The AddonSoftware Bill of
Materials application is a flexible, easy-to-use system designed for companies
that assemble finished goods and manufacture most of the components. It provides
unlimited levels of material usage and has features that easily calculate
material, direct, and overhead labor costs.
You'll have accuracy and
complete flexibility
Define and improve your
manufacturing requirements through an efficient and easy-to-use Bill of
Materials process. Built-in flexibility allows you to define your materials in
any unit of measure, and adjusting factors for scrap and yield make materials
requirements simple yet accurate.
You can control engineering change orders with ease. Enter them in advance of
the change and let the effective date determine when to place them into effect.
Full change order history is available through the use of an obsolete date, and
you'll be able to generate complete reports showing only the current
requirements or a full history of all change orders.
Accurately calculate the actual manufacturing cost for an item by including
operations and subcontracts in your definitions. Track overhead for all
operations. Roll up costs on demand, or use average costing methods. You can
quickly back flush components after manufacturing for easy,
"just-in-time" operations.
Bill
of Materials is a flexible, easy-to-use system with time-saving
features:
-
Create
bills easily by using the "copy bill" feature. It lets
you use an existing bill as a template for a new one. Item lookups
assist you in bill creation. You can flag phantom bills that are
common assemblies used in several products, and when you open a
job, these bills are exploded.
-
Each
bill of materials contains a detailed list of requirements. By
entering a divisor and alternate for each item, you can define
unit-of-measure conversions. A scrap factor will increase the
calculated quantity required to allow for anticipated scrap, and
yield percentages adjust the quantity required to allow for
expected increase. Material costs are based on unit cost, quantity
required, and the divisor and alternate factors.
-
Define
your own operation codes to describe labor processes used in
manufacturing a particular item. They can be as general as
"labor" or as specific as the names of each machine used
in the routing. Each operation code can have its own labor and
overhead rates. You can define setup, run, queue, and move times.
-
You'll
be able to describe each operation in detail on convenient message
lines. Messages for materials are printed on pick lists, and
subcontract messages can be used for either internal or external
communications.
-
Identify
changes easily by using effective and obsolete dates for each line
type (materials, operations, subcontracts). Effective dates allow
phased implementation of ECOs; obsolete dates allow historical
tracking of past change orders.
-
Quickly
determine the impact of changes to your bill of materials files
with "where-used" listings for both materials and
operations.
-
You
can globally search and replace components with the AddonSoftware
powerful Global Component Replacement program. You simply enter a
date once; new components become effective and replaced components
will be obsolete.
-
Items
you produce or assemble can be entered and exploded against the
bill of materials to receive the completed assembly and to issue
or back flush the component parts. Phantom assemblies will also be
back flushed.
-
Selectively
update standard costs with the Inventory Costing program. You'll
have the ability to preview the impact of cost roll-ups with the
print-only version; then update with the cost-only version. All
levels of the bill will be printed in detail, reflecting labor,
overhead, and materials.
-
You
can enter the quantity desired to build, and a list of available
components is instantly displayed.
-
The
Bill of Materials windowed lookup displays a wealth of information
regarding each bill. There are many lookup methods.
-
You
can take advantage of optional batched entry and processing of
inventory production entries and order production entries.
