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:
Go to the Raw Material Type Definition screen.
Enter each material type name. Examples include:
🧵 Fabric
🎀 Trims
📦 Packaging
🧪 Chemicals
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:
Open the Bill of Materials screen.
Select:
👕 Style (e.g., T-Shirt 001)
🎨 Shade (e.g., Navy Blue)
Add each production process (e.g., Cutting ✂️, Stitching 🧵, Finishing ✅).
For every process, input:
🧾 Raw Materials used
📐 Consumption ratio per SKU
📏 Unit of measure (e.g., meters, pieces)
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:
For each material, enter the Estimated Cost per unit.
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 📈
