Bill of Material - I |
 |
Goals
The data in Bills of Materials (BOM) must be clear and easy
to record. Any changes should be carried out without excessive
costs and be restorable at any time.
Integration into an overall program
The CANIAS ERP Bills of Materials are completely integrated
into the System and support:
- The procurement of materials at the optimum time (Material
Requirement Planning (MRP) module)
- The placing of production orders (Production Planning and
Control (PPC) Module)
- The issue of goods (Inventory Management Module)
Single level Bill of Material
The central concept of the CANIAS ERP Bill of Material Module
is the Single Level Bill of Material. Complex production
structures can be displayed clearly and simply through multiple
shifting of the single level Bill of Material.
The single Level Bill of Material contains both header and
item data. The header data states which material the BOM is
relevant to, its status and the department responsible for
this particular BOM.
The item data describes the components, the amount used and
the utilization of this item in other modules.
Reference Bill of Material
Reference BOMs are single level bills of materials which have
not yet been attached to a material master record. They can
be used as the basis for the creation of a Bill of Material.
Alternative Bill of Material
It is occasionally necessary to define different BOM's for
a material for different business contexts. The Alternative
Bill of Material provides this service.
Multiple Bill of Material
The multiple BOM concept aids the management of a variety
of similar BOMs (variant problem). Common components of similar
BOMs are recorded in a 'Reference BOM-M' while components
specific to individual BOMs are recorded in a separate 'Single
Level BOM-M'. In this way, the BOM of a given material consists
of a combination of data referring to common and individual
components.
The advantage of this function is that changes of (data regarding)
common components need only be carried out in the Reference
BOM-M.
