Sage 200 - Bill of Materials

Designed for businesses undertaking light assembly who do not have the requirements of the full feature rich Manufacturing module, Sage 200 BOM, follows the bill of materials process from beginning to end. It breaks down the manufacturing operation into easy to access areas, including materials, labour, machines, operations and reporting.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Sage 200 - Precise Costing

    Detailed costs can be built in for each unit or build run. Additionally, 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.

  • Sage 200 - 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 - Easily manage multiple Bills of Materials (BOM)

    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 one time and staff are aware that a BOM is being edited.Full change history is stored for each BOM. Old BOMs can be marked as ‘Dead’ or ‘Obsolete’. Obsolete BOMs can be revived but not built from, and Dead BOMs can be permanently deleted if required.

  • Sage 200 - 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. Making it easier for your staff to use the software.

  • Sage 200 - 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. The 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.

  • Sage 200 - Flexible build options

    The system can be configured to always build subassemblies, or always use from stock, or allow choice in each case. Picking lists can be produced at the time of allocation or separately. Customised BOMs and ‘Specials’ - Existing item quantities can be changed, individual items can be replaced and new items added.

    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. In addition, the system can cope with the situation where finished goods are built without allocating raw materials first, for expedited builds.


Feature Explanation
Sage 200 2009 - Bill of Materials
Unlimited BOM levels BOMs can be created using unlimited sub-levels.
BOM line types Each BOM can contain multiple lines representing a stock item, subassembly, cost item, document or comment.
BOM history Complete history of changes within each BOM is stored.
‘On Hold’ feature BOMs can be placed on or off hold, with user-definable reason codes.
Support for serial and batch numbers Comprehensive support for serial and batch numbers on raw material and finished goods levels.
Common or standalone subassembly usage Subassemblies within BOMs can be self-contained, or be shared.
Rolled-up cost generation If desired the system can automatically recalculate rolled-up costs when a component changes.
Support for ‘Phantom’ BOMs You can create intermediate items that are never held in stock but are standalone constituents of another finished good.
Replace or delete items 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.
Where Used inquiry You can choose whether to view immediate parents, top level parents or a complete hierarchy.
Multi-item builds Allows multiple finished items to be included in stock calculations and allocations. Prevents finished goods with similar constituents using each other’s raw materials.
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.
Allocation reference numbers A reference number allows for easy identification of a particular allocation for a manufacturing run and the subsequent build.
