BoM on Sales Order Line

Choose exactly which Bill of Materials drives each Manufacturing Order - directly from the Sales Order line. Eliminate wrong-BoM surprises when a product has multiple manufacture BoMs.



 Problem: Odoo auto-picks the first BoM - you cannot control which one is used per SO line

In standard Odoo, when a confirmed Sales Order triggers an MTO Manufacturing Order, the system picks a Bill of Materials automatically. If a product has multiple manufacture BoMs (different variants, different components, different production processes), there is no way to specify which BoM applies to a specific SO line. Odoo simply picks the first match.

  • Multiple BoMs for the same product -> wrong BoM may be auto-selected
  • No field on the SO line to indicate which BoM should drive the MO
  • Different customer orders may require different production processes
  • Product variants or seasonal configurations need distinct BoMs per order
  • Manually editing the generated MO to change the BoM is error-prone and time-consuming


 Solution: A dedicated BoM column on every SO line - pick the exact BoM before confirming

This module adds a BoM column directly inside the Sales Order line table. For each product line, you can select any manufacture Bill of Materials associated with that product. The dropdown is filtered automatically - only manufacture BoMs for the selected product are shown. When the SO is confirmed, the chosen BoM flows directly into the generated Manufacturing Order via the MTO procurement chain, overriding Odoo's automatic selection. If no BoM is specified, Odoo's standard auto-detection applies as a safe fallback.



 Key Features

BoM Column in SO Line Table

A new BoM column appears in the Order Lines tab of every Sales Order. It is visible by default and can be toggled from the column picker like any optional column.

Smart Product-Filtered Dropdown

The BoM selector only shows manufacture BoMs that match the product on that line. Change the product and the BoM field clears automatically - no stale selections.

MTO Chain Propagation

The selected BoM is correctly propagated through the full MTO procurement chain. The Manufacturing Order inherits the exact BoM - no manual MO editing needed.

Safe Fallback - Zero Impact if Unused

If no BoM is selected on the line, Odoo's standard auto-detection runs unchanged. The module is fully non-breaking - existing SOs and workflows are unaffected.

Works with MTO + Manufacture Routes

Designed for products with Make to Order + Manufacture routes. The BoM selection is respected regardless of how deep the procurement chain runs.

Odoo 18 & 19 Compatible

Available for both Odoo 18 and Odoo 19. Depends only on sale_stock and mrp - no extra libraries or enterprise modules required.



 How It Works - Step by Step
1
Product with Multiple BoMs

Product has two or more manufacture BoMs - e.g. BLUE and BLACK variants. Without this module, Odoo picks one automatically.

BoM Column on Sales Order

A BoM column appears in the Order Lines tab. Select the desired BoM per line - the dropdown shows only matching manufacture BoMs.

4
Confirm the Sales Order

Confirm the SO. The Manufacturing smart button appears. The BoM column shows the selected BoM - it persists on the confirmed order.

MO Inherits the Selected BoM

Open the generated Manufacturing Order. The Bill of Material field shows exactly the BoM you chose - BLACK in this example. No manual editing required.

 Important Notes
  • The BoM must be of type Manufacture this product - kit or subcontracting BoMs are excluded from the dropdown.
  • The product must have the Manufacture route (and ideally Replenish on Order / MTO) configured to trigger automatic MO creation on SO confirmation.
  • Leaving the BoM field empty on a line causes Odoo's standard auto-selection to run - no change in behavior for those lines.
  • Changing the Product on a line clears the BoM field automatically to avoid mismatches.
  • Requires sale_stock and mrp to be installed. Compatible with both community and enterprise.
