About Bill of Material (BOM)

A Bill of Material (BOM) contains BOM formulations that define a list of items and the quantity of each BOM item needed to produce a product. BOM items are defined and associated with BOM formulations in Plant Applications.

Using Route Editor, you can perform the following tasks:
  • Link a BOM formulation to a route.
  • Link BOM items to operations in the route.

After the route is released and used in a work order, you can provide details on the actual quantity of BOM items that are consumed, using the Work Queue module. This allows you to keep a track of the quantity of material that is consumed.
