Working with Bill Of Materials

Bill of materials handling is described in this instructional video. Learn more about how inventory items are built into BOM’s, and how to scan BOM’s on the factory floor.

Scanning BOM’s deducts each inventory item in its list from stock. It also tells you when to reorder each inventory item, and how many to reorder.

Have you tried “Clear To Build?” CTB tells you how many BOM’s you can build, based on the quantity in stock for each inventory item inside the BOM. As you scan BOM’s, the inventory item is reduced, and therefore the CTB goes down. But as you scan inventory into stock, CTB goes up.

Have You Tried Client Invoicing?

Client invoicing gives you the tools to turn shop floor activity into billable content. Just create a new customer invoice that includes time and materials from shop floor barcode scans. Choose a client, job, and date range. That’s all it takes to query factory activity for invoices. Send if off and get paid!

Have You Tried Bill of Materials?

You must be scanning inventory in Standard Time, right?

Everybody does! So… yeah!

This YouTube Short tells what happens when you scan a Bill Of Materials. I.e. BOM. Turns out, each inventory item inside the BOM is deducted from inventory and emails are sent when stock is nearly depleted.
