How to create a Bill of Materials (BoM) in the Manufacturing Application?

To create a Bill of Material (BOM) from the Metro ERP's Manufacturing App, follow these steps:

1) Go to the "Manufacturing" module by clicking on its icon in the main dashboard or using the application menu.



2) Inside the Manufacturing module, navigate to the "Products" menu and select "Bills of Materials" (BoM). This is where you can create and manage your Bill of Materials (BoM) for manufacturing processes.



3) Click On the Create button to create a Bills of Materials (BOM).



4) Product Selection:

  • Select the product for which you are creating the BoM.
  • If the product has different variants (e.g., size, color), select the specific product variant that you want to create the BoM for.

Define Product Quantity:

  • Specify the quantity of the product to be manufactured in the Quantity field. This indicates how many units of the product you want to produce using this BoM.


Enter the BoM Reference:

  • Enter a unique BoM Reference (e.g., "BOM-WCT-001") for easy identification and tracking of the BoM. This reference is used to link the BoM to the specific manufacturing order.


BoM Type:

Choose the BoM Type based on your requirement:

  • Manufacture this Product: For producing the selected product.
  • Kit: For assembling products using a list of components (but not manufactured).


Components:

Add all the raw materials or components required to produce the product.

For each component:

  • Specify the component quantity required for the production process (e.g., 3 wooden planks, 4 screws).
  • Define the Unit of Measure (UOM) for each component (e.g.,unit, pieces, kilograms, liters).




Save the BoM:

  • Once you have defined all the required components and quantities, save the BoM. This will link it to the selected product and allow you to generate manufacturing orders based on the BoM.
