Bill of Materials

Objective - To define the relationship between a manufactured item and its component materials as well as the sequence of operations required to produce the item, facilitating an accurate expected cost against which to track actual production costs.

• The Value of SYSPRO Bill of Materials
  • Maintain up to 15 levels
  • Detailed screen query showing costing information and operational Gantt Charts
  • Multi-level trial kitting identifies material shortages
  • Standard and “What-if” costing queries and analysis with comparison to current costs
  • Supports planning bills, phantom parts and sub-contract operations
  • Optional components supported for sales of kits
  • Track component level of affectivity dates
  • Define scrap factors for more accurate planning
  • Drag-and-drop facility in BOM maintenance
  • Multiple tree-view structures.
• Matching SYSPRO to Your Business
  • Multiple recovery rates are available per cost center, work center and employee
  • Define different units of measure (hours, minutes, seconds) for tracking time and capacity
  • Define component requirements up to 6 decimal places
  • Extensive user-defined notes
  • Multimedia ability to link pictures and videos to BOM
  • Supports multiple alternate routes
  • Validates structures and operations and provides notification of potential problems
