Bill of Materials (BOM)
E-Max’s bill of materials allows you to accurately define all the components, materials, parts, subassemblies and quantities required to manufacture a finished product. Starting with the finished product at the top, its hierarchical structure allows infinite multi-level BOMs of unlimited size. Save time by duplicating existing BOMs, use the tracking history to record revisions (ideal for audit purposes), and import BOMs from other software packages, including Excel and CAD packages. Included in E-Max ERP’s BOM is a standard item configurator.
