In our previous MRP system, we had a flag that could be set on a BoM to specify that only 1 of an item should be included for an entire manufacturing order. For example, you only need one assembly instruction manual to go along with a kit of parts to make a hundred finished items. I don't see any way to do this in OpenERP, so the system is trying to consume 100 manuals for a manufacturing order for 100 items. The manuals should actually be non-inventoried stock, and not reflected in the QoH counts. How can I set up something like this behavior?

Can you include the assembly instruction manual at a higher level in the BOM structure? For example:
Change BOM from this:
- Parent Assembly A
- Widget 1: qty=1
- assembly instruction manual: qty=1
To this:
- Parent Assembly B
- assembly instruction manual: qty=1
- Parent Assembly A
- Widget 1: qty=100
Then, rather than making an order for 100 of Parent Assembly A, you would create an order for 1 of Parent Assembly B.
Depending on the different quantities you would want to produce, you may need to have several different parent assemblies. For example, this:
- Parent Assembly C
- assembly instruction manual: qty=1
- Parent Assembly D
- Widget 1: qty=200
Or, this:
- Parent Assembly E
- assembly instruction manual: qty=1
- Parent Assembly F
- Widget 1: qty=50
