The Omnix ERP Bill of Materials module is used to maintain a bill of materials for each code in the Stock Master. A bill of materials consists of the cost components required to assemble or manufacture a product stock item.

Key features:

• can be uploaded from CSV files in order to speed up the taking on of numerous multi-level bills
• consists of the four major cost components required to assemble or manufacture a product
  • components or raw materials required to manufacture the stock item
  • machine costs
  • labour costs
  • overhead costs
• can consist of any number of cost component entries
• can record descriptive information relating to the manufacturing process that can be printed on the Bill of Materials
• can be expanded to associate additional products that would normally come with an ordered product but which do not form part of the standard Bill of Materials
• has a re-sequence option which re-sequences a complete Bill of Materials or a selected range of entries within the Bill of Materials. Re-sequencing may be necessary after inserting new lines into an existing Bill of Materials
• can perform bulk changes and amendments of numerous bills of material - for example, load, amend or delete the Bill of Materials for a range of product groups
• has an integrity check which ensures that a bill of materials is not duplicated in a lower level
• can identify available balance for a specific component
• has a reporting capability which includes a report listing the finished stock items that use specified components and the number of components required for each finished stock item
• can calculate and analyse the variance between expected and actual quantities, costs, timeframes, material and machine usage
• has a back flush which provides for overhead provision in the General Ledger when a job is completed
