Manufacturing

Bills of Materials

Go to Manufacturing > Master Data > Bills of Materials.

BOM Form - All Fields

Components Tab

Add raw materials and sub-assemblies:

• Product - The raw material or sub-component.
• Quantity - Amount per BOM quantity.
• Unit of Measure - Can differ from product UoM (e.g. kg vs g).
• Scrap (%) - Expected waste %. Quickenerp reserves extra material.
• Operations - Which operation consumes this component.
• Apply on Variants - For multi-variant products.

By-Products Tab

If the production process yields secondary products (e.g. sawdust, scrap metal), add them here. The by-product quantity is deducted from total production cost.

Multi-Level BOMs (Sub-Assemblies)

If a component has its own BOM, Quickenerp recursively explodes it. Create a BOM for the sub-assembly, then add the sub-assembly as a component. When the MO is created, the system shows all raw materials at the lowest level.

Kit (Phantom) BOM

For products sold as a set but not physically assembled. The components are delivered individually. Use BOM Type = "Kit". No MO is created - the kit is delivered directly from stock of its components.

BOM Versioning

Create multiple BOMs for the same product. Set one as active. Use BOM version comparison to review changes. When you archive an old BOM, new MOs use the active BOM.

Production Planning

Replenishment-Based MO Creation

Products with route "Manufacture" and a reordering rule trigger MO creation:

1. Go to Inventory > Master Data > Reordering Rules.
2. Set route = Manufacture.
3. When stock drops below minimum, the replenishment engine creates an MO.

Planned Orders

Go to Manufacturing > Planning > Planned Orders. These are tentative MOs not yet confirmed. Review and confirm them in batch. Useful for medium-term capacity planning.

MRP (Material Requirements Planning)

For advanced planning:

1. Go to Manufacturing > Planning > MRP.
2. Click Run MRP.
3. Quickenerp analyzes:

• Current stock levels.
• Open sales orders.
• Forecasted demand.
• Reordering rules.
• BOM structure (explodes multi-level BOMs).

Production Scheduling

The Gantt view in Manufacturing Orders shows scheduled MOs across work centers. Drag and drop to reschedule. Filter by work center, date, product.

Unbuild Orders

Go to Manufacturing > Operations > Unbuild Orders. Use when you need to disassemble a finished product back into components.

Creating an Unbuild Order

1. Click Create.
2. Product - The finished good to disassemble.
3. Quantity - Number of units to unbuild.
4. BOM - Select which BOM to reverse.
5. Lot/Serial Number - If tracked, select the specific lot.
6. Location - Where to put the disassembled components.
7. Click Unbuild.

Use Cases

• Quality failure - disassemble a defective unit and salvage components.
• Correction of wrong MO.
• Return to stock - customer return being broken down.

MO Reversal (Cancel Done MO)

If an MO was completed by mistake, you cannot delete it. Instead:

• Create an unbuild order for the product.
• Or create a scrap order for the finished goods.
• Or create a new MO to consume the finished goods back to stock.
