Setting up a nested BOM
The search results provide information about Cin7’s manufacturing capabilities, including the use of nested production BOM and sub-assemblies. Cin7’s Core Production Scheduler allows users to visualize production order information and create a schedule for production, ensuring that finished products are produced on time. The software also enables users to streamline the production process by tracking material flow between setup, manufacturing, and quality control processes, and automating stock transfers and purchase order replenishment. Additionally, Cin7 offers the ability to create and maintain accurate BOM for full visibility into manufacturing efficiency, including the use of nested production BOM and intermediary product BOM. The system also supports the creation of unlimited sub-assemblies and BOMs to manufacture finished products.
To create a nested BOM you need to first create an initial product and then set it to type “Production BOM” as per normal. In this example, we are making a base of a cake from a recipe.
Assign components and or resources such as labour/machines.
Once the first BOM is complete start creating the header BOM, which is the cake and include the base as one of the components. The initial BOM becomes a “sub assembly within the header BOM.
Once you begin the header production run, it will automatically create a related production order for the first BOM which is the base. Once the first production run is complete the base, we can then finish the production run to bake the cake.
In summary, Cin7’s manufacturing capabilities include the use of nested production BOMs and sub-assemblies to streamline the production process and ensure accurate tracking of materials and costs.
