Description
The Course is divided in to two sections.

First part of the course explains the definition of Bill of Material from the conceptual level in relevance to Manufacturing Industry.

BOM at Conceptual level

As part of this Course you will understand

What is Bill of Material through a few illustrations

You will be briefed on how Bill of Material is documented and viewed in multiple forms

You will than run through types of Bill of material according to the context of use by various departments such as Engineering, Production, Sales, Service, Product Costing and Planning teams

A few examples of how BOM is represented according to various scenarios

You will know how Tracing the requirements of Parent (from a Component point of view), is performed through Where-used and Pegging reports

You will revisit the uses of BOM for various departments such as Sales, Planning, Design, Manufacturing and Costing teams

You will than summarize the understanding on BOM concepts

BOM in ERP such as SAP

You will be given a set of demo data to see how World Class ERPs such as SAP define the BOM and use the data in multiple forms to perform various functions such as Production and Procurement scheduling, Pro-active Planning and Engineering changes

The DEMO data used for the Course is explained

A brief demonstration of Material Creation and a few useful reports

You will see how BOM is created for Semi-finished and Finished Material

You will than see how multiple views of BOM are populated and how these views and reports are used in multiple perspectives

You will than Conclude the Course

* The Course will be periodically enriched with a few exercises that you are do independently in and out of SAP system that you may have access.

* We do not provide the access to any SAP system and student needs to make her own arrangements.

Who this course is for:
Any ERP aspirant and beginner
Students conversant with SAP in other tracks and want to learn more
Students of Mechanical Engineering or equivalent such as Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering
Team in Manufacturing Industry performing functions with interface to Manufacturing team
Product Cost Engineers can benefit from Part 2
