If you are using AutoDesk Inventor to construct your drawings, you can optimize your bills of materials flow by integrating with Siqnal. The video shows how.

Step 3: How to create project data step by step

In the previous section, we created master data. When working with projects and controlling material flows with Siqnal, there are two methods to bind bills of materials to reservations and purchases. When working with projects over a longer period of time, it becomes clear that both methods are required in real life.

With method 1, bills of materials are the foundation of purchases or stock reservations. Click on the two videos below to see how.

Video 1 - How to work with Project BOMs - Direct Purchase of BOM Articles

Video 2 - How to work with Project BOMs - Direct Reservation of BOM Articles

With method 2, it is the other way around. Purchases and reservation of articles are done in advance and at a later date in the project, these are bound to bills of materials. Click the videos below to see how.
