Bill of Materials and Routing

Control material planning and usage according to the effectivity dates for phase-in and phase-out of content changes.

Document the entire process using detailed work instructions and standard note capability for each process step.

Allows components to be displayed where they are used on a single or multi-level bill of materials.

Use phantom items to simplify maintenance for related groups of parts and materials across multiple products. If you create a planning bill of materials, your planning and production teams can “skip over” phantoms to plan and allocate components.

Relate BOM component parts to the drawing’s part numbers to avoid confusion and duplicate entry in the bill of materials.

Manage multiple sites with different or alternate BOM/Routing definitions for each location.

Flexible cost roll activities support single- or multi-level BOMs by item or site, rolling lower-level item costs into top-level item costs. In standard cost operations, the cost roll updates pending standard costs for inventory items. The process separates cost calculations from updates, providing a transparent and flexible approach to generate, analyze, and schedule rollups across the manufacturing environment.

Copy existing BOM/routing definitions to create alternate BOMs and routings, or new items.

Replace a component with a different component on the individual BOM or all BOMs.

Display optional or required values when reporting production. Attributes are available on the bill of materials header and operations and can be copied to a production order when the order is created.

Maintain a complete revision history of BOM/routing. Save and view multiple revisions – past, present, and future – and the reason for the revision.

BOM revisions may be restricted when companies use the optional Acumatica Engineering Change Control application to enforce change control processes and approvals for bill of materials and routing changes.

New part bill of materials and revisions to existing bills of materials may be synchronized with the optional Acumatica for Arena Native Connector application. CAD connectors are also available from the marketplace to harmonize bill of materials details between Acumatica and third-party product design applications.
