The Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Bill of Materials module allows you to easily
create and maintain a detailed bill of the components and miscellaneous
charges that make up your finished items and subassembly components. You
can produce accurate and informative reports detailing bill structures,
component requirements and production history.
The Bill of Materials module is designed to accommodate
the after-the-fact recording of production. As the production of each
finished product is recorded, the component items used are automatically
relieved from inventory, and the finished products are automatically
received into inventory. Disassembly of finished items can also be
recorded. During Disassembly Entry and Production Entry, components may
be added, deleted or modified.
Products sold in a variety of configurations are
accommodated by a unique Bill Options feature. Using this feature,
components to be added to or subtracted from the base bill may be
specified for each option. When the Sales Order module is integrated,
you can select Bill Options during Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data
Entry.
Engineering Change Control and unlimited revision
capabilities are key features of the Bill of Materials module. The
Engineering Change Control feature facilitates the recording of bill
structure changes, which improves product quality and production
efficiency. A detailed record of engineering changes and bill revisions
may be retained indefinitely, providing a complete history of the
evolution of your products.
FEATURES:
Bill Revisions
Different versions of a
bill can be maintained simultaneously. This feature is useful if you
change the configuration of your product but still need to refer to
the old configurations.
Bill Options
Bills with multiple
configurations can be created. Up to nine categories of options can
be defined for each bill. Each Option Category can have an unlimited
number of valid choices.
Up to 99 levels
Components grouped
together for manufacturing purposes but never built for stock can be
defined as a Phantom bill. You can print reports with Phantom bills,
or you can blow through Phantom bills by printing only their
components.

Sales Kit
Processing
Sales Kits are
single-level assemblies not normally stocked together but grouped as
a unit when a sale is made. Kit components can be added or deleted
during Sales Order Entry. At your preference, component detail can
be printed on Sales Orders and picking sheets.
Yield and Scrap
Accommodation
Built-in yield and scrap
accommodation provides accurate forecasting of material requirements
as well as final output. Both yield and scrap calculations can be
used within a single bill.
Production Entry
Manufactured products
can be recorded into inventory and component materials relieved
using this program. During the entry process, bills are
automatically exploded into component detail lines. You can add,
delete or change component items and override standard quantities
and warehouse for each component. Miscellaneous Charges and comments
can also be entered.
Disassembly
Entry
Disassembly of
manufactured products can be recorded into inventory and component
materials returned to stock using this program.
Engineering
Change Control
Planned changes to the
bill structure can be recorded in advance. You can add or delete
multiple components from a bill using the Engineering Change Entry
process. You can also specify an Effective Date when printing
reports to include engineering changes up to that date.
Miscellaneous
Charges
Bills can include
non-material charges such as labor and overhead costs. Actual units
and costs associated with Miscellaneous Charges can be entered
during Production Entry to reflect actual costs incurred.
Cost Roll-up
Register
The cost of each bill
can be calculated based upon the cost of each component and
Miscellaneous Charge, and upon any yield and scrap percentages. The
component costs can be calculated using the average, last or
standard cost method.
Work Order
Integration
When integrated with the
Work Order Processing module, bill of material components can be
automatically merged into a work order. The Work Order module
provides a complete Work in Process Manufacturing System for
companies that require more comprehensive control of their
manufacturing process.
MRP Module
Integration
The Bill
of Materials module provides bill detail that is used by the
Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module. The MRP module provides
information to the purchasing and production departments so that
they can maintain sufficient amounts of materials on hand at all
times.
