Bill of Materials
Breakdown products into component parts, visualize and track the creation process, and ensure the right parts are available and ordered in the right quantities. Create complex bills of materials with multiple levels of components, quickly analyze and modify product and component structure.
Easily track and manage raw materials, subassemblies and finished goods with an intuitive user interface. Get a better insight into complex production processes. Track production progress and efficiently manage multi-level bill of materials. Break down complex items into sub-assemblies, components and finished goods and access inventory levels in real-time. Ensure all components are available and up-to-date, and make sure your production process remains efficient and effective.
Manage their inventory costs more efficiently by knowing exactly what components are needed for each product, and how many of each. Eliminate need to overstock components, reducing costs and wasted materials.

What information is included in a bill of materials?
A bill of materials includes the names and descriptions of the parts and components, their quantities, the part numbers, unit of measure, and the supplier information. It also includes any sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, and the finished product.
How is a bill of materials used?
A bill of materials is used to keep track of the parts and components used in a production process. It is also used to determine the cost of the finished product and to determine the availability of the necessary supplies when needed.
What are the benefits of using a bill of materials?
The benefits of using a bill of materials include improved accuracy and efficiency in the production process, improved cost control, and improved inventory management. It also helps to ensure that the necessary supplies are available when needed.
How often should a bill of materials be updated?
A bill of materials should be updated regularly to ensure accuracy and to account for any changes in the production process. It should also be updated when new parts or components are added or when changes are made to the existing parts or components.
What are the components of a bill of materials?
The components of a bill of materials include the names and descriptions of the parts and components, their quantities, the part numbers, unit of measure, and the supplier information. It also includes any sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, and the finished product.
How is a bill of materials created?
A bill of materials is created by entering the necessary information into an Enterprise Inventory Management system. This includes the names and descriptions of the parts and components, their quantities, the part numbers, unit of measure, and the supplier information.
What is the purpose of a bill of materials?
The purpose of a bill of materials is to keep track of the parts and components used in a production process and to ensure that the necessary supplies are available when needed. It is also used to determine the cost of the finished product.
What are the advantages of using a bill of materials?
