Create Bill of Materials (BoM)

A Bill of Materials (or BoM for short) is a document that defines the quantity of each component required to make or deliver a finished product. It can also include various operations and the individual step guidelines needed to complete a production process.
Multiple BoMs can be linked to each product, so that even product variants can have their own tailored BoMs.

To add a new BoM to your organization:

• Step 1. Go to Bill of materials menu under Manufacturing module from the left sidebar.
• Step 2. Click on the Add button on the top.
  
  
• Step 3. In the Add bills of material popup, fill the following details: 
  
  1. Select the Product to be produced. This bill of materials (BoM) to be used for multiple variants of the same product. Having a consolidated BoM for a product with variants saves time by preventing the need to manage multiple BoMs.
  2. Select the Product variation (optional) if the BoM is specific to a product variation.
  3. Enter the Quantity, usually set to 1
  4. Select the Routing to define the manufacturing steps.
