Sage 200 Suite - Sage 200 Bill of Materials

The Sage 200 Bill of Materials module follows your bill of materials process from beginning to end. It breaks down the assembly process into easy-to-access areas including materials, labour, machines, operations and reporting.

Here's how Sage 200 Bill of Materials can help your assembly processes:

Manage multiple Bills of Materials easily

Multiple versions of a BOM can be stored and used, one of which is 'live' at a given time.

• With powerful Version control, only one person can edit or change a BOM at any time, and other users are aware that a BOM is being edited.
• Full change history is stored for each BOM. Old BOMs can be marked as 'Dead', 'Obsolete' or 'On Hold'.
• Obsolete BOMs can be revived but not built from, and Dead BOMs can be permanently deleted if required.

Multiple views of BOM structures

• Four views of BOMs are available. The tree view allows drill-down through all levels and branches of the BOM. Top level view shows only the first level of components below the finished item. The bottom level view shows only the end points of each of the BOM branches. Consolidated view shows rolled-up totals of all components used.
• All BOMs can be created using unlimited sub-levels.
• Each BOM can contain multiple lines representing a stock item, subassembly, cost item, document or comment.
• All BOMs can have relevant documents attached, such as drawings and detailed instructions.

Flexible build options

• The system can be configured to always build subassemblies, or always use from stock, or allow choice in each case.
• You can manage products with multiple units of measure.
• Picking lists can be produced at the time of allocation or separately.
• Multiple finished items can be included in stock calculations and allocations to ensure finished goods that have similar constituents of another assembly cannot use each other's raw materials.
• Sage 200 Bill of Materials also supports 'Phantom' BOMs so you can create intermediate items that are never held stock in stock but are standalone constituents of another finished good.
• An item can be globally replaced or deleted throughout all BOMs with full control over where changes or deletions are made, including intelligent support for partially built finished goods.

Customised BOMs and 'Specials'

• Users can replace individual items, add new items or amend quantities of existing items.
• A 'Partial Build' feature means that if for some reason you don't need to build all the items that raw materials have been allocated for, you can enter the quantity you have actually built.
• For expedited builds, the system can cope with the situation where finished goods are built without first allocating raw materials.

Precise costing

• Detailed costs can be built in for each unit or build run.
• You can assign labour and machine time for each assembly process to ensure accurate costing.
• You can allocate a proportion of a fixed cost/operating overhead to a run, based on an average number of units per run.
• If a component changes, the rolled-up costs can be calculated automatically if desired.
• For components that do not use the standard costing method, the system will re-calculate the rolled-up cost of the finished goods upon allocation.

Intuitive operation

• The Bill of Materials module shares the same outstanding usability as the rest of the Sage 200 system with uncluttered screens and intuitive navigation.
• As the same process and screens are used whether performing a trial build, allocating stock or actually building items, the learning curve is less steep.
• A trial build displays the quantity of raw materials required, including any shortfalls and alternative sources of shortfall items to allow you to plan your build sequences.

Flexible Nominal Ledger analysis

• Stock use can be summarised to a single line for each nominal account when posting to the Nominal Ledger, or split out to multiple lines by component.
• Summarising nominal postings significantly reduces the volume of Nominal Ledger transactions, improving performance.

Sage 200 Construction

Sage 200 Construction is a modular software application that helps you to manage your construction processes more easily.

Including all features found in Sage Construct Advanced, it forms part of the Sage 200 Suite which includes software to manage operations across Accounts, Stock, Distribution and other areas of the business.

• Reduce costs - Our integrated software suite eliminates duplication. Real time supplier and labour prices can be stored and best prices used again and again.
