Manufacturing Bill of Materials
Software Reviews

Bill of materials is a module that is typically part of manufacturing / ERP software solutions. Bill of materials software is designed to create and maintain the parts lists needed to complete end products, including all assemblies and sub-assemblies as well as shipping supplies if needed. A bill of materials can be created as products are designed, ordered, built or maintained.

The automation provided by bill of materials software is of great benefit to manufacturers that create complex, multi-assembly products or multiple products with similar components. Assemblies built once in the bill of materials software and given a unique part number can be used over and over again for different products as needed. Bill of materials software often integrates with the inventory module to ensure that all materials needed during the manufacturing process are accounted for. It can also integrate with the quoting module to expedite the creation of quotations.
