+# Bill of materials
+
+.. |BOM| replace:: :abbr:`BoM (Bill of Materials)`
+.. |BOMs| replace:: :abbr:`BoMs (Bills of Materials)`
+.. |MO| replace:: :abbr:`MO (Manufacturing Order)`
+
+A *bill of materials* (or *BoM* for short) documents specific components, along with their
+respective quantities, that are needed to produce or repair a product. In Odoo, |BoMs| as blueprints
+for manufactured goods and kits, and often include production operations and step-by-step
+guidelines, as well.
+
+# BoM setup
+
+To create a |BOM|, go to :menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Products --> Bills of Materials` and
+click :guilabel:`New`.
+
+Next, set the :guilabel:`BoM Type` to :guilabel:`Manufacture this Product`.
+
+Then, specify :ref:`required components <manufacturing/basic_setup/setup-components>` and, if
+necessary, define any :ref:`manufacturing operations <manufacturing/basic_setup/setup-operations>`.
+
+> **tip**:
+>    Individual |BOMs| can also be quickly accessed or created by clicking the :guilabel:`Bill of
+   Materials` smart button on any product form, as accessible through the *Sales*, *Inventory*, and
+   *Manufacturing* apps, as well as through any internal links where a product is referenced (such
+   as in a field or a line item).

+- :guilabel:`Work Center`: select existing locations to perform the operation, or create a new work
+  center by typing the name and selecting the :guilabel:`Create " "` option.
+- :guilabel:`Apply on Variants`: specify if this operation is only available for certain product
+  variants. If the operation applies to all product variants, leave this field blank.
+
+  .. seealso::
+     :doc:`Configuring BoMs for product variants <../advanced_configuration/product_variants>`
+
+- :guilabel:`Duration Computation`: choose how time spent on the operation is tracked. Opt for
+  :guilabel:`Compute based on tracked time` to use the operation's time tracker or :guilabel:`Set
+  duration manually` if operators can record and modify time themselves.
+
+  Choosing the :guilabel:`Compute based on tracked time` option enables the :guilabel:`Based on last
+  __ work orders` option, which automatically estimates the time to complete this operation based on
+  the last few operations. Choosing :guilabel:`Set duration manually` enables the :guilabel:`Default
+  Duration` field instead.
+- :guilabel:`Default Duration`: estimated amount of time to complete the operation; used for

+===================================
+# Manufacturing product configuration
+
+.. _manufacturing/management/configure-manufacturing-product:
+.. |BOM| replace:: :abbr:`BoM (Bill of Materials)`
+
+In order to manufacture a product in Odoo *Manufacturing*, the product must be properly configured.
+Doing so consists of enabling the *Manufacturing* route and configuring a bill of materials (BoM)
+for the product. Once these steps are completed, the product is selectable when creating a new
+manufacturing order.
+
+# Activate the Manufacture route
+
+The Manufacture route is activated for each product on its own product page. To do so, begin by
+navigating to :menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Products --> Products`. Then, select an existing
+product, or create a new one by clicking :guilabel:`New`.
+
+On the product page, select the :guilabel:`Inventory` tab, then enable the :guilabel:`Manufacture`
+checkbox in the :guilabel:`Routes` section. This tells Odoo the product can be manufactured.
+
+.. image:: configure_manufacturing_product/manufacturing-route.png

+## Lot/serial number tracking
+
+The assignment of lots or serial numbers to newly manufactured products is optional. To optionally
+:doc:`assign lots or serial numbers <../../inventory/product_management/product_tracking>`
+to newly manufactured products, go to the :guilabel:`Traceability` section in the
+:guilabel:`Inventory` tab. In the :guilabel:`Tracking` field, select :guilabel:`By Unique Serial
+Number` or :guilabel:`By Lots`.
+
+Doing so enables the *Lot/Serial Number* field on a manufacturing order, or the *Register
+Production* instruction on a work order card in the *Shop Floor* app.

