Thanks again Pierre,
Once I created separate routings to which the sub-parts were linked, the
separate routings were included as dependent production runs with their
own set of sub-part materials.
Does anyone know if there exists any documentation out there on using
the Manufacturing application like this? I found some documentation on
Opentaps wiki but it doesn't really describe the steps that need to be
performed. I also looked at "Getting Started with Apache OFBiz
Manufacturing & MRP in 5 easy steps" but it only covered single-level
BOMs (maybe the full book covers multi-level BOMs?).
The best thing I found was this thread from 2007:
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Question-on-Rouning-tasks-td143884.html.
The thread explains using Routing Task "Deliverable Products" only for
non-standard results because its a manual process, otherwise the
"cascading structure/network of production runs (routings)" should be
used. The thread also mentions creating a wiki page for the subject. I
guess this still needs to be done?

Christian,
To be correct: you don't need to do the 'dependent' production runs. That
is a choice.
But yes, if you have specific tasks for the production of your sub-products
you would be better of with specific production schemas. Otherwise, the
'default' schema will be used.

Thanks Pierre,
To clarify, you're saying that the sub-products need their own separate
routing as well and using "dependent production run" will include those
sub-product routings?

Hi Christian,
That is correct. If the end product consist of parts (sub products) that
you produce also, you also need to have a bom and a production schema
(with
tasks and product association) for sub products.
When creating a production run for the end product, you can automatically
create the production runs for the sub products by setting the 'dependent
production run' flag in the production run for the end product.

When I run a production run routing for a product with BOM levels greater
than 1, the lower level materials are not listed in the Materials List
screenlet. Are separate routing required for each BOM level?
For example, with BOM
part_1
part_1_1
rawpart_1_1
part_1_2
rawpart_1_2
I created a Routing called part_1 to which part_1 is linked as the
product. When I create a production run, only part_1_1 and part_1_2 are
listed as materials. Shouldn't rawpart_1_1 and rawpart_1_2 be listed in
the materials list also? I even linked routing tasks to the BOMs but it
didn't pull in the additional materials.
