Unlocking Efficiency: Streamline BOMs and Work Orders with NetSuite

In manufacturing, efficiency isn’t just a goal—it’s a competitive advantage. But when Bill of Materials (BOM) management and work order processing are handled through spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or legacy ERP software, inefficiencies multiply. Delays, errors, and excess costs become inevitable.

This is where NetSuite ERP stands apart. Built for modern manufacturers, NetSuite provides integrated tools to streamline BOMs and work orders, improving accuracy, planning, and production speed.

Let’s explore how NetSuite helps manufacturers unlock greater efficiency from the core of their operations.

The Challenge: BOM and Work Order Inefficiencies

Without a centralized system, managing BOMs and work orders becomes a manual and error-prone task. Common challenges include:

• Difficulty maintaining version control for BOMs
• Misalignment between engineering, production, and procurement
• Manual work order entry and duplication
• Lack of visibility into materials availability and production status
• Delays due to disconnected inventory or scheduling systems
  

These issues slow production and increase costs. NetSuite solves them with a single platform that integrates BOM management, production planning, and real-time execution.

How NetSuite Streamlines BOM Management

A Bill of Materials is the foundation of every product you manufacture. NetSuite simplifies and strengthens BOM handling through:

1. Centralized and Version-Controlled BOMs

Manage all your BOMs in one place with:

• Multi-level BOM support

• Automatic version control and revision history

• Standard, phantom, and alternate BOMs

• Easy cloning and modification for new products
  

This ensures consistent production specifications, even as products evolve.

2. Seamless Integration with Inventory and Procurement

NetSuite ties BOMs directly to inventory levels and purchasing workflows. When a work order is created, NetSuite automatically:

• Checks material availability

• Suggests reorders for low stock

• Aligns procurement timing with production schedules
  

This real-time integration reduces stockouts and overordering.

Optimizing Work Orders with NetSuite ERP

NetSuite’s work order management automates and accelerates the entire production process. It enables manufacturers to:

1. Automate Work Order Creation

NetSuite can generate work orders automatically based on:

• Sales order demand

• Inventory thresholds

• Master production schedules
  

No more manual entries or missed production steps.

2. Improve Shop Floor Execution

With NetSuite, work orders include detailed routing, BOMs, and instructions, which can be accessed directly by floor staff. This leads to:

• Faster job setups

• Better quality control

• Reduced training time for new operators
  

NetSuite also supports barcode scanning, mobile access, and real-time updates.

3. Track Production in Real Time

As work orders are executed, NetSuite updates:

• Material consumption

• Labor usage

• Production progress

• Cost accumulation
  

This real-time visibility empowers production managers to act quickly if issues arise—without waiting for end-of-day reports.