+
+# Configure a bill of materials (BoM)
+
+Next, a |BOM| must be configured for the product so Odoo knows how it is manufactured. A |BOM| is a
+list of the components and operations required to manufacture a product.
+
+To create a |BOM| for a specific product, navigate to :menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Products -->
+Products`, then select the product. On the product page, click the :guilabel:`Bill of Materials`
+smart button at the top of the page, then select :guilabel:`New` to configure a new |BOM|.
+
+.. image:: configure_manufacturing_product/bom-smart-button.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The Bill of Materials smart button on a product page.
+
+On the |BOM|, the :guilabel:`Product` field auto-populates with the product. In the
+:guilabel:`Quantity` field, specify the number of units that the BoM produces.
+
+Add a component to the |BOM| by selecting the :guilabel:`Components` tab and clicking :guilabel:`Add
+a line`. Select a component from the :guilabel:`Component` drop-down menu, then enter the quantity
+in the :guilabel:`Quantity` field. Continue adding components on new lines until all components have
+been added.
+
+.. image:: configure_manufacturing_product/components-tab.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The Components tab on a bill of materials.
+
+Next, select the :guilabel:`Operations` tab. Click :guilabel:`Add a line` and a :guilabel:`Create
+Operations` pop-up window appears. In the :guilabel:`Operation` field, specify the name of the
+operation being added (e.g. Assemble, Cut, etc.). Select the work center where the operation will be
+carried out from the :guilabel:`Work Center` drop-down menu. Finally, click :guilabel:`Save & Close`
+to finish adding operations, or :guilabel:`Save & New` to add more.
+
+> **important**:
+>    The :guilabel:`Operations` tab only appears if the :guilabel:`Work Orders` setting is enabled. To
+   do so, navigate to :menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Configuration --> Settings`, then enable the

