Flattened BOM Viewer for InvenTree

Flat BOM Generator for InvenTree

This generates a temporary complete component list from a complex/deep BOMs for looking at purchasing/inventory shortfalls.

We have been looking for a way to get a better sense of all the parts in our multi-level BOMs. I had been running BOM exports through some scripts to generate purchase lists but thought it would be nice to have this info inside Inventree so other users could access the data easily.

This is a plugin that flattens multi-level BOMs into a single purchasing view. If you work with assemblies that have many nested levels or use cut-to-length parts (wire, tubing, bar stock), this might be useful.

What it does:

• Recursively traverses BOM hierarchy and extracts only the leaf parts you actually need to order
• Automatically aggregates quantities when the same part appears in multiple subassemblies
• Handles cut-to-length materials with per-cut breakdowns
• Provides stock availability and shortfall calculations with toggles for allocated stock and incoming orders
• Warns about potential BOM issues (inactive parts, unit mismatches, empty assemblies)
• Allows CSV export of final list that includes cutlists

Use case: Instead of manually clicking through 5+ BOM levels to figure out what to order, generate a flat list in one click. Useful for production planning when you need to know total quantities across complex assemblies.
