Bill of Materials
A bill of materials lists the components and quantities expected to make a product. It may also need versions, units, substitutions and expected yield.
A worked example
A practical example to make the concept clear.
| Step | Illustrative record and result |
|---|---|
| Starting record | Approved BoM TABLE-V1 makes 1 table from 1 top and 4 legs. |
| Change or calculation | For 3 tables, expected consumption is 3 tops and 12 legs. |
| Meaning and exception | If 13 legs are actually consumed, record the extra leg and its reason. Keep the approved version attached to the production order. |
Why it matters
Check whether the bill matches a real product, then compare expected and actual consumption in a production order. Plan a bill of materials, create a manufacturing order and record finished stock with Datrylo Manufacturing.
