BOM & Routing on Salesforce

Salesforce BOM Management That Keeps Production Accurate

Build the right product. The right way. Every time.

Manage your bills of materials and routing directly inside Salesforce, so every product, component, and process is clearly defined, connected, and executed in real time.

Most production issues don’t start on the shop floor. They start with incorrect BOMs, missing components, and unclear processes. Axolt BOM management is part of the Manufacturing ERP platform on Salesforce.

The Root Cause

Why BOM & Routing Break Down

In many manufacturing environments, BOMs and routing are disconnected, outdated, and difficult to manage.

Incorrect or outdated BOMs

Maintained in spreadsheets without real-time updates.

Routing steps misaligned

Production processes are documented separately from materials.

Changes not tracked

No version control or consistency across teams.

Teams use outdated information

Leading to production errors and inefficiencies.

What Happens Next

Inventory becomes inaccurate
Production slows down
Costs increase
Delivery timelines slip

Axolt changes that. Your product structure and production process are fully connected inside Salesforce.

The Outcome

Consistent, Efficient Production

When BOMs, routing, and execution live on one platform, every team works from the same definition of what goes into a product and how it is built.

Ensure every product is built correctly
Align materials with production requirements
Standardize manufacturing processes
Reduce errors and rework

No confusion. No outdated data. Just consistent, efficient production.

Core Capabilities

Everything You Need for Accurate Production

Define what goes into every product and how it is built, then keep both accurate as products, suppliers, and processes change.

Multi-Level BOM Management

Handle complex product structures with confidence.

Multi-level BOMs
Sub-assemblies
Component dependencies
Complete visibility into what goes into every product

BOM & Routing Change Management

Adapt quickly to engineering changes without disrupting production.

Version control
Change tracking
Live updates
Controlled changes with minimal disruption

Optimized Routing

Define the most efficient production path, aligned with your machine and labor capacity.

Step mapping
Machine alignment
Workflow standardization
Faster, more efficient production

Resource Utilization

Make better use of materials and labor.

Material alignment
Labor allocation
Waste reduction
Higher efficiency with lower cost
Beyond the BOM

A Correct BOM Isn’t Enough on Its Own

Your bill of materials defines what’s needed to build a product, but it doesn’t confirm you can actually build it right now. That check happens at the point of production release.

Clear to Build (CTB)

Before a work order is released, Axolt validates the BOM against live material availability, component allocation, and capacity, so an accurate BOM is never undermined by a shop floor that isn’t actually ready.

Axolt Feature

From Accurate BOM to Ready to Build

BOM validated against live material availability

Component allocation confirmed before release

Capacity checked alongside materials

Work orders released only when the floor is ready

Know what to build, how to build it, and that you can build it now.

Built For

Manufacturers That Need Accuracy and Control

Whether you assemble complex products or run multiple product lines, Axolt keeps your product definitions and production processes consistent as you grow.

01

Discrete Manufacturing

Manage detailed BOMs and assembly processes.

02

Process Manufacturing

Align materials and production steps efficiently.

03

Multi-Product Operations

Handle multiple product lines and variations.

04

Growing Manufacturers

Scale production without losing consistency.

Take Control

Build with Confidence. Execute Without Uncertainty.

Know what goes into every product

Know how it should be built

Execute without errors, all inside Salesforce

BOMs, routing, inventory, and production share one platform, so there is nothing to sync and nothing to reconcile.

FAQ

BOM Management on Salesforce: Frequently Asked Questions

What is BOM management in Salesforce?

It means defining and maintaining your bills of materials (the components, sub-assemblies, and dependencies that make up each product) directly on the Salesforce platform. With Axolt, BOMs sit alongside routing, inventory, and production, so every team works from the same product definition.

What is the difference between a BOM and routing?

A BOM defines what goes into a product: components, sub-assemblies, and dependencies. Routing defines how it is built: the production steps, machine alignment, and workflow. Axolt manages both together so materials and processes stay aligned.

Does Axolt support multi-level BOMs?

Yes. Axolt handles multi-level BOMs with sub-assemblies and component dependencies, giving you complete visibility into what goes into every product.

How are BOM and routing changes controlled?

Axolt provides version control, change tracking, and live updates, so teams always work with the latest BOM and routing definitions and changes reach production with minimal disruption.

How does BOM management connect to MRP and production planning?

Accurate BOMs drive material requirements planning, and routing aligns production schedules. Because both run on the same Salesforce platform, planning, inventory, and execution always use the current product definition.

What is Clear to Build, and how does it relate to the BOM?

Clear to Build is a check at production release. Before a work order is released, Axolt validates the BOM against live material availability, component allocation, and capacity, so you only start production the floor is ready for.
