The application of BOM in e-commerce website

We discuss the BOM is the narrow sense of the BOM, and ERP for the production of the BOM there is a big difference. At the same time, we discussed the main business-to-business platform, more detailed restrictions: The Business-to-business platform for industrial products.

　First, what is the BOM

BOM is a Material, its English is all known as Bill of the Chinese translation of the BOM. Literally translated as "BOM" or "Product structure table", in some industrial fields, some ERP software is called "formula", "factor table".

BOM in ERP software performance most thorough, in ERP, BOM is MRP (material demand plan, Material requirement planning) important document.

The general BOM includes the material structure level, the item number, the item name, the specification, the unit of measurement, the quantity yield, the source type (homemade/outsourced/outsourced), the lead time (the cumulative lead time) and also the period of validity (effective period/expiration period).

The BOM file list has a hierarchy that shows the number of pieces of detail (number of components and artifacts) that are required for the next level of finished production per unit.

　Ii. use of BOM in e-commerce platform

In the E-commerce platform, we will use the most simple BOM function.

In the development of Amoy Industrial center platform before the investigation, the business staff mentioned that customers in the procurement of a major product, almost will be purchased a series of ancillary accessories, the following is an understandable example (for example, not real BOM):

V A production of ceramic machinery enterprises, his next week's production plan is 20A-type printing machine, the type of printing machine needs a lot of material, and the company to our procurement of materials included (to a single meter):

Serial number of item brand

1 Frequency converter Yaskawa vb4a0031 1

2 Plastic case Circuit breaker odd positive kem1-63h 6

3 pressure transmitter West Gram pbt-cb1x6sgtssnala0z 10

4 PLC Mitsubishi FX2N-32MR-001 1

Table 1: Example of a company in the Amoy Industrial shop BOM Sample

such as, customers in the Amoy industrial shop users backstage, the establishment of a type printing machine BOM, the BOM is very clear reaction of the customer in the production of a-type printing machines, the need to Amoy Industrial mall procurement of the BOM and quantity.

Of course, customers can build a lot of such a BOM, convenient to Amoy industrial Control Mall order materials.

Once the customer has established these BOM, each purchase, the customer only needs to select the BOM, and enter the purchase quantity, then the system will automatically expand and generate a purchase list, the specific process.

1. Select the BOM you want

2. Input quantity (quantity of this BOM purchased this time)

3. Production Procurement list

4. Complete the Order

third, BOM in the customer experience on the benefit

1. Quick Order

For customers, the BOM can help customers reduce the next single time, a mature BOM, you can obviously provide a single speed, the customer needs to be based on the production volume, simple changes need to purchase a multiple can, and then do fine-tuning.

Of course, the BOM can still be based on the changes in production, through the version, or copy, fine tuning to create a new BOM list.

2. Reduce errors

For the procurement of production enterprises, the procurement of a wide variety of materials, and material code (I will later in another article on the application of the custom code in the Electronic Business platform), the material specifications are still

3. Easy Management

A procurement staff, may face a lot of procurement requirements, these procurement requirements may come from different parts, or even branches, the use of BOM management, can allow the procurement staff to better manage the procurement needs.

　Iv. Procedural response

How should the Business-to-business platform respond to the demand for BOM from the purchasing staff?

1. BOM Establishment

The system should provide a flexible way to establish the BOM, generally speaking, at least provide the following ways to establish a suitable customer's own BOM.

When browsing products

When the customer finds the right product in various ways, he should be able to add the product to a new or existing BOM conveniently.

Order Conversion

The customer may not be familiar with the use of the BOM, but he has ordered a number of products through the system, at which point you should provide an opportunity to convert the customer to a BOM list by order.

BOM Import

You can provide a standard XML, pdf,xls,csv or text file format template to facilitate customers to import their own management system export BOM list, in order to quickly build a BOM.

2. BOM Management

Similarly, the program should provide the appropriate BOM version management function to facilitate customer management of the BOM, these include new, modified, version and so on.

Five, function expansion

1. Interface with the Enterprise management system

Now most of the production enterprises have their own production management system, these systems provide the output standard form of purchase orders, provide a standard data interface, can greatly simplify the workload of the procurement staff.

2. Management of the delivery period

Inevitably, the material delivery period will greatly affect the production of enterprises, the system to provide information on the delivery, will help the procurement staff to make a reasonable choice is necessary, so, in the BOM list of the goods, is very necessary.

3. Management of alternative products

Sometimes, due to different inventory conditions, resulting in a few items in a BOM lack of inventory, it is necessary to provide procurement personnel with the lack of material replacement material information is essential to assist the procurement staff to weigh the procurement work.
