+How to create a Bill of Materials
+=================================
+
+A bill of materials (BoM) is a document that describes the component
+products, the quantity of each component, and the process required to
+manufacture a product, including a routing and individual steps.
+
+In Odoo, each product may have multiple BoMs associated with it, but a
+BoM can only be associated with a single product. A single BoM can,
+however, describe multiple variants of the same product.
+
+Setting up a Basic BoM
+======================
+
+If you choose to manage your manufacturing operations using manufacturing
+orders only, you will define basic bills of materials without routings.
+For more information about which method of management to use, review the
+**Getting Started** section of the *Manufacturing* chapter of the
+documentation.
+
+Before creating your first bill of materials, you will need to create a
+product and at least one component (components are considered products
+in Odoo). You can do so from :menuselection:`Master Data --> Products`, or
+on the fly from the relevant fields on the BoM form. Review the
+Inventory chapter for more information about configuring products. Once
+you have created a product and at least one component, select them from
+the relevant dropdown menus to add them to your bill of materials. A new
+bill of materials can be created from :menuselection:`Master Data --> Bills of Materials`,
+or using the button on the top of the product form.
+
+Under the **Miscellaneous** tab, you can fill additional fields.
+**Sequence** defines the order in which your BoMs will be selected
+for production orders, with lower numbers having higher priority.
+**Version** allows you to track changes to your BoM over time.
+
+Adding a Routing to a BoM
+=========================
+
+A routing defines a series of operations required to manufacture a
+product and the work center at which each operation is performed. A
+routing may be added to multiple BoMs, though a BoM may only have one
+routing. For more information about configuring routings, review the
+chapter on routings.
+
+After enabling routings from :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`,
+you will be able to add a routing to a bill of materials by selecting a
+routing from the dropdown list or creating one on the fly.
+
+You may define the work operation or step in which each component is
+consumed using the field, **Consumed in Operation** under the
+**Components** tab. Similarly, you can define the operation at which the
+product will be produced under the **Miscellaneous** tab using the field
+**Produced at Operation**. If this field is left blank, the products
+will be consumed/produced at the final operation in the routing.

+
+Adding Byproducts to a BoM
+==========================
+
+In Odoo, a byproduct is any product produced by a BoM in addition to the
+primary product.
+
+To add byproducts to a BoM, you will first need to enable them from
+:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. 
+
+.. image:: media/bill_configuration02.png
+    :align: center
+
+Once byproducts are enabled, you can add them to your bills of materials
+under the **Byproducts** tab of the bill of materials. You can add
+any product or products as byproducts. Byproducts are produced in the
+same step of the routing as the primary product of the BoM.
+

+
+Setting up a BoM for a Product With Sub-Assemblies
+==================================================
+
+A subassembly is a manufactured product which is intended to be used as
+a component of another manufactured product. You may wish to employ
+sub-assemblies to simplify a complex BoM, to more accurately represent
+your manufacturing flow, or to use the same subassembly in multiple
+BoMs. A BoM that employs subassemblies is often referred to as a
+multi-level BoM.
+
+Multi-level bills of materials in Odoo are accomplished by creating a
+top-level BoM and subassembly BoMs. Next, the procurement route of the
+subassembly product is defined. This ensures that every time a
+manufacturing order for the top-level product is created, a
+manufacturing order for each subassembly is created as well.
+
+Configure the Top-Level Product BoM
+-----------------------------------
+
+To configure a multi-level BoM, create the top-level product and its
+BoM. Include any subassemblies in the list of components. Create a BoM
+for each subassembly as you would for any product.
+
+.. image:: media/bill_configuration04.png
+    :align: center
+
+Configure the Subassembly Product Data
+--------------------------------------
+
+On the product form of the subassembly, you must select the routes
+**Manufacture** and **Make To Order**. The **Manufacture**
+route takes precedence over the **Buy** route, so selecting the
+latter will have no effect. 
+
+.. image:: media/bill_configuration05.png
+    :align: center
+
+If you would like to be able to purchase the subassembly in addition to
+manufacturing it, select **Can be Purchased**. All other fields on
+the subassembly product form may be configured according to your
+preference.
+
+Using a Single BoM to Describe Several Variants of a Single Product
+===================================================================
+
+Odoo allows you to use one bill of materials for multiple variants of
+the same product. Simply enable variants from
+:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`.
+
+.. image:: media/bill_configuration06.png
+    :align: center
+
+You will then be able to specify which component lines are to be used in
+the manufacture of each product variant. You may specify multiple
+variants for each line. If no variant is specified, the line will be
+used for all variants.
+
+When defining variant BoMs on a line-item-basis, the **Product
+Variant** field in the main section of the BoM should be left blank.
+This field is used when creating a BoM for one variant of a product
+only.

