[Bug 702288] Re: Cost price calculation limited to 2 levels in product bom

 

#21
"In standard price, companies fix a price for each products, usually once a year and the price usually do not change during this period" - I think Fabien is right!

We start mixing up two different requirements. First is to ensure the
(legal) stock amount based on what you decide through 'Costing Method'
in product. I agree with Fabien: as far as you decide to calculate your
stock amount your standard price won't change during the fiscal year -
therefor a price modification in BoM level 7 should not change the
standard price in level 1 (finished good)....

But obviously all "colleagues" are missing a funcionality - and use the
cost price calculation through BoM instead (therefor this bug is
generally understandable): how the cost price for a finished product
will be calculated when I replace a component somewhere in a multi-level
BoM?

In every manufacturing componay there lots of crtiteria you need to
consider while calculating a sales price, one of theese is the material
- by choosing between different suppliers or raw materials this is quite
often the only way to calculate a price which enables you to "get the
business"...

I think an approach could be the following idea: add a new field
'manufacturing_costs' in product.product - real time calculated through
ALL level BoMs....

Title:
  Cost price calculation limited to 2 levels in product bom

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A concrete example better than a long and difficult explanation :-)

  We have the following product A composed of the product B and product B is composed from product C. So the below BOM:
  A
  -----B
  -----------C

  If the price of B is modified, then the price of A can be also modified.
  But if i modify the price of C, only B is modified and not A.

  This is a very important blocking issue, since in most of the real prod environment, we've of course more than 2 level of boms (in some customer installation, up to 100 levels !).
  So any modification at the bottom should have a consequence on all the bom structure until the top, else OpenERP cannot be used for production.
