Bill of Materials software is typically
used by firms which deal with manufacturing. Bill of Materials is a "recipe"
of sorts that details the "ingredients" needed to manufacture a specific
item. If you're producing complex products, you know the frequently changing
information that needs to be managed: specifications, bills of materials
(BOMs), suppliers, materials, costs, documents and more.
Therefore, you should provide a continuous stream of raw materials from your
suppliers to your manufacturing place. So, are you looking for a solution
to help you get your products to market on time, on budget and error-free?
Bill of Materials Software are designed basically for those
manufacturers, who are involved in assembly, light manufacturing and various
other value-add processes. Bill of Materials software allows you to handle
raw materials, which are built for stock, or built to order whether you do
it in house or contract services externally. Bill of Materials software provides
you with unlimited level system, designed to enhance controls over the raw
material requirements and costing of produced items.
Features of a typical Bill of Materials software:
• Quick and easy creation of bills of materials.
• Bill of Materials software
should automatically recognize type number, using all other bills of materials
saved in the database.
• Bill of Materials software
should link product documentation automatically with related items in the
bill of materials.
• Bill of Materials software
offers direct access to documentation and specific product data of the any
items in a bill of materials.
• All data is stored in a database. Client's software communicate with database using Client-Server technology.
• BOM software should allows
you to create practically unlimited number of columns and rows per bill of
materials.
• Attached documents can be imported to other
applications like AutoCad, MS Excel, Word or E-Mail programs.
• Product's information can be copied from any
Product Information Center directly to a bill of materials by drag-and-drop.
• Any existing bills of materials can be copied
from spreadsheet applications (like MS Excel) directly into a bill of materials.
• Bill of Materials software
should exports any data which are required for creation of electronic product
manuals.
• Bill of Materials software should use any
type of product as a component for the further manufacturing.
• The program should allows you to stick notes
and assembly instructions at any point in the BOM
• Bill of Materials software
should allows you to compare two revisions of a BOM on-screen at the same
time.
• Accurate Unit of Measure conversions mean
accurate pricing and assembling.
• BOM Software should allows
you to track everything from drawing and change order numbers, to quality
control and personnel's data.
• You can create lotted or serialized bills and lotted
or serialized components
• You can define sub-bills during the order
process, edit and view them in a multi-level hierarchy.
