Sage 100 Bill of Materials

Different versions of a bill can be maintained simultaneously. This feature is useful if you change the configuration of your product but still need to refer to the old configurations.

Up to nine categories of options can be defined for each bill. Each option category can have an unlimited number of valid choices, with separate cost associated with each one. Maximize your profits using Bill of Materials in conjunction with Sales Order Entry to provide you with a powerful tool to track accurate costs for each option so you can price accordingly.

One bill can contain up to 99 levels. You can obtain a comprehensive overview of the entire bill structure from the Indented Bill of Materials Report.

Components grouped together for manufacturing purposes but never built for stock can be defined as phantom bills. You can print reports with phantom bills, or you can blow through phantom bills by printing only their components.

Sales kits are single-level assemblies not normally stocked together but grouped as a unit when a sale is made. Kit components can be added or deleted during Sales Order Entry. At your preference, component detail can be printed on sales orders and picking sheets.

Built-in yield and scrap accommodation provides accurate forecasting of material requirements, as well as final output. Both yield and scrap calculations can be used within a single bill.

Record manufactured products into inventory while simultaneously relieving component materials. During the entry process, bills are automatically exploded into component detail lines. You can add, delete, or change component items and override standard quantities and warehouse for each component. Miscellaneous charges and comments can also be entered.

Record the disassembly of manufactured products into inventory and return component materials to stock.

Planned changes to the bill structure can be recorded in advance. You can add or delete multiple components from a bill using the engineering change process. You can also specify an effective date when printing reports to include engineering changes up to that date.

Bills can include nonmaterial charges such as labor and overhead costs. Actual units and costs associated with miscellaneous charges can be entered during production entry to reflect actual costs incurred.

The cost of each bill can be calculated based upon the cost of each component and miscellaneous charge, and upon any yield and scrap percentages. The component costs can be calculated using the average, last, or standard cost method.

When integrated with the Work Order module, bill of material components can be automatically merged into a work order. The Work Order module provides a complete work-in-process manufacturing system for companies that require more comprehensive control of their manufacturing process.

The Bill of Materials module provides bill detail that is used by the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module. The MRP module provides information to the purchasing and production departments so that they can maintain sufficient amounts of materials on hand at all times.

Production labels and picking sheets can be customized to print bar codes to speed workflow through your plant. Production bar-code labels can also be printed to ensure goods are accurately tracked from the moment they enter your inventory.
