Hi Hans,

this is correct; when you manually create a production run, only the 
first level in BOM is considered.
Then, if you run MRP, the requirements for production runs (for the 
subcomponents etc) will be generated. Please note that the MRP will 
create requirements only if a ProductFacility record is present for a 
given product (you can edit it in the "facility" tab of the 
catalog->product's pages). If you accept the requirements, the 
production runs will be created.

To make the system work as you want (i.e. create all the production runs 
needed to create a finished product in one step) you have to:

1) create a sales order for the finished product
2) create a sales shipment and add the order item to it as a shipment 
plan item
3) once the shipment plan status is put to "scheduled" the shipment plan 
will be available under the "shipment plan" menu in the manufacturing 
component
4) from there you can print a report to analyze the stock levels of the 
raw materials needed to manufacture the product and then you can create 
all the production run in one step.
5) if you go to the order view page you'll see that a production run is 
linked to the order item related to the finished product you need to 
manufacture
6) in the top of the production run pages you'll see that the production 
run is linked to other production runs (the '*' symbol means that the 
production run needs to be completed before the actual production run).

Regards,

Jacopo
