Bill of Material

Bill of Material, available in BusinessVision Standard and SQL Editions, is designed for easy creation and maintenance of lists of components required to assemble or manufacture finished goods or sub-assemblies. Using the Bill of material module, you can “trial build” (check) to see if enough materials are available to build the desired quantity of finished goods or kits. The Bill of Material module will provide critical information with respect to shortages, outages, costs and order of assembly information. All information is displayed on-line.
