Creating, Editing & Printing Bill of Material (BoM) in Ginesys Web

Apr 19, 2023

A Bill of Materials (BoM) is a complete list of the raw materials, assemblies, sub-assemblies, parts and components, as well as the quantities of each, needed to manufacture a product. In a nutshell, it is the comprehensive inventory of every item that is required to build a product. At its most complex, a BoM is a multi-level document that provides data required for creating multiple sub-assemblies (products within products) and includes for each item: barcode, assembly item and route id and a whole range of component descriptors. It may also include attached reference items, such as part retail manufacturing items.

For example, if a bicycle manufacturer wants to make 1,000 bicycles. A bill of materials for a bicycle will include all the parts that make up the bicycle such as seats, frames, brakes, handlebars, wheels, tires, chains, pedals and crank-sets, including the quantities required of each component.

Need of BoM

The BoM is a ready reference for the required materials and their relative quantities needed for the production of one unit an item - a list of raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components and components.

A well-defined BoM helps:

  1. Plan purchases of raw materials

  2. Estimate material costs

  3. Gain inventory control

  4. Track and plan material requirements

  5. Maintain accurate records

  6. Ensure supply robustness and reduce waste

Ginesys has a multilevel BoM, which offers greater details and specificity on the parent and child parts in the product. In a multilevel BoM, the total material required is shown. Additionally, the product structure is indented to show the relationship between the parent and child product, as well as assemblies and sub-assemblies.

Sometimes the user in a hurry to create multiple BoMs often misses out on approval of a few. So he will be reminded through a message asking to approve the BoMs right at the time of saving the BoMs and can go in for a single shot creation and approval process.

 

Duplicate BoMs can now be created to save time and effort of our users. Creation and approval of BoMs separately take a lot of time and effort. Just search and select the appropriate BoM and click on the Duplicate button. New version of the BoM will be created for both approved and unapproved BoMs.
