Finished good bill of materials
A bill of material (BOM) is list of all components, parts, and raw materials that make up a parent assembly, showing the quantity required to make the assembly.
A single-level bill of material is used in Production Management. A single-level bill of material contains the components used to produce the finished good. Finished goods can be assigned as a component of another finished good to build subassemblies. A work order produces only one finished good bill of material level at a time.
A finished good bill of material contains the number of components for each finished good and the order in which they are used in production. You can also assign burdens, byproducts, and comments to a finished good bill of material.
After production is complete, a finished good may require further work because of poor quality or incomplete assembly. Another work order can be created for the finished good by adding the item as a component of itself and selecting the rework component type. This can be done on either Finished Goods or Work Order forms.
Example of Finished Good Bill of Material
An example of a finished good bill of material is a box of 12 chocolate-covered cherries. For this finished good, the components are
- chocolate
- cherries
- creamy syrup
- box
- tissue lining
In this example, a byproduct is created in the form of chocolate drops.