+# Manufacturing order costs
+
+.. |MO| replace:: :abbr:`MO (Manufacturing Order)`
+.. |MOs| replace:: :abbr:`MOs (Manufacturing Orders)`
+.. |POs| replace:: :abbr:`POs (Purchase Orders)`
+.. |BoM| replace:: :abbr:`BoM (Bill of Materials)`
+.. |BoMs| replace:: :abbr:`BoMs (Bills of Materials)`
+
+The ability to accurately calculate the cost of manufacturing a product is critical when determining
+product profitability. Odoo's **Manufacturing** app simplifies this calculation by automatically
+calculating the cost to complete each manufacturing order (MO), as well as the average production
+cost of a product, based on all completed |MOs|.
+
+> **important**:
+>    Odoo's Manufacturing app distinguishes between the *MO cost* and the *real cost* of an |MO|.
+
+   The |MO| cost represents how much it *should* cost to complete an |MO|, based on the
+   configuration of the product's bill of materials (BoM). This takes into account the cost and
+   quantity of components, as well as the cost of completing the necessary operations.
+
+   The real cost represents how much it *actually* costs to complete the |MO|. A few factors can
+   cause the real cost to differ from the |MO| cost. For example, an operation may take longer to
+   complete than estimated, a greater component quantity might be needed than was specified on the
+   |BoM|, or the price of components may change during manufacturing.
+
+# Cost configuration
+
+Odoo computes |MO| costs based on the configuration of the |BoM| used to manufacture a product. This
+calculation includes the cost and quantity of components and operations listed on the |BoM|, in
+addition to the operating costs of the work centers where those operations are carried out, and the
+amount paid to each employee who works on an operation.
+
+## Component cost
+
+Component cost is calculated automatically, based on the average purchase cost of a component across
+all purchase orders (POs). To view a component's cost, navigate to :guilabel:`Inventory app -->
+Products --> Products`, and select a component product. The cost is displayed in the
+:guilabel:`Cost` field of the :guilabel:`General Information` tab, on the component's product form.
+
+It is possible to set the cost of a component manually, by clicking the :guilabel:`Cost` field on
+the component's product form and entering a value. However, any future |POs| for the component
+override a manually entered value, resetting the :guilabel:`Cost` field back to an automatically
+computed value.
+
+.. _manufacturing/mo-costs/work-center-cost:
+
+## Work center cost
+
+To set the operating cost for a specific work center, navigate to :menuselection:`Manufacturing app
+--> Configuration --> Work Centers`, and select a work center.
+
+To set the cost of operating the work center for one hour, enter a value in the :guilabel:`per
+workcenter` field, located beside the :guilabel:`Cost per hour` section on the work center's
+:guilabel:`General Information` tab.
+
+To set the hourly cost of each employee that operates the work center, enter a value in the
+:guilabel:`per employee` field, located beside the :guilabel:`Cost per hour` section on the work
+center's :guilabel:`General Information` tab. For example, if `25.00` is entered in the
+:guilabel:`per employee` field, it costs $25.00 per hour for *each* employee working at the work
+center.
+
+> **important**:
+>    The value entered in the :guilabel:`per employee` field is only used to calculate the |MO| cost,
+   which is the estimated cost of completing the |MO|.
+
+   The actual cost of completing the |MO| is represented by the real cost. Instead of using the
+   value entered in the :guilabel:`per employee` field, the real cost is calculated using the hourly
+   cost specific to each employee.
+
+   For example, if the :guilabel:`per employee` cost of a work center is '$50.00', and an employee
+   with an hourly cost of '$60.00' completes a work order there, the |MO| cost (estimated) is
+   calculated using the $50/hr cost, while the real cost is calculated using the $60/hr cost.
+
+   See the :ref:`employee cost section <manufacturing/mo-costs/employee-cost>` below for information
+   on how to set the cost for specific employees.
+
+.. _manufacturing/mo-costs/employee-cost:
+
+## Employee cost
+
+To set the hourly cost for a specific employee, navigate to the :menuselection:`Employees` app, and
+select an employee. On the employee's form, select the :guilabel:`Settings` tab, and enter the
+employee's rate in the :guilabel:`Hourly Cost` field of the :guilabel:`Application Settings`
+section.
+
+> **important**:
+>    As detailed in the :ref:`work center cost section <manufacturing/mo-costs/work-center-cost>`
+   above, the value entered in the :guilabel:`Hourly Cost` field on the employee's form is used to
+   calculate the real cost of an |MO|. The estimated cost of an |MO|, referred to as the |MO| cost,
+   uses the per employee cost set on each work center's form.
+
+## |BoM| configuration
+
+Configuring a |BoM| so Odoo can accurately calculate the cost of |MOs| that use it requires two
+steps. First, components **must** be added, and the required quantity specified. Second, operations
+**must** be added, along with the work centers where they are carried out.
+
+Begin by navigating to :menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Products --> Bills of Materials`.
+Select a |BoM|, or create a new one by clicking :guilabel:`New`.
+
+In the :guilabel:`Components` tab of the |BoM| form, add each component by clicking :guilabel:`Add a
+line`, selecting the component from the drop-down menu in the :guilabel:`Component` column, and
+entering the quantity in the :guilabel:`Quantity` column.
+
+In the :guilabel:`Operations` tab, add an operation by clicking :guilabel:`Add a line` to open the
+:guilabel:`Create Operations` pop-up window. Enter a title for the operation in the
+:guilabel:`Operation` field.
+
+Select the :guilabel:`Work Center` where the operation is carried out. Then, add a
+:guilabel:`Default Duration`, which is the estimated amount of time the operation takes to complete.
+
+By default, the :guilabel:`Duration Computation` field is set to :guilabel:`Set duration manually`,
+which means that the number entered in :guilabel:`Default Duration` field is always used as the
+expected duration of the operation.
+
+Selecting :guilabel:`Compute based on tracked time` causes Odoo to automatically compute the
+:guilabel:`Default Duration` based on a certain number of work orders, which is set in the
+:guilabel:`Based on` field. Before there are work orders to compute this duration, the value in the
+:guilabel:`Default Duration` field is used instead.
+
+The hourly cost of operating the work center, and the duration of the operation, are used to
+calculate the operation's cost.
+
+Finally, click :guilabel:`Save & Close` to add the operation to the |BoM|, and close the
+:guilabel:`Create Operations` pop-up window. Alternatively, click :guilabel:`Save & New` to add the
+operation to the |BoM|, and open a blank :guilabel:`Create Operations` pop-up window to add another
+operation.
+
+.. seealso::
+   For a full overview of |BoM| configuration, see the documentation on :doc:`bills of materials
+   <bill_configuration>`.
+
+# |MO| overview
+
+Each |MO| has an *overview* page, which lists a variety of information about the |MO|, including
+|MO| cost and real cost. To view the overview for an |MO|, navigate to :menuselection:`Manufacturing
+app --> Operations --> Manufacturing Orders`, and select an |MO|. Then, click the :icon:`fa-bars`
+:guilabel:`Overview` smart button at the top of the |MO|.
+
+Both the |MO| cost and real cost take into account the cost and quantity of components, as well as
+the cost of completing each work order. The overview page lists a row for each of these values, with
+the sum of them listed at the bottom of the :guilabel:`MO Cost` and :guilabel:`Real Cost` columns.
+
+Before work begins on an |MO|, the :guilabel:`MO Cost` and :guilabel:`Real Cost` columns display the
+same costs. This is the *estimated* cost of completing the |MO|.
+
+However, once work commences, the values in the :guilabel:`Real Cost` column may begin to diverge
+from the values in the :guilabel:`MO Cost` column. This happens if a different component quantity is
+used than was listed on the |MO|, the duration of a work order is different than expected, or the
+hourly cost of the employee performing a work order differs from the employee cost set on the work
+center.
+
+Once the |MO| has been completed by clicking :guilabel:`Produce All`, the values in the
+:guilabel:`MO Cost` column update to match those displayed in the :guilabel:`Real Cost` column.
+
+.. image:: mo_costs/overview.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: The MO Overview page.
+
+# Average manufacturing cost
+
+In addition to the cost of each individual |MO| for a product, Odoo also tracks the average cost of
+manufacturing the product, taking into account the cost of every completed |MO|. To view this,
+navigate to :menuselection:`Inventory app --> Products --> Products`, and select a product.
+
+The manufacturing cost of the product is displayed per unit of measure in the :guilabel:`Cost`
+field, located in the :guilabel:`General Information` tab. The value continues to update as the
+costs of additional |MOs| are factored into the average cost.
+
+To the right of the :guilabel:`Cost` field is a :guilabel:`Compute Price from BoM` button, which
+only appears for products with at least one |BoM|. Click this button to reset the cost of the
+product to the expected cost, which only takes into account the components and operations listed on
+the |BoM|.

