Bill of Materials (BOM)

Go to: Manufacturing → BOM Detail

A BOM defines the raw materials, sub-assemblies, operations, and quantities required to manufacture a finished product.

Example BOM


Finished Product: Business Laptop (LAPTOP-001)
├── Motherboard (MB-001)              x1
│   ├── CPU (CPU-001)                 x1
│   ├── RAM Module 16GB (RAM-001)     x2
│   └── SSD 512GB (SSD-001)           x1
├── Display 15.6" (DSP-001)           x1
├── Battery Pack (BAT-001)            x1
├── Chassis (CHS-001)                 x1
├── Keyboard (KBD-001)               x1
└── Power Adapter (PWR-001)           x1

Creating a BOM

Navigate to Manufacturing → BOM Detail and click New.

Field	Description
Item	The finished good to be produced
Quantity	Quantity produced by this BOM (usually 1)
Is Active	Whether this BOM is the current/default BOM
Is Default	Mark as the default BOM for this item

Add Materials

In the Materials table, add each raw material or sub-assembly:

Field	Description
Item	Raw material or sub-assembly
Quantity	Quantity required per BOM unit
UOM	Unit of measure
Warehouse	Source warehouse for this material

Add Operations

In the Operations table, add each manufacturing operation:

Field	Description
Operation	The manufacturing operation (e.g., Assembly)
Workstation	The workstation where this operation is performed
Time (min)	Standard time to complete the operation

Workstations

Go to: Manufacturing → Workstation

Workstations represent machines or work areas on the production floor.

Field	Description
Workstation Name	Name (e.g., Assembly Line A, CNC Machine)
Workstation Type	Category of workstation
Production Capacity	Hours available per day
Holiday List	Non-working days for this workstation

Operations & Routing

Operations — Define individual manufacturing steps (e.g., Cutting, Welding, Assembly).
Routing — A sequence of operations that can be reused across multiple BOMs.
