Suggestions on a better way to structure our manufacturing welcome; but...

We have an inventory location on our production floor that hold physical "kits" for our various products. E.g. each "kit" contains a "small" amounts of screws/washers/standoffs needed to build that product. And then when we're building the product we take the kit to any manufacturing workbench.

We also hold bulk inventory in our inventory room, and we replenish the kits as needed.

I'd like to set up rules such that (for example a screw)

We receive bulk screws (thousands) into our inventory room.
We transfer small amounts (hundreds) into the product floor kits (of which there are multiple places that could hold the same screw, but right now only one kit per product.)
When we manufacture a product, we would pull from the product specific kit

The first one is easy to configure in the restocking rules. The second one we can do by hand for now.

It's the third one that has me scratching my head. Can we configure Odoo to pull from specific locations from a product manufacturing order automatically? (e.g. if we're building a Gizmo that it pulls a screw from "WH/Production/Gizmo Kit"; and if we're building a Gadget, that it would pull the same screw from "WH/Production/Gadget Kit".)

A suggestion could be to have 2step manufacturing, that would mean that components are picked from pre-production location followed by main stock location.

Product specific KIT location can be child location of Pre-production location.

The assumption is that the KIT is also a component on the BoM

However this would require enabling multi-location and validation of pickings.

FWIW -- we're currently using the "Nearest Location" pull policy in the warehouse and then I have a "!Production Kits" location that will be pulled from first. But that just tells me we have material on the floor. There may also be some other repercussions from having this policy at the top level location that I haven't yet discovered.

To manage this, I think 'Gizmo Kit' and 'Gadget Kit' must be two different products. The you will see anyway how many kit you have of each type. You can also dedicate the locations for each of them. If the kits are all the same products, you will not be able to control what qty you have of the different kit types, nor the picking from specific locations.
