Bill of Materials¶
Navigation: Master Data → Bill of Materials
The Bill of Materials (BOM) defines what components and raw materials are required to produce each finished product, and in what quantities. BOMs are directly linked to manufacturing orders - when a finished good is produced, the system uses the BOM to consume the corresponding raw material quantities.
Managing BOMs¶
Via Excel upload
Download the template from the toolbar, populate BOM data, and upload.
Via UI
Click New to add a BOM record via the create modal.
Via integration
BOMs can be imported or synced automatically from an ERP.
Columns¶
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Item Number | The finished product being produced |
| Item Description | Finished product name |
| Item Type | Type of the finished product |
| Item Status | Active or Inactive |
| Unit of Measure | Unit used for quantities |
| Base Qty | The quantity of finished product produced in one production run |
| Component Item Number | The raw material or component consumed |
| Component Item Description | Component name |
| Component Qty | Quantity of the component consumed per Base Qty of finished product |
| Number of Components | Total number of distinct components in this BOM |
Additional columns can be added using the Custom Columns feature.
How BOMs Are Used¶
When a manufacturing order is created or completed:
- The system looks up the BOM for the finished product
- It calculates the required component quantities:
Component Qty × (Production Quantity / Base Qty) - These quantities are reflected in the Manufacturing column in the Planning screen

- Item Master - finished products and components must exist in the item master
- Manufacturing Orders - production orders that consume BOM components
- Inventory Planning - BOM consumption affects component inventory projections
