there are many ways to accomplish this. here is my effort the products first have to be broken down into their parts in ofbiz a production run would be made for the disassembly of each. then a production run to assemble the parts into what the customer wants. you create BOM https://trunkdemo.businessesnetwork.com/manufacturing/control/FindBom you can go one step further and make a configurable product that the customer or customer rep can create. you can then turn this into a quote. when the customer pays for it,then based on the configuration the production run will create this.
