A finished unit is a hundred components away from raw stock.
Electronics and assembly manufacturing lives and dies on component availability: one missing part on a multi-level BOM can stall an entire production run. Yukti tracks the full component tree down to what's actually on the shelf, and follows a unit through repair or warranty after it ships.
The Real Workflows Behind Electronics & Assembly Manufacturing ERP
Multi-level BOM explosion for real sub-assemblies
- Handles sub-assemblies within sub-assemblies, the way electronics are actually built
- Component substitutions available when a specific part is short
- A change two levels down rolls up through cost and material requirements for every parent assembly
BOM comparison for engineering change control
- BOM comparison shows exactly what changed between product revisions
- Matters for engineering change control on fast-iterating product lines
- No manual re-checking of every higher-level BOM by hand
Component-level inventory, not one blended count
- Each connector, IC, or resistor reel carries its own stock level and reorder point
- One missing low-value passive component stalls a run as hard as the priciest part
- Tracked at the level electronics assembly actually runs at
Repair work orders separate from new production
- Lot and serial tracking traces which component batch went into which finished unit
- Turns one complaint into a proactive check across every unit built from that lot
- Repair jobs draw from spare-parts inventory but run as their own work order
How the Pieces Connect
One ticket answers service, inventory, and warranty at once
- A defect report is really three problems: a service ticket, a lot question, a warranty cost question
- Sales history, inventory lot data, and field service tracking sit on the same platform
- One person answers all three and checks whether other shipped units share the lot
Purchasing sees shortages several BOM levels down
- A shortage several BOM levels down is invisible unless something explodes the tree
- Component-level reorder points tied to the full sub-assembly structure trigger a PO
- Catches it before it stalls the line for a far more expensive finished unit
A bad component lot shows up as margin, not a surprise
- Warranty and repair costs post against the specific product and implicated component lot
- A chronic quality issue traced to one supplier's lot shows up as a margin problem
- Surfaces before finance discovers it at quarter's end
AI that flags a shortage three BOM levels down before it stalls the line
A single missing sub-component can stall an entire multi-level assembly, but that shortage often shows up several BOM levels below the finished product.
Tracks reorder points at the component level
Coordinates procurement timing with the production schedule
Triggers a purchase order for a shortage several levels down the BOM
Acts before the shortage becomes a stalled production line

Common Questions
Our products have sub-assemblies that are themselves built from smaller sub-assemblies. Can Yukti explode a BOM like that automatically?
Yes. Multi-level bill of materials handles sub-assemblies within sub-assemblies the way electronic products are actually built, and a change to a component at any level rolls up through material requirements and cost for every parent assembly that references it, instead of someone manually recalculating each level by hand.
Do you track inventory down to individual part numbers, or just as one count for the finished assembly?
Component-level inventory tracks stock at the individual part number, a specific connector, IC, or resistor reel, each with its own stock level and reorder point. That's necessary because a shortage of one low-value passive component stalls a production run exactly as hard as a shortage of the most expensive part on the same BOM.
If a customer reports a defect, can we find out which other units might have the same problem?
Yes. Lot and serial tracking follows individual units down to which batch of a specific component went into them, so a defect traced to one component lot can be checked against every other finished unit built from that same lot, turning one complaint into a proactive check instead of a one-off repair.
How is warranty repair work tracked differently from new production?
A repair job runs as its own work order, separate from production work orders, and draws parts from the same inventory but is tracked as a distinct job type. That keeps parts committed to open repairs from silently looking like available stock for a new production run, and keeps the actual cost of post-sale support visible as its own number.
When we revise a board or product design, can we see exactly what changed from the last version?
Yes. BOM comparison tools show the difference between product or board revisions directly, which is what engineering change control on a fast-iterating product line actually needs, not a manual diff between two spreadsheet exports.
Where a Simpler Tool Might Be Right
An assembler putting together one simple product from a handful of components, with no repair or warranty operation to manage, doesn't need multi-level BOM explosion or component-level lot tracking. A lighter inventory and production tool will be quicker to configure. This page is for manufacturers running complex, multi-level assemblies with an ongoing service or warranty tail after the sale.
