Manufacturing Cost Projection
Change a component and see the cost before touching the real BOM
It explodes your bills of materials four levels deep to cost every component. It works as a testing ground: you simulate changes in proportions or ingredients without altering the original BOM, and see the projected total cost as you go.
How you get it
Every development works in all three Odoo environments. The only thing that changes is how we deliver it.
Odoo Online (SaaS)
You do not need the ability to install modules. A Millora consultant comes in with temporary access that you authorize and implements it with Odoo Studio. When they are done, you revoke the access.
Odoo.sh or your own server
You receive the module and the installation guide by email as soon as payment clears. Install it yourself, or we install it with you.

# busca "Manufacturing Cost Projection"What it solves
The problem
Working out the cost variation of a complex bill of materials means navigating product by product, adding up values. And if production wants to know what changing an ingredient, substituting a material or adjusting a proportion would cost, they have to modify the original bill or create alternative versions. That clutters the database, confuses operators and slows down a decision that should take minutes.
How it works
It takes a bill of materials and explodes it up to four levels of nesting. It reads product tags to separate raw materials from work in progress and sub-assemblies, and lays them out in separate tables.
From that it calculates the proportional cost of manufacturing one unit. What sets it apart is that the same screen is a simulation environment: you add, remove or change component quantities and the total cost recalculates as you go, like a manufacturing quoting tool.
What it does not do
It is an analysis environment, not an operational one:
- It does not modify the original bill of materials. Your real recipes stay untouched.
- It does not generate manufacturing orders from the simulation.
- It does not update the product's standard cost on its record.
What changes
You can project without fear of breaking something. Engineering or production try scenarios — what if I change supplier, adjust a material's quality, move a proportion — and decide with the figure in front of them, before authorising a change of formulation.
What's included
- Explodes the bill of materials up to four sub-levels
- Separates raw materials from sub-assemblies by reading product tags
- Calculates the proportional cost of every component in the list
- Lets you add, remove or modify components without touching the master bill
- Recalculates the projected total cost with every change in the simulation
Requirements
- The Manufacturing module active
- A product tag that identifies raw materials
- Component costs kept up to date on their records: that is what the calculation reads
