Overview

What it does:
  • Establishes a structured list of raw materials, sub-assemblies, and operations required to produce a finished product
  • Records component quantities, UOMs, and optional operations/workstations in a single document
  • Drives Material Requirement Planning (MRP), production scheduling, and inventory reservation
Prerequisites
  • Finished goods and components are defined as “Stock Items” under Stock > Item > Item List
  • Warehouses for raw materials and finished goods are configured under Stock > Warehouse

​
1.0 Open the BOM List

  1. From the home menu, navigate to Manufacturing > Bill of Materials > BOM List.
  2. Click New in the top-right to start a new BOM.

​
1.1 Populate BOM Header

  1. BOM No.: Auto-generated by CGIC (you can override if needed using a custom naming series).
  2. Item: Select the finished good you intend to manufacture (e.g., “Danaval Chocolate Bread”).
  3. BOM Type: Choose one of:
    • Manufacture (for in-house production)
    • Subcontract (if a third party performs production)
  4. Quantity to Manufacture: Enter the default quantity (e.g., 100 units). This determines component scaling.
  5. UOM: Auto-populates based on the finished good’s default unit of measure (e.g., “Nos” or “Kg”).
  6. Applicable From: (Optional) Set an effective date if this BOM replaces an older version.
  7. Warehouse: Choose the source warehouse for raw materials (e.g., “Raw Material Store”).
  8. Manufacturing Cost Center: (Optional) Assign a cost center if you track production costs by department.
  9. Save to reserve the BOM number and enable component entry.

​
1.2 Add Raw Material Components

  1. In the Materials table, click Add Row.
  2. For each component, select:
    • Item Code (e.g., “Flour 50Kg Sack”) by scanning or typing.
    • Required Qty (quantity needed to produce the BOM quantity, e.g., 0.5 kg per loaf).
    • UOM (should match the component’s default unit).
    • Consumption Type: Choose either
      • Mandatory (must be consumed for every production run)
      • By Product (if the item is produced as a by-product)
    • Warehouse (source location for this component; auto-filled from header but override if needed).
  3. Repeat for all raw materials and sub-assemblies required to produce the finished good.
  4. Click Save to validate component totals.
CGIC will auto-calculate total component requirement if you change Quantity to Manufacture later.

​
1.3 (Optional) Define Operations/Workstations

  1. If your manufacturing process includes distinct steps, scroll to the Operations table.
  2. Click Add Row for each operation:
    • Operation Name (e.g., “Mixing,” “Baking,” “Packaging”).
    • Workstation (select the shop floor location or machine where this operation occurs).
    • Time in Minutes (standard time to complete that operation per unit).
    • Sequence (enter 1 for first operation, 2 for second, etc.).
  3. Repeat until all steps are defined in sequence.
  4. Click Save again to lock in operations.

​
1.4 Review & Submit the BOM

  1. Double-check header and tables to confirm:
    • Finished Item and Quantity to Manufacture
    • All Materials listed with accurate quantities and warehouses
    • Optional Operations are in correct sequence
  2. Click Submit to finalize the BOM:
    • CGIC will mark the BOM as Active.
    • The BOM can now be used to create Work Orders or drive Material Request for raw materials.
Creating a precise Bill of Materials in the CGIC App standardizes your manufacturing processes, automates raw material reservation, and ensures accurate costing. Once the BOM is active, you can seamlessly generate Work Orders, plan materials, and track production—enabling consistent, efficient, and auditable manufacturing operations.
