Advanced Bill of Materials

Vantage’s Advanced Bill of Materials allows the entry, maintenance and listing of product bills of manufacturing, describing the structure of components and finished goods. Bill of materials (BOM) data is stored in a single-level format, meaning that each component assembly is assigned a unique part number and built only once. Multi-level relationships are then made by chaining together a series of single-level relationships, keeping system space utilization and key-in time to a minimum.

Advanced Bill of Materials installs with the Inventory Management module, so current inventory costs are always available for use in BOM costing. This also allows BOM cost roll-up to update current inventory costs. With Advanced Bill of Materials, single-level or complex multi-level assemblies can be created, maintained and used for quotes or jobs, saving valuable time for your engineering and production departments.

Method of Manufacturing
Includes both the bill of material and the routing of a part.

Engineering Approval
Until a method has been formally approved, it cannot be pulled into a job or a quote.

Costs Stored
Besides material costs, additional costs for manufactured parts such as labor, burden and subcontracting are stored and monitored within the bill of materials structure.

Cost Replace
The Cost Replace function rolls up costs from BOM and updates the finished goods inventory file.

Same as Except
Save and restore functions are used within the system to easily create new or same-as-except product structures without having to re-enter information.

Revision Control
Complete revision tracking with audit trail of date, user ID and description of the change.

Visual Indented Bill of Materials
Display an exploded view of an indented Bill of Materials to show product structure on the screen with a "staircase" numbering designation.

Requirements Reporting
A summarized material option, in addition to the standard indented BOM Requirement Report, is available to provide total requirements for each material.

Where Used
By displaying every product or assembly in which a specified component is used, you are able to identify those parts that would be affected by a contemplated design change or material substitution.

Mass Replace/Delete
Functions allow the efficient updating of all bill of materials structures when engineering changes occur.

Phantom Structures
Stock assemblies in inventory or maintain "phantom" assembly structures. This gives you the flexibility to process complex jobs without having to first establish a complete Bill of Materials.

Integration
Advanced Bill of Materials is fully integrated with Quote Management, Job Management, Material Requirements Planning, Inventory Management and Document Management modules.
