Advanced Bill of Materials
A Bill of Materials (BOM) lists the quantities of raw materials, assemblies, sub-components, and parts you need to manufacture a product. A BOM can be used to communicate between manufacturing partners, multiple facilities within the organization, or with a single manufacturing plant.
After your administrator enables the Advanced Bill of Materials feature, the Advanced BOM record replaces the Assembly/Bill of Materials record. When you use Advanced BOM, any existing BOM is automatically converted to a read-only legacy BOM record.
Advanced BOM enables you to do the following:
-
Copy existing BOMs and create new BOMs
-
Use a single BOM across multiple assemblies
For example, multiple bicycle frame sizes could all use the same wheel assembly BOM.
-
Assign multiple BOMs to a single assembly
-
Apply unique BOMs to various stages of the product lifecycle
For example, an engineering BOM, a production BOM, and a subcontracting BOM.
-
Copy existing Manufacturing Routings and create new routings
-
Designate a default BOM for an assembly, or select an assembly default BOM for a location
For example, a bicycle assembly produced in Canada uses BOM CA. When the company starts producing the same bicycle in the U.S., the system uses BOM U.S.
-
Define yield at the component level on the BOM revision record
Component yield enables you to account for material component loss during ordering and planning.
-
Create multiple revisions of a BOM with different effective start and end dates
