Bill of materials overview

<< Prev Next >>

A bill of materials (BOM) is a list of components, operations, and their details (including the quantities of each) needed to manufacture, assemble, or disassemble a finished product.

For example, a BOM for manufacturing a sofa can include the following operations and components:

Operation	Component
Building a frame	Wood
Stuffing	Polyester
Applying covering	Nylon

If a product has multiple variants, there's no need to create a separate BOM for each one. Instead, you can create a single rule-based BOM that automatically determines the components and operations required to manufacture each variant of the product. For example, a BOM that automatically selects black paint for a black table, yellow paint for a yellow table, and so on.
To learn more, see Multi-variant bills of materials.

In 1C:Drive, a BOM can be used in the following processes:

Process	Purpose
Assembly	Provide a list of components consumed to assemble a finished product.
Disassembly	Provide a list of components received from disassembling a finished product.
Production	Provide a list of components consumed and operations completed to manufacture a finished product.
Subcontracting services provided	Provide a list of components consumed and operations completed to manufacture a finished product.
Service-to-cash	Provide a list of components consumed and operations completed to provide a service.

1C:Drive stores all BOMs in the Bills of materials catalog. To open it:

Go to Production.
Under Catalogs, click Bills of materials.

In this catalog, you can:
