Quick Summary: Master Bill of Materials (BOM) structures to forecast component requirements and drive precise raw material replenishment. Understand how parent-child relationships influence demand and control policy behavior for accurate planning.
Understanding BOMs
📌 Bill of Materials (BOM) Structure Explained
Learn how the app interprets BOM hierarchies, how parent demand translates into component demand, and how dependencies influence replenishment across multiple levels.
📌 How To: Interpret the BOM Tab
Follow a practical walkthrough of the BOM tab to see how to navigate hierarchy levels, filter components, and analyze parent and child relationships directly in the app.

BOM Forecasting and Ordering
📌 BOM Forecast Calculation Explained
Understand how forecasted demand for finished goods is converted into component level forecasts, how the system handles offsets between levels, and how to interpret calculated component demand.
📌 Raw Material Order Calculation Explained
See how the app converts component forecasts into purchase recommendations, how safety stock and lead time are applied, and how to troubleshoot unexpected raw material order quantities.
BOM Policy and Control
📌 Policy Overrides for BOM Items Explained
Learn how stocking policies and replenishment overrides are inherited within BOM hierarchies, and how to apply them effectively without distorting parent and child demand relationships.
📌 Deep Dive: Controlling Policy Behavior in BOM Hierarchies
Discover how policy override filters prevent duplicated safety stock and unintended stocking of components, ensuring control and accuracy in multi level BOM planning.
