BOM Setup for Manufacturing Company in Sage 300 ERP

By | July 29, 2013

Sage 300 ERP provides an efficient Manufacturing Operation Flow covering material consumption, processing manufacturing orders, work in progress, routing cost calculation, material scrap. It also provides up-to-date item statistics, including on-hand quantities, current purchase orders, work orders, transfer orders, and other elements that affect planning decisions.

Say for an instance; if company gets an order from a customer for 1000 units of item (say Table lamps), then the concerned person in the company will first check if the required quantity is there in the stock. If he finds that the required Quantity is not in hand, he will have to manufacture the order.

He can then calculate the raw material required to create the finished goods (BOM) in the masters and send the same to the warehouse for production. Once the raw materials are available for production, it can be assembled into finished goods. These finished goods have to be sent back to the warehouse for shipment to the customer.

Hence, for setting these Manufacturing Order process in Sage 300 ERP, we need to start with setting up BOM (Bill Of Material) in the system.

Bill of Material [BOM]: Production Entry provides bill of materials, and real-time costing from Inventory Control. As a result, to create BOM (Bill of Material), assemble items has to be created in “master items” to sell. To define BOM, navigate to Inventory Control-> I/C Items & Price List-> Bills of Material.

Defining Bill of Material (BOM) includes the following steps:

1. Input FG Item number in the master Item NO field.
2. Input BOM No
3. Insert Build Quantity (the quantity that would be produced or minimum production of quantities)
4. Enter Variable Cost ( Overhead cost per 1 Build Quantity)
5. Input Component Item No to produce the Build quantity and the respective units that would be used for this component item.
