The BOM describes an expected structure; consumption records what was actually used. The comparison makes the transition from components to the finished product more legible.
Production bills of material
- Open Bills of Materials and identify the product to be created.
- Define or consult components and quantities needed for the planned production unit.
- Check the references, units and version of the bill before using it in a manufacturing order.
- Validates according to the business process and maintains the link to the finished product.
Consumption, finished products and traceability
- Open the manufacturing order and check the expected and already recorded quantities.
- Indicates the actual consumption of the components with relevant warehouses and batches.
- Records the finished products produced distinguishing expected, actual and residual quantities.
- Compare movements and order status before declaring the production cycle complete.
Putting this into practice
Before following a manufacturing order, check the components and quantities on the list. Upon registration, check relevant references and traceability to make the result interpretable.
