Hi Folks,

Engineering currently produces two separate BOM's for a single board assembly, 1 for SMD's and the other for PTH parts which are subsequently entered into the ERP system by Doc Control. Without going into a lot of detail I understand the reasons for the separate BOM's are related to production logistics, routings and cost.

I am told this is typical in the industry for OEM's and would like to either corroborate or debunk this with your responses. I am trying to determine if the 2 BOM system is necessitated by ERP limitations or the result of a misguided approach to process development.

Does anyone use the two BOM approach for a single board assembly?

Thanks!

Regards,
Rick
