Workflow Overview

What is Bill of Materials (BOM) software in Likhtam?

Bill of Materials (BOM) software defines the exact formula, raw materials, components, quantities, and packaging needed to manufacture a finished product. In Likhtam, master BOMs automatically calculate finished unit production costs from component purchase prices and deplete raw materials while replenishing finished goods inventory in a single manufacturing entry.

Core Capabilities

What Likhtam delivers for this workflow.

Real features engineered for real business operations, not generic templates.

01

Master BOM Formulation & Quantities

Specify component items, raw materials, standard unit quantities, and packaging consumables required per finished unit.

02

Component Cost Rolled Up Dynamically

Finished product costs update automatically based on the latest purchase prices of raw ingredients and assembly components.

03

Packaging & Consumables Accounting

Include boxes, tape, bottles, labels, and caps in the BOM so packaging is never unaccounted for in inventory or margins.

04

Automatic Stock Consumption & Replenishment

Executing a manufacturing entry depletes component stock from raw godowns and adds finished goods to available inventory.

Practical Workflow

How it works from start to finish.

A clear, step-by-step process designed to keep your books completely balanced.

01

Define Finished Item & Master BOM

Create the finished product in your catalog and define its component list with exact consumption quantities.

02

Review Component Costs & Availability

Verify raw material stock levels and inspect current unit production costs rolled up from purchase prices.

03

Execute Production Entry

Specify the batch quantity produced (e.g. 100 units); component requirements scale proportionally.

04

Automatic Ledger & Stock Update

Raw materials are depleted, finished items are added to stock, and manufacturing cost journals post to your ledger.

Who this is built for

Designed specifically for:

  • Small and medium manufacturers assembling multi-part goods, electronics, or equipment
  • Food, beverage, and chemical processors tracking exact recipe formulations and ingredient costs
  • Fabricators and packaging operations standardizing material consumption and reducing scrap
Frequently Answered Questions

Factual questions, straight answers.

Clear details about Likhtam's capabilities, offline support, and compliance.

Yes. While the master BOM provides the standard template, you can adjust actual component quantities or substitute materials on individual manufacturing batches.

Yes. You can manufacture a sub-assembly first (e.g. PCB board) and then use that sub-assembly as a raw component in the final product BOM.

Likhtam automatically credits Raw Material Inventory and debits Finished Goods Inventory with the rolled-up production and overhead cost, keeping your Balance Sheet accurate.
