If the product structure is wrong, requirements are wrong

Production BOM management defines which semi-finished goods, raw materials, accessories, labor and operation steps make up a product and carries them into the production order.

How to Manage Production BOM
1

BOM is the main data source for production cost, material needs and work orders.

2

An incorrect BOM means missing materials, wrong cost and delayed delivery.

3

Delbig connects BOM data to production orders, inventory and purchasing flow.

BOM standardizes the production decision

If the same product is interpreted differently for each order, material planning and cost control break down. BOM records the technical structure so production starts from the same standard.

  • Raw materials, semi-finished goods, accessories and operation items can be defined.
  • Different BOM scenarios can be handled for product variants.
  • BOM revisions should be evaluated with production and cost impact.

BOM feeds inventory and purchasing needs

When a production order is opened, the system should read which materials are required and in what quantity. Purchasing can then see shortages early, while warehouse tracks consumption and reservation more clearly.

  • Material requirements can be calculated by production quantity.
  • Unavailable items can move into purchasing planning.
  • Consumption data flows back into production cost.

Frequently asked questions

Can production orders be opened without BOM?

They can, but material needs, cost control and standard workflow become weaker.

Does a BOM change affect inventory requirements?

Yes. When BOM changes, required materials, consumption and cost calculations also change.
