# Bill Of Materials

### **Module Guide: Bill of Materials (BOM)**

#### **Module Location**

#### PPIC > Bill of Materials

#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Bill of Materials** module is the master data hub for creating and managing Bills of Materials (BOMs). A BOM is the standard "recipe" or formula that details all components, raw materials, and packaging materials, along with their quantities, needed to produce one unit of a finished good.

### **1. Main View (BOM List)**

#### The main page of this module displays a list of all Bills of Materials (BOMs) that have been defined in the system.

#### **View Explanation**

- #### **View**: This page is a list of all product recipes. You can see the **BOM Code** and the **Finished Good** name that results from that recipe.
- #### **Action Buttons**:
    
    
    - #### **\[New\]**: The primary button to create a new Bill of Materials (BOM).

### **2. Steps to Create a New BOM**

#### **Step 1: Create a New BOM**

#### From the Main View, click the **\[New\]** button to open the BOM creation form.

#### **Step 2: Define the Production Result (Output)**

#### On the form that appears, in the **Output Material** section, click the "Add/Remove" icon and select one **Finished Good**. This is the final product that will be produced by this recipe.

#### **Step 3: Detail the Required Materials (Input)**

#### In the **Input Material** section, click the "Add/Remove" icon and select all the **RAW MATERIALS** or other components needed. For each input material, define the standard quantity required to produce one unit of the finished good.

#### **Step 4: Save the BOM**

#### After all output and input materials are filled in correctly, click the **\[Save\]** button to save the new recipe or BOM.

#### **Workflow & Integrated Business Process**

- #### **Planning Basis**: The BOM you create here is the fundamental data that will be used by the **MRP (Material Requirements Planning)** system to calculate the total raw material requirements.
- #### **Production Basis**: This BOM will also be the reference when creating a **Production Order** to ensure the requested and used materials are in accordance with the standard.

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### The **accuracy of the BOM data** (especially the input material quantity) is crucial. An error here will cause errors in purchase planning, cost calculation, and stock control.
- #### This is a vital master data module for the **PPIC, R&D, and Production** teams.
