I am relatively certain that this is not possible at the moment - unless there is an app that does it - so this is more a suggestion for something that would be nice to have.

When using product variants, where the variants are only created when they are added to a sales order, the variant will be created without having a BoM.

It would be really practical if the Attribute Values could be tied to specific components/product templates, so that when a variant is created, it also creates a BoM for the variant, based on a "Base BoM" for the product, and components that match the Attribute Values that are chosen. 

At the moment we have to "manually" specify a new BoM every time a new variant is created.

I understand your point here, but the main use for the variant is to have different specifications for the same product to minimize the count of products in the warehouse. creating a variant only adds a simple cost for the product, without altering other products in the process.

If you used variant as products then it will be many to many relations and will cause difficulties to handle later on.

Use KIT instead, it will do just want you to need easily without BOM
