Bill of Materials (BoM) Types
Starting off with Bill of Materials (BoM), we first want to break them down into 4 different types:
Sales
- Parent Item is Sales Item (Not Inventory)
- Sales Docs show Parent Item and Sub-Items
- Sub-Items: CAN update QTY, CANNOT substitute Sub-Items
EX: PC Set (Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard)
Template
- Flexible
- Can be used in Purchase and Sales Documents
- Items can be replaced, updated, or removed freely
EX: Build-A-Bear
Assembly
- Represents a set of Individual Items with a specific price
- Similar to Sales BoM
- Final Product managed as Sales Item
- Sales Docs show Parent Item only
EX: Promo Package
Production
- Required for Production and MRP
- Lists Parent Item (Finished Product) and Component Items (Raw Materials)
- Raw Materials are consumed, and finished product is added to Inventory
EX: Dog Toy
BoM Components
Now that you know what Types of BoMs there are, let’s look at what components make up a BoM:
- Arrows
- Text
- Items
- Resources
- Routing
- Subassemblies
- Manage Routes
- Issue Components to Production when they are needed
- Waiting Days
- Warehouses
- Pricelists
Creating a Production Order
Moving on to the Production Orders, we first look at how to create one. With SAP Business One, there are 3 ways you can create a Production Order:
- Manual
- Procurement Wizard
- MRP
Production Process
Now, you can’t talk about creating a Production Order without also touching on the Production Process!
For this step, we feel it’s better to show and not tell:
