Acctivate Ingredient Management Software with dynamic bill of materials + kitting & assembly
A bill of materials with kitting and assembly capabilities is important for ingredient, flavoring, and spice manufacturers. A bill of materials is used to specify components used to “build” or process a product. Acctivate’s bill of materials tracks the components used to make a finished product and provides additional information such as inventory levels per component. Ingredient management software with advanced multi-level bill of materials can be used for products designated as an assembly (made to stock), a kit (made to order), or a batch processed finished good. At the time of shipment, costing for a bill of materials is derived from components used.
With Bill of Materials + Kitting & Assembly:
- The bill of materials may be changed at any time, while preserving sales history for previously assembled, kitted, or finished products
- Enjoy unlimited bill of materials components
- The completed product, the components, or both may be serialized or lot numbered
- Partial assemblies can be posted while the remainder is kept “in progress” until ready to post
- Custom kitting allows for one-off changes to the quantity of kit components or to add/remove components from kit on sales order
