What is a bill of materials?

A bill of materials (BOM) is the recipe for something you build: every component, the quantity per unit, and — done right — the cost of each line. In TrackFinch a BOM is alive: each line reads live stock and current prices, so the same document that describes the product also answers whether you can build it and what it costs. Full explainer: what is a bill of materials?

Multi-level assemblies

Assemblies all the way down.

Sub-assemblies nest inside assemblies with quantities at every level. Ask for 40 finished units and TrackFinch explodes the tree — every plate, bolt, and coat of powder — against what's actually on the shelf.

Nested sub-assemblies with per-level quantities
One-click explosion for any build quantity
Shortages flagged with drafted POs attached

Cost roll-ups

Margins you can read off the screen.

Every component line carries its cost; every assembly rolls them up per unit. When steel jumps or a vendor reprices, the margin impact is visible before the next quote goes out — not after the job loses money quietly.

BOM to build

From recipe to work order, one click.

The BOM is where builds start: release a work order and components reserve against live stock, the floor sees the job, and consumption logs back as it runs. No re-typing, no parallel spreadsheet.

Frequently asked questions

What is BOM software?

BOM software manages your bills of materials — the recipes for everything you build — as living documents connected to stock and cost. Instead of a static list, every component line knows its on-hand quantity and current price, so builds, shortages, and margins compute themselves.

What should a bill of materials include?

Each line needs the component, its part number, the quantity per unit, and its unit cost; the BOM itself carries the assembly it builds and any sub-assemblies. Our plain-English BOM guide walks through it, and the free BOM template gives you the structure.

Does TrackFinch support multi-level BOMs?

Yes — assemblies nest inside assemblies, and costs roll up through the levels. The weldment inside the frame inside the finished unit each carry their own components, and "build 40" explodes the whole tree against live stock.

How do BOMs connect to work orders?

Releasing a work order pulls the BOM, reserves components against live stock, flags shortages, and logs consumption as the job runs. The BOM is the plan; the work order is the plan happening.

Can BOMs tell me what a product costs to build?

Per-unit component costs roll up automatically, so every assembly shows its material cost — and a supplier price change shows its margin impact immediately. Makers use this to price with math instead of vibes; see TrackFinch for makers.

Can I import BOMs from Excel?

Yes — CSV import handles items and BOMs, and the free template's columns match the importer. Most shops move years of spreadsheet BOMs in an afternoon.
