Create the Perfect Fabrication Bill Format for Purchasing

Fabrication bill format for Purchasing

hi everyone I'm Gareth with the off the shelf when you make physical Goods keeping track of the parts list or bill of materials for each product is fundamental let's look at these two pulleys these share a bunch of components this is the single pulley and it's made up of a base plate some spacers a shiv a cover four mounting screws and a Kingpin if we look at the double pulley version we can see it's basically the same thing but it has two ships and then it has to have a different base plate to accommodate the second shiv now we could think of each of these products as just a bunch of individual components but it might be better to think of each product as just two things a base plate and then pulley assemblies the pulley assembly itself is made up of several components grouped together let's show how to describe this in off the shelf first I want to define the pulley assembly since we'll Nest it inside both the single pulley product and the double pulley product click the add part button and then add all the components that we need now let's make the finished products I'll start with the single pulley if add a new product and type in a name the only part that we need is the base plate so let's add that [Music] then we need to add the pulley assembly as a sub product sub products allow you to Nest groups of components inside of another product you can put sub products inside of sub products inside of sub products nesting them as deeply as you need to let's repeat this process for the double pulley [Music] here we need to add quantity two of the pulley assembly there are a couple of benefits to nesting products first it makes it easier to propagate a change across many products that share an assembly second if you pre-build sub-assemblies and shelve them this helps you track your work in progress there you go that's how you create a build materials in off the shelf see you next time [Music]
