Single Product BOM

YouTube: Single product BOM

๐Ÿ” 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:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Raw materials

  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Production processes

  • ๐Ÿ“Š Cost estimates

  • ๐Ÿ“ Consumption ratios

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


๐Ÿงฑ 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.

โœ… What to Do:

  1. Go to the Raw Material Type Definition screen.

  2. Enter each material type name. Examples include:

    • ๐Ÿงต Fabric

    • ๐ŸŽ€ Trims

    • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Packaging

    • ๐Ÿงช Chemicals

  3. Click Save to confirm.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Well-defined material types make it easier to filter, analyze, and plan during procurement and costing.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ 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.

โœ… What to Do:

  1. Open the Bill of Materials screen.

  2. Select:

    • ๐Ÿ‘• Style (e.g., T-Shirt 001)

    • ๐ŸŽจ Shade (e.g., Navy Blue)

  3. Add each production process (e.g., Cutting โœ‚๏ธ, Stitching ๐Ÿงต, Finishing โœ…).

  4. For every process, input:

    • ๐Ÿงพ Raw Materials used

    • ๐Ÿ“ Consumption ratio per SKU

    • ๐Ÿ“ Unit of measure (e.g., meters, pieces)

  5. Repeat for each process.

๐Ÿง  Example: For Cutting โ€“ 1.2 meters of cotton fabric per T-shirt.


๐Ÿ’ฐ Step 3: Add Tentative Cost Estimates (Optional)

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

โœ… What to Do:

  1. For each material, enter the Estimated Cost per unit.

  2. Choose the Consumption Type:

    • ๐Ÿ”น Single Quantity โ€“ per unit of finished product

    • ๐Ÿ”ธ Batch Quantity โ€“ total consumption for a production batch

๐Ÿ“Š Logic ERP will auto-calculate raw material consumption per unit when generating RM requirements for production order.


๐ŸŽฏ Key Benefits

Using a detailed BOM offers numerous advantages:

  • โœ… Accurate Planning: Know exactly what you need before production.

  • ๐Ÿ›’ Efficient Purchasing: Buy the right materials, at the right time, in the right quantity.

  • ๐Ÿ’ธ Cost Control: Forecast and monitor projected vs. actual production costs.

  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Inventory Accuracy: Prevent shortages or overstocking.

  • ๐Ÿ“ SKU-Specific Flexibility: Set unique material usage for each product variant.


โœ… Conclusion

By following this guide, you can:

  • Build detailed and reliable BOMs ๐Ÿงพ

  • Improve production efficiency โš™๏ธ

  • Gain visibility into cost structures ๐Ÿ’ต

  • Enable smarter procurement and planning strategies ๐Ÿ“ˆ
