02 - Creating a BOM

To start production, you first need to define a BOM for the product.

Step 1: Create a New BOM

• Navigate to the Bill of Materials tab and click New.

• Select the Finished Product you want to manufacture.

Step 2: Add BOM lines (Materials)

• Navigate to the BOM lines and click New.
  
  

• Add raw materials and their required quantities.
  

Step 3: Costing

• The system automatically calculates BOM cost based on raw material and operation costs.

• Review the calculated cost and compare with selling price.

• Save the BOM.

Step 4: Versioning

• If product design changes, create a new BOM version instead of editing the original.

Reports & Tracking

• BOM Register – lists all BOMs created for products.

• BOM Cost Report – compares standard vs actual costs.

Best Practices

• Always create a separate BOM for each product variant.

• Use versioning for revisions to maintain history.

• Validate material availability before finalizing.

You can also perform the following actions on existing BOM:

Edit BOM
Go to BOM, select a BOM, click Edit, update the details, then click Save.

Clone BOM
Select a BOM, click Clone, make changes, then click Save.

Delete BOM
Select a BOM, click Delete Selected or open a BOM and click Delete.

Next Step
After creating a BOM, you can generate a Work Order to begin manufacturing.
