the system to auto calculate how many kits are in stock based on BOM?
I have another question. in order to update the cost of a multi level BOM, we would need updating result of calculation "cost price incl. BOM" into the field "Cost Price". How can we do that? Is it only a tuning in the implementation of this module?
Please start a new question for that! It is something I am also interested in.
I think i found the solution: you have to modify product_cost_incl_bom.py line 62:
change: "std_price = sub_product.standard_price"
by: "std_price = sub_product.cost_price"
Hope this help.
Hi Oliver,
tested this morning, you get what you are looking for by installing this 2 modules:
Theses modules are v6.1 but work out-of-the box on version 7.0.
After installing, you get a new field in product view Cost Price (incl. BoM) : The cost price is the standard price or, if the product has a bom, the sum of all standard price of its components. it take also care of the bom costing like cost per cycle.
Yes, I also use those modules, but the cost(incl BOM) is NOT used to calculate margin on the sales order line. Therefore the actual margin shown is incorrect. You can use it for external reports, but as for actual manufacturing costs, say for commission, and/or for a labor intensive operation, this will not work.
