Bill of Materials Software for Manufacturing

Bill of materials software helps manufacturers define and manage the materials, components, and subassemblies required to build a product. In Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, BOMs work with routings to define production operations and support inventory, production, and costing. With MRP, that information can also support material planning and purchasing requirements.

Useful BOM capabilities include multi-level product structures, revision history, cost rollups, and connections to routings and production. Depending on your requirements, related applications may also support material planning and formal engineering-change approvals. In Acumatica, Engineering Change Control is an optional application for managing changes to BOMs and routings.

BOM functionality within a manufacturing ERP can reduce reliance on spreadsheets by maintaining product structures and revision history in a shared system. In Acumatica, BOM and routing information also supports production planning and costing, reducing the need to maintain those details separately.

Yes. Acumatica supports multi-level bills of materials for finished goods, subassemblies, and their components. It provides engineering and costed views of the product structure, along with associated routings and production operations.

BOMs identify the materials required to build an item, while routings define the production operations. In Acumatica, this information supports production orders and manufacturing planning. With MRP, demand, inventory, and supply information help determine purchasing and production requirements.

In Acumatica, cost rollups calculate product costs using materials and production cost elements such as labor and overhead. Multi-level rollups can incorporate lower-level subassembly costs into the finished product. Production-order reporting then helps compare planned or standard costs with actual recorded costs.
