Viewing Inventory Value Across a Multi Level BOM in Cetec ERP

Complex, multi level BOMs can hide a significant amount of inventory value. Cost accounting and planning teams need a clear way to see how much money is tied up in components for a given product structure, not just at the top-level part.

Cetec ERP provides a Component Value report that shows quantity on hand and inventory value for every component and subassembly in a multi level BOM. You can open this report directly from the part record and quickly see where inventory value is concentrated.

Open the Component Value Report from the Part Record

To review inventory value on a multi level BOM in Cetec ERP, start from the part record for the finished item. From the left-hand navigation menu, select the Pricing/Cost section, then choose the Comp Value option. This opens the Component Value report for that BOM.

Review Quantity on Hand and Inventory Value by Component

The Component Value report breaks out each component and subassembly in the BOM structure. For every line, the report shows the quantity on hand and the extended inventory value for that component. This lets you see how much value is sitting in stock for each item that feeds the finished assembly.

At the bottom of the report, Cetec ERP totals the inventory value for all components on hand for that BOM. With a single view, you can see how much money is tied up in a product, identify high-value components, and support decisions about assemblies that rely on expensive inventory stock.

Key Takeaways

  • Use the Component Value report in Cetec ERP to view quantity on hand and inventory value for every component in a multi level BOM.
  • Start from the finished part record and navigate to Pricing/Cost, then Comp Value, to open the report.
  • Review the breakdown of components and subassemblies to see where inventory value is concentrated.
