### **🔍 Introduction**

A **Bill of Materials (BOM)** is a structured list of all components, materials, and processes required to manufacture a finished product. In **Logic ERP**, a *Single Product BOM* helps define:

* 📦 Raw materials
* 🛠️ Production processes
* 📊 Cost estimates
* 📐 Consumption ratios

By setting up your BOM accurately, you streamline production, ensure proper planning, and control costs.

***

### **🧱 Step 1: Define BOM Raw Material Types**

Start by defining the **types of raw materials** you'll use. This helps organize materials and enables precise cost calculation.

#### ✅ What to Do:

1. Go to the **Raw Material Type Definition** screen.
2. Enter each material type name. Examples include:
   * 🧵 *Fabric*
   * 🎀 *Trims*
   * 📦 *Packaging*
   * 🧪 *Chemicals*
3. Click **Save** to confirm.

> 💡 **Tip:** Well-defined material types make it easier to filter, analyze, and plan during procurement and costing.

***

### **🛠️ Step 2: Create the BOM**

Now, define the actual **BOM for a specific product**, including all required raw materials, processes, and their usage per SKU.

#### ✅ What to Do:

1. Open the **Bill of Materials** screen.
2. Select:
   * 👕 **Style** (e.g., T-Shirt 001)
   * 🎨 **Shade** (e.g., Navy Blue)
3. Add each **production process** (e.g., Cutting ✂️, Stitching 🧵, Finishing ✅).
4. For every process, input:
   * 🧾 **Raw Materials** used
   * 📐 **Consumption ratio** per SKU
   * 📏 **Unit of measure** (e.g., meters, pieces)
5. Repeat for each process.

> 🧠 **Example:** For *Cutting* – 1.2 meters of cotton fabric per T-shirt.

***

### **💰 Step 3: Add Tentative Cost Estimates (Optional)**

Add **estimated raw material costs** to forecast production expenses and compare them with actuals later.

#### ✅ What to Do:

1. For each material, enter the **Estimated Cost** per unit.
2. Choose the **Consumption Type**:
   * 🔹 *Single Quantity* – per unit of finished product
   * 🔸 *Batch Quantity* – total consumption for a production batch

> 📊 **Logic ERP will auto-calculate** raw material consumption per unit when generating RM requirements for production order.

***

### **🎯 Key Benefits**

Using a detailed BOM offers numerous advantages:

* ✅ **Accurate Planning:** Know exactly what you need before production.
* 🛒 **Efficient Purchasing:** Buy the right materials, at the right time, in the right quantity.
* 💸 **Cost Control:** Forecast and monitor projected vs. actual production costs.
* 📦 **Inventory Accuracy:** Prevent shortages or overstocking.
* 📍 **SKU-Specific Flexibility:** Set unique material usage for each product variant.

***

### **✅ Conclusion**

By following this guide, you can:

* Build detailed and reliable BOMs 🧾
* Improve production efficiency ⚙️
* Gain visibility into cost structures 💵
* Enable smarter procurement and planning strategies 📈
