Bill of Materials (BOM)
List component parts of a particular product to be manufactured.
By
AnyDB
The Bill of Materials (BOM) template in AnyDB is designed to help manufacturers, engineers, and operations teams organize and track the components required to build a finished product. This structured template supports cost tracking, part identification, quantity management, and nested component breakdowns.
Suitable for
Description
This template provides a spreadsheet-style layout where each row represents an individual raw material, part, or component used in the manufacturing of a product. It includes fields for part numbers, component descriptions, quantities, unit costs, and total cost per item. The overall structure is grouped by BOM level, which allows users to represent subassemblies and hierarchical assemblies.
Dynamic calculations are built in to track the total number of components and total cost of all materials. A badge highlights the final calculated cost, helping teams stay aligned on budget targets and bill accuracy. Fields are clearly formatted, color-coded for readability, and locked where necessary to maintain consistency.
Key Data Stored
- Assembly Name and Number – Name and reference number for the product being built
- BOM Levels – Numeric values used to organize components by subassembly or hierarchy
- Component Descriptions – Detailed names for raw materials and parts
- Part Numbers – Standardized identifiers for tracking and procurement
- Unit Costs – Price per unit of each part or material
- Quantities – Number of units required per item
- Total Cost per Line Item – Auto-calculated from quantity and unit cost
- Overall Total Cost – Roll-up of all component costs in the BOM
- Date of Approval – Optional tracking field for version control
- Responsible Owner – Person or team accountable for the BOM
- Visual Badges – Summary badges for product name and total cost
Business Use Cases
- Manufacturing Planning – Provides a clear breakdown of materials needed for production
- Product Cost Estimation – Calculates the total cost of building a product, supporting margin and pricing decisions
- Procurement Coordination – Links part numbers and costs to inventory and supplier data
- Engineering Change Management – Enables tracking and review of part changes over time
- Operational Audits – Provides traceability of all components used in product builds
Why This Template is Powerful
- Hierarchical Structure – Supports complex builds with multiple BOM levels and subassemblies
- Live Cost Tracking – Calculates and summarizes material costs automatically
- Clear Visual Formatting – Color-coded cost fields and consistent layout for ease of use
- Fully Structured and Editable – Built to adapt to a wide range of product types and complexity levels
- Collaboration Ready – Designed for use by engineering, finance, procurement, and manufacturing teams
This BOM template helps organizations transform component lists into a clean, cost-aware, and traceable structure—streamlining the path from design to delivery.
