Hi,

What are MBOM's and EBOM's with respect to 'Manufacturing Module'.

Hi Akshay,

EBOM's are design/engg BOM's.

MBOM'S are manufacturing BOM's.

Generally the design (EBOM) and the manufacturing (MBOM) views of the BOM are different, as each discipline has different needs and definitions as to how they structure and use a BOM. For example, the MBOM may contain phantom parts or made-on-assembly parts that do not exist in the EBOM view. EBOM's are used for the engineered products manufacturing i.e; designing a new product(for example).

Proplanneru2019s eBOM (product engineering bill of materials) defines and manages the components and structure of the product being manufactured. Users can attach documents to components (CAD Files, Cost Studies, etc), as well as database attributes that are reference by the other planning modules.

Users can import bill of material directly into the eBOM, and then export the eBOM items into mBOM to populate the manufacturing bill of material for the first time. When the eBOM is reimported in the future, Proplanner will reconcile and report on differences between the new eBOM and prior mBOM.

The eBOM and mBOM are presented as assembly trees that depict a hierarchical structure for the assemblies, subassemblies, and parts that make up the product, whether purchased or manufactured. Users can create and modify these trees as they would with files in Windows Explorer.

Whether created or imported, components are stored in the customeru2019s library for easy reference by others in the organization.

All end-items, assemblies, purchased components, manufactured components and raw materials are identified in the eBOM. Product features, can be accounted for in the mBOM. Users can associate drawing files, PDFs, digital photos and even video to every component in the tree for easy reference.

The eBOM allows users to assign suppliers to Purchased parts, raw materials and manufactured components that can have external suppliers.

Components in the eBOM can be assigned version numbers and are thus reconciled with the mBOM based upon their version.

Proplanner allows users to assign Options to the eBOM components and Option Mixes to the eBOM end-items. Users can then generate a specific eBOM view for a particular model, or display the generic view which lists all components used in all models.

Reward points if helpful.
