What is Bill of Materials Functionality

A Bill of Materials is the complete list of parts, materials or ingredients required to complete a finished and sellable product.

In the world of fine dining, the experience of the chef is the lifeblood of a restaurant’s success. But regardless of the training and experience of the chef, with the flurry of constant movement and orders on a busy night, no restaurant can run without precise and accurate recipes. And even as the chef is creating new and amazing dishes, they will meticulously record the recipe to capture the exact ingredients in the exact quantities so that the dish can be recreated over and over. These recipes will also be used to order ingredients from suppliers and help to determine the cost of the item.

The same logic applies to manufacturers “recipes” for producing or assembling their products. These ‘Bills of Materials’ (BOM) are the assembly instructions for discrete manufacturing and the recipes that consist of the quantities of the raw material for process manufacturing.
