Standardise Production with Intelligent Bill of Materials Management
Managing production using spreadsheets or manual calculations often results in inconsistent material consumption, inaccurate planning and production delays. Different team members may use different raw material quantities, leading to inventory discrepancies and inconsistent finished goods.
With BOM Management, Shipzy enables manufacturers to define and manage standard Bills of Materials (BOMs) for every finished product. Automatically calculate raw material requirements based on production quantity, populate BOMs into Work Orders and maintain complete traceability from raw materials to finished goods.
What's New?
With BOM Management, you can:
- Create Bills of Materials (BOMs) for finished products.
- Maintain multiple BOMs for the same product.
- Map finished goods to required raw materials.
- Automatically calculate raw material quantities based on production quantity.
- Auto-populate BOMs when creating Work Orders.
- Modify BOMs for specific production batches when required.
- Track actual raw material consumption during production.
- Maintain batch-level traceability.
- Standardise production across all manufacturing batches.
- Improve inventory planning and production accuracy.
Example
- Product : Turmeric Powder – 25 kg Bag
| Raw Material | Standard Quantity |
|---|---|
| Turmeric Finger | 25.80 MT |
| Packaging Bag | 1 Nos |
| Label | 1 Nos |
| Stitching Thread | 3 Metres |
When a Work Order is created for 200 bags, Shipzy automatically:
- Retrieves the assigned BOM.
- Calculates the required raw material quantities.
- Populates the Work Order.
- Helps the production team plan material consumption.
- Records actual material usage during production.
If required, the production team can modify the BOM for that specific production batch without affecting the standard BOM.
How It Works
- Step 1 : Create a BOM for a finished product.
Step 2 : Map all required raw materials.
Step 3 : Create a Work Order.
Step 4 : Shipzy automatically loads the assigned BOM.
Step 5 : Raw material quantities are calculated based on the production quantity.
Step 6 : Review or modify the BOM if required for the batch.
Step 7 : Record actual raw material consumption during production.
Step 8 : Maintain complete batch traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is BOM Management?
BOM Management allows manufacturers to define the raw materials required to produce a finished product and automatically use those materials during production planning.
- Can I maintain multiple BOMs for the same product?
Yes. Shipzy supports multiple BOMs for the same finished product, allowing different production methods or product variations.
- Does Shipzy automatically populate the BOM into a Work Order?
Yes. When a Work Order is created, the assigned BOM is automatically loaded into the production process.
- Are raw material quantities calculated automatically?
Yes. Shipzy automatically calculates required raw material quantities based on the production quantity entered in the Work Order.
- Can I modify the BOM for a specific production batch?
Yes. Users can adjust the BOM for a particular production batch without changing the standard BOM.
- Does Shipzy track actual material consumption?
Yes. Actual raw material consumption is recorded during production to improve inventory accuracy and production traceability.
- How does BOM Management support traceability?
Every production batch is linked to its raw materials, enabling manufacturers to trace finished goods back to the materials consumed during production.
