| 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 Sage MAS 90 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. |
| Bar Code Printing |
Production labels and picking sheets can
be customized to print two types of bar codes. Bar codes and bar code printers must be
predefined using the Bar Code Printer Maintenance in the Sage MAS 90 Inventory Management
module. |
The Sage MAS 90 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 Sage MAS 90 Sales Order Processing 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 Sage MAS 90 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.
