# Use Cases / Context

In industries like textile and apparel it’s common to have finished products with many variants for color and size, as well as several semi-finished products for various stages of manufacturing - often subcontracted.

This module leaves to the user only the following manual steps:

- creation of finished product
- creation of BoM for first semi-finished product

automating the steps in the middle.

# Configuration

To allow a user to use features of this module, enable technical access right “Create finished product structure”.

# Usage

In a product template > inventory tab, enable field “Finished product” (note: it can only be enabled for products with variants).

From product template form, use server action “Create finished product structure”: a wizard is displayed with the following fields:

- Stage name: this field is used to provide a name to the semi-finished product; the name will be set as product template name - stage name eg: “Customizable desk (CONFIG) - Wood polishing”

- Template product: he semi-finished product will be created as a copy of the product template set in this field, with all the related settings (eg: routes, supplierinfo, product type…).

  Note: only product templates without attributes and values can be set in this field.

- Attribute(s): this field is used to set which attributes and values to copy from finished product to semi-finished product of this stage.

  Note: each semi-finished product cannot have more attributes than the semi-finished product in previous stage.

- BoM type: the type of Bom to manufacture the previous product in the semi-finished product chain. If Bom Type = Subcontracting, it’s possible to set subcontractors.

  Note: in first stage, set type of BoM to manufacture finished product; in second stage, set type of BoM to manufacture first stage semi-finished product, and so on.

On creation, a BOM for finished product will be created, with:

- BoM type (and subcontractors) from first line of wizard
- semi-finished product from first line of wizard as “Component (product template)” in BoM lines
- attribute match on semi-finished product attributes.

If a second line was present in wizard, the same will happen for semi-finished product from first line, and so on.
