Write BOM Operations

This page is a Work in Progress and not completed yet, please check back again soon

Summary of article's major steps

• Add an export rule to format the object and make it ready for the Odoo BOM object

• Mark the property Mapping as Manufacturing Step

• Each object in the list is sent to Odoo

BOM operations are individual operations that are performed on the item. This page follows on the progress from the previous topic Read BOM Operations

The best way to manage operations is to be consistent in your naming convention for your operations.

In other words, if you are going to assemble something, always give it the exact same name (e.g. Assembly or Assemble).

To write these operations to the Odoo BOM, we map to the Odoo property

mrp.bom.operation_id

The first step is to edit the Property Mapping created in the previous article.

Property Mapping Setting	Old value	New value
Is Manufacturing Step	false	true
Update Odoo On Submit?	false	true

When writing a value to Odoo, you have to provide the full spec of the object in the form.

"value":  
{ 
  "sequence": 30,
  "name": "Punch",
  "workcenter_id": 3,
  "time_mode": "manual",
  "time_mode_batch": 10,
  "time_cycle_manual": 60
}

After adding the new Property Mapping, add an export rule in addition to the import rule from the previous topic Read BOM Operations

Setting	Value
Type	export
Name	Text Manipulation
Process for {Primary}	false
Process for Odoo	true
JavaScript expression	return s .map( (workCenterId) => JSON.parse(pm.objectListItems).find((item) => item.workCenterId === workCenterId)?.value || null ) .filter((n) => n != null);

What this rule does

We specified a list of standard items in the Property Mapping settings.

This list is the list that we want to pick from, so that we can add this to the BOM operations
