Bill of Materials (BOM)

A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list of raw materials, components, sub-assemblies, and parts needed to manufacture a product, along with the quantities of each required. It serves as a master document for production planning, procurement, and inventory management.

A well-structured BOM is critical for:

• Accurate cost estimation
• Efficient procurement processes
• Streamlined production planning
• Effective inventory control

Modern procurement systems like AuraVMS integrate BOM management to automate RFQ generation based on production requirements, ensuring timely material sourcing.
