Production Bill of Material (PBOM)

Use the production bills of material (p-bom) models to model how the product is built, in multiple levels and sites.

This applies to:

  • The way the product is produced
  • The materials that are used
  • The logistic handling
  • The standard cost

The production bill of material differs from the E-BOM in structure, width and depth.

The structure of the P-BOM is based on the way the product is manufactured and you can add standard materials used across all sites.

Once a P-BOM is complete, a job shop bill of materials for a specific site is generated that will also contain the available machines and or subcontractors, sub-assemblies built or specific materials for the specified site along with a routing.

The production bill of material is revision controlled.

You can use the models to define aggregation relationships for planning purposes and a bill of critical materials for items that can cause bottlenecks in the production process.

From the Production Bill of Material (timfc3600m000) session, you can create production models for various types of manufacture:

Note

If the multisite functionality is active, the combination of product and site specifies which bill of material (BOM) is used for the manufacture of the end item.
