Bill of Materials (BOM) Management Software for Manufacturers
SimpleManufacturing™ provides fully integrated Bill of Materials (BOM) Management Software designed specifically for manufacturers that require complete visibility into engineering structures, multi-level assemblies, revision control, manufacturing routing, inventory planning, and production workflows.
The BOM module is one of the core foundations of the entire SimpleManufacturing™ ERP system. It connects engineering, inventory, purchasing, production scheduling, shop floor tracking, quality assurance, and manufacturing traceability into a single integrated manufacturing platform.
Unlike disconnected spreadsheet-based BOM systems, SimpleManufacturing™ provides manufacturers with real-time visibility into: assemblies, subassemblies, component requirements, routing operations, outside processing, labor standards, inventory allocations, and engineering changes — all from a centralized manufacturing ERP system.
Why BOM Management Is Critical for Manufacturing Companies
Manufacturing companies depend on accurate Bills of Materials to coordinate engineering, purchasing, inventory planning, production scheduling, shop floor execution, quality control, and manufacturing traceability.
Without integrated BOM management software, manufacturers commonly struggle with: incorrect assemblies, inventory shortages, revision confusion, manual spreadsheets, duplicate engineering data, and disconnected manufacturing workflows.
Multi-Level BOM Structures
Manage complex assemblies, subassemblies, and component hierarchies with complete visibility into every manufacturing level.
Engineering Revision Control
Track revision history, engineering changes, approved revisions, alternate parts, and manufacturing documentation with complete traceability.
Integrated Routing Management
Define routing steps, work centers, outside processing, setup instructions, labor standards, and traveler workflows directly within the BOM structure.
Inventory & MRP Integration
Connect BOM requirements directly to inventory, material planning, purchasing, and production scheduling for real-time manufacturing visibility.
Manufacturing Traceability
Maintain full traceability between assemblies, components, vendors, work orders, inventory transactions, and production history.
Engineering Document Management
Attach CAD files, drawings, specifications, quality documents, inspection procedures, and work instructions directly to the BOM.

Bill of Materials Management Screens
The following screens demonstrate how manufacturers use SimpleManufacturing™ to manage engineering structures, routing workflows, manufacturing documents, assemblies, subassemblies, and production operations throughout the manufacturing lifecycle.
Search Bills of Materials by assembly, part number, revision, vendor, or customer with advanced filtering and engineering visibility.
Manage assemblies, subassemblies, component quantities, alternate parts, inventory requirements, and approved vendors.
Attach engineering drawings, CAD files, quality documents, work instructions, and specifications directly to the BOM structure.
Define routing operations, work centers, outside processing, setup instructions, and production traveler workflows.
Track operation sequencing, labor standards, inspection requirements, setup details, and manufacturing workflow execution.
Integrated Manufacturing ERP Visibility
The BOM module integrates directly with: inventory management, purchase orders, supplier management, work orders, MRP planning, shop floor tracking, quality assurance, and manufacturing traceability.
As production demand changes, manufacturers gain real-time visibility into: material shortages, inventory allocations, routing capacity, outside processing, labor requirements, and production constraints — allowing organizations to improve planning accuracy and manufacturing efficiency.
