RE: Parts List and BOM
RE: Parts List and BOM
As for a 'Bill of Material', that was a complete list of all of the parts needed to manufacture a particular finished product. And depending on how options and exceptions were handled, this BOM may or may not be a roll-up of all of the 'Parts Lists' of the sub-assemblies that made up the final product. Also there could be different types of BOM's. For example, if many of the parts were manufactured in-house, there might be a 'Manufacturing Bill of Material' which could include raw material and even items consumed during manufacturing such as welding rod/wire, expendable tooling, paint, adhesives, etc, which might not be explicitly listed in the 'Product Bill of Material'.

RE: Parts List and BOM
Since a "parts list" often includes bulk materials (like paint, adhesive, sealants, etc.) that are used to produce the part/assembly, or when a "parts list" for a machined component only consists of a single entry describing the raw material used to make the part, a more correct term might be "parts and materials list". But as racookepe1978 notes, ultimately what matters is whatever your company or customer prefers to use.

Typically an IDL is just a list of drawings. Our BOM usually covers the quantities required to build the system, and the the procurement details, like price and delivery.

BOM is what's in the ERP or other planning software etc.

RE: Parts List and BOM
how many nuts are on the drawing for one flange subassembly?
How many nuts do you buy per unit?
How many are purchased by your company?
How many are charged to each customer and each customer's job order?