+
+   Golf product manufacturer *Fairway Fields* produces a variety of golf products, including an
+   indoor *putting green*. They have configured a |BoM| for the putting green, so Odoo automatically
+   calculates the manufacturing cost of each putting green |MO|.
+
+   The |BoM| lists two components:
+
+   - One unit of *green felt*, which costs $20.00.
+   - One unit of a *rubber pad*, which costs $30.00.
+
+   The |BoM| also lists four operations, all of which are carried out at *Assembly Station 1*, which
+   has an hourly operating cost of $30.00. Those operations are as follows:
+
+   - *Cut felt*: default duration of seven minutes, for a total cost of $3.50.
+   - *Cut rubber pad*: default duration of five minutes, for a total cost of $2.50.
+   - *Attach pad to felt*: default duration of 15 minutes, for a total cost of $7.50.
+   - *Cut holes*: default duration of three minutes, for a total cost of $1.50.
+
+   Altogether, the components required to produce one putting green cost $50.00, and the operations
+   required cost $15.00, for a total manufacturing cost of $65.00. This cost is reflected in the
+   :guilabel:`Cost` field on the putting green's product form.
+
+   Fairway Fields confirms an |MO| for one putting green. Before manufacturing starts, the |MO|
+   overview lists a cost of `$65.00` in both the :guilabel:`MO Cost` and :guilabel:`Real Cost`
+   fields.

+
+   Manufacturing begins, and the operations take ten minutes longer than expected, for a total
+   manufacturing time of 40 minutes. This deviation from the |BoM| is reflected on the |MO|
+   overview, which now lists a :guilabel:`Real Cost` of `$70.00`.

+
+   Once manufacturing is finished, and the |MO| is marked as *Done*, the |MO| overview updates
+   again, so the values in the :guilabel:`MO Cost` and :guilabel:`Real Cost` columns match, each
+   displaying a value of `$70.00`.
+
+   On the putting green's product page, the :guilabel:`Cost` field now displays a cost of `$67.50`,
+   the average of the original cost of $65.00 and the real cost of $70.00 from the |MO|.
