BOM Configurator
What can Xavor’s BOM Configurator Do For Your Business?
Xavor’s Bill of Materials (BOM) Configurator saves Agile PLM users time with a remarkably sleek Web UI which defines rules for Variant Management as well as creates Variants using these rules.
Key Features:
- Admin Panel for rules management and a User Panel for creating Variants
- Rules can be defined for Base BOMs and Market BOMs where the Market BOM inherits structure/rules from the Base BOM
- Base structure is common across markets and relates to a specific Finished Good (FG)
- Allows for different rules for various Markets
- Informs the User about the possible number of BOM Combinations after the Admin is done with Configurations
- Includes a built-in Rules Engine for executing complex rules
Configuration Options/Rules:
Using the Admin Panel, the user can complete the following:
- Mark a Feature Required
- Mark a Feature Optional
- Mark a Feature Not Available
- Define Min and Max number of features available for a specific Feature Set
- Create If/then Rules where a feature can be marked Required, Optional or Not Available based on the selection of another Feature
Expressions:
- Expressions are an important feature of BOM Configurator
- Expressions are if-then Rules. When using Expressions, the user can relate rules to other features in the BOM.
- Expressions can have a Global scope (throughout the BOM) or Feature Set Scope (within the same category of the BOM).
Variant Creation:
Users can create Variants once configurations are complete
- The Configurator will ensure that Rules are properly executed
- Newly created variants can be put on an ECO and routed for approval
