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
BOM data can feed an RFQ workflow, but AuraVMS does not claim native BOM management. Connecting a BOM or inventory system to RFQ creation requires API integration or custom work.
