BOM

💡

A bill of materials (or BoM for short) is a list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product.

BoM setup

To create a BoM, go to Bimbal ‣ Products ‣ Bills of Materials :

Click New
Next, set the BoM Type to Manufacture this Product.
Then, specify required components and quantities

💡

Tip!
Individual BoMs can also be quickly accessed or created by clicking the Bill of Materials smart button on any product form, as well as through any internal links where a product is referenced (such as in a field or a line item)

Use of BOMs

Whenever you add a product with a BOM to a Variant Line or a BIM Template Line, Bimbal suggests importing its BOM automatically.

If products in a BOM have a BOM, Bimbal will import the entire tree structure into the BIM.

⚠️

If certain BOMs are not useful to you in BIMs, you can check the “Exclude from BIM” box.

Quantity

The Quantity field allows you to complete your BOMs based on the quantities of this product typically used by your company.

Example:

Product	UoM	Quantity
Reinforced concrete foundation slab	m3	25
↳ Concrete	m3	26,25
↳ Metal fiber	kg	40
↳ Workforce	hour	8
↳ concrete pump	Each	1