+======================================
+How to Sell a Set of Products as a Kit
+======================================
+
+A *kit* is a set of components that are delivered without first being
+assembled or mixed. Kits are described in Odoo using *bills of
+materials*. There are two basic ways to configure kits, depending on
+how stock of the kit product is to be managed. In either case, both the
+Inventory and Manufacturing apps must be installed.
+
+Manage Stock of Component Products
+==================================
+
+If you would like to assemble kits as they are ordered, managing stock
+of the kit *components* only, you will use a Kit BoM without a
+manufacturing step.
+
+A product using a Kit BoM will appear as a single line item on a
+quotation and sales order, but will generate a delivery order with one
+line item for each of the components of the kit. In the examples below,
+the image at left shows a sales order for the kit "Custom Computer Kit",
+while the image at right shows the corresponding delivery order.
+
+|image0|\ |image1|
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+From the **Products** menu in either the Inventory or Manufacturing
+app, create each component product as you would any other product, then
+create the top-level, or kit product. The kit product should have only
+the route **Manufacture** set. Because you cannot track the stock of
+kit products, the Product Type should be set to **Consumable**.
+Because a kit product cannot be purchased, **Can be Purchased**
+should be unchecked.
+
+All other parameters on the kit product may be modified according to
+your preference. The component products require no special
+configuration.
+
+.. image:: media/kit_shipping03.png
+    :align: center
+
+Once the products are configured, create a bill of materials for the kit
+product. Add each component and its quantity. Select the BoM Type
+**Ship this product as a set of components**. All other options may
+be left with their default values.
+
+.. image:: media/kit_shipping04.png
+    :align: center
+
+Manage Stock of Kit Product and Component Products
+==================================================
+
+If you would like to manage stock of the top-level kit product, you will
+use a standard BoM with a manufacturing step instead of a Kit BoM. When
+using a standard BoM to assemble kits, a manufacturing order will be
+created. The manufacturing order must be registered as completed before
+the kit product will appear in your stock.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+On the kit product, select the route **Manufacture**. You may also
+select **Make to Order**, which will create a manufacturing order
+whenever a sales order is confirmed. Select the product type
+**Stockable Product** to enable stock management.
+
+.. image:: media/kit_shipping05.png
+    :align: center
+
+When you create the bill of materials, select the BoM Type
+**Manufacture this product**. The assembly of the kit will be
+described by a manufacturing order rather than a packing operation.

+How to process a manufacturing order
+====================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+There are two basic ways to manage manufacturing in Odoo. The first way
+manages work with one document only. This document is the
+**manufacturing order**. The second way uses additional documents to
+give you more precise control over the manufacturing process. In this
+way, **Manufacturing orders** are divided into one or more steps
+defined by **work orders**, performed in an order defined by
+**routings**.
+
+How to manage manufacturing without routings
+============================================
+
+You will most likely use manufacturing orders without routings if all
+the work to produce your product is performed in one place, by one
+person, in one step, and/or you do not need the level of granular
+control afforded by work orders and routings.
+
+Managing your operations in this way is the default behavior in Odoo.
+There are two basic phases from planning to production:
+
+1. Create manufacturing orders
+
+2. Record Production
+
+How to manage manufacturing with routings and work orders
+=========================================================
+
+To use work orders and routings, you will need to enable the option
+**Manage production by work orders** From
+:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. You will then be able to add
+routings to bills of materials, and configure some additional related
+fields. You will also be able to create **work centers**, the
+locations at which work orders are performed.
+
+When manufacturing with routings and work orders, each work order is
+scheduled individually. You will also have access to time and capacity
+planning, and reports on costing and efficiency on a work center level.
+
+Manufacturing using routings can be broken down into several steps. When
+configuring your BoM, you will need to add a routing defining the
+component work orders. After planning the manufacturing order, you will
+have the added step of scheduling work orders.
+
+The workflow is thus divided into three basic phases, as follows:
+
+1. Create manufacturing orders
+
+2. Schedule the associated work orders.
+
+3. Perform the scheduled work and record production.
