Introduction
Welcome to this user-friendly guide on the BOM Stock Report feature in Empress. This feature is a vital tool for businesses involved in manufacturing, allowing you to keep track of your raw materials and manage your inventory effectively.
Introduction to the BOM Stock Report
The BOM Stock Report (Bill of Materials Stock Report) is a feature that provides valuable insights about your raw materials inventory. It shows the amount of each material needed for production and how much is currently available in your selected warehouse. This feature is essential for avoiding material shortage, minimizing downtime, and ensuring smooth operations.
Accessing the BOM Stock Report
Getting to the BOM Stock Report is simple:
- From the home page, navigate to Manufacturing.
- From the manufacturing page, select Reports.
- In the reports section, choose BOM Stock Report.
Feature Functionality
The BOM Stock Report displays two critical data points:
- Required Quantity: This shows the amount of each raw material needed to produce a product.
- In-Stock Quantity: This indicates the amount of each raw material presently available in your warehouse.
Items with insufficient quantity are highlighted in red, while items with enough quantity are marked in green. This makes it easy to spot materials that are running low and need to be replenished.
Using the BOM Stock Report for Business Operations
You can use this feature to keep an eye on your inventory levels and ensure you always have the necessary materials for production. Here’s how:
- View Information: The report provides a clear overview of your raw materials, showing you at a glance what you have and what you need.
- Edit Information: Although you cannot directly edit the quantities in the report, you can update your inventory data in the relevant sections of Empress, and the report will reflect these changes.
- Sort Information: You can sort the report data by material name, required quantity, or in-stock quantity to quickly find the information you need.
- Track Information: The report allows you to monitor your inventory levels in real-time, helping you prevent stockouts and production delays.
