BOM Software India — Define Once, Produce Accurately Every Time

• Define every raw material, ingredient, or component needed to produce one unit
• Set exact quantities and units (kg, litre, metre, piece, gram, ml) per input material
• Supports both discrete manufacturing (components → finished product) and process manufacturing (ingredients → batch output)

Creating a BOM in Stock Register takes under two minutes. You select the finished product, then add every raw material or ingredient it requires — along with the exact quantity and unit of measurement needed to produce one unit. For example, a 500ml bottle of hand sanitiser might require 350ml of isopropyl alcohol, 100ml of distilled water, 40ml of aloe vera gel, 5g of carbomer, and 1 bottle with cap. Once this BOM is saved, every production order for that product uses the same formula — scaled automatically to whatever quantity you are producing. You never re-enter the composition again.

• Build BOMs for sub-assemblies or intermediates that are used in a parent product's BOM
• Ideal for furniture (frames and upholstery), garments (sub-cut panels), and metal fabrication (welded sub-units)
• Track raw material consumption at every level — from raw material to sub-assembly to finished product

Many manufacturers produce products that have intermediate components — sub-assemblies that are themselves assembled from raw materials before going into the final product. For example, a wooden sofa might have a frame sub-assembly (teak wood, screws, brackets) and an upholstery sub-assembly (fabric, foam, thread) which together make the final sofa. Stock Register's multi-level BOM lets you define these relationships — a raw material goes into a sub-assembly, and the sub-assembly goes into the finished product. When you raise a production order for the sofa, the system calculates the full raw material requirement down to the last screw.

• Enter production quantity — system instantly calculates total raw materials needed
• Checks godown stock availability before you confirm the production order
• Alerts you if any raw material is insufficient before production begins — not after

The most valuable thing BOM software does is eliminate mental arithmetic from production planning. When you raise a production order for 500 units of Product A, the system multiplies your BOM quantities by 500 across every single raw material — automatically. If Product A's BOM has 8 raw material inputs, the system calculates all 8 quantities in under a second, then checks whether each quantity is currently available in the correct godown. If even one raw material is short, you see the alert before confirming — giving you time to raise a purchase order or adjust the production quantity. No more stopping production mid-way because a raw material ran out.

• Raw material stock auto-reduces the moment a production order is confirmed
• Finished goods stock auto-increases with the manufactured quantity
• No manual stock adjustments, no spreadsheet updates — inventory always accurate

In most small manufacturing businesses, the production team confirms an order and someone else has to remember to update the inventory register. This gap — between production happening and inventory being updated — is where errors accumulate. Stock Register eliminates this gap entirely. The moment you confirm a production order, the system atomically deducts raw material stock from the designated godown and adds finished goods to the output godown. If you are producing 200 units of Product A and your BOM says it needs 500g of raw material X per unit, exactly 100kg is deducted — no more, no less. The inventory is always accurate in real time.

• Discrete manufacturing: fixed components assembled into a finished product (furniture, garments, electronics)
• Process manufacturing: ingredients blended into a batch output (food, chemicals, pharma, paint)
• Job work models: raw material sent to contractor, processed goods received back

Indian small manufacturers span a very wide range of production types — a garment manufacturer assembles fabric and trims into garments (discrete), a food processor blends ingredients into a recipe product (process), a chemical manufacturer combines formulas into intermediates and then final products (process with sub-batches), and a plastic manufacturer runs specific mould configurations (discrete with scrap yield). Stock Register's BOM system supports all of these. For process manufacturers, the BOM works as a Recipe or Formula. For job work manufacturers, the BOM tracks what materials are sent to the job worker and what comes back as the processed output.

• View total raw material consumed per production run against BOM-expected quantities
• Identify material wastage and yield variance across production batches
• Download BOM-based production reports in PDF or Excel for any date range

A BOM is not just a planning tool — it is a control tool. Once production is complete, you can compare what the BOM said should be consumed versus what was actually consumed. Consistent variance between expected and actual consumption points to real problems: measurement inaccuracies, operator errors, material leakage, or a BOM that needs updating because your process has changed. Stock Register automatically captures this data from every production order, so generating a consumption variance report is a matter of seconds — not a manual exercise that nobody has time to do.
