BOM as DNA: one source of truth across nine departments

When Sales, technical, IE, warehouse, production, trade and accounting each keep their own version of the truth, the order breaks at every handoff.

One BOM, five lifecycle versions

The backbone carries a single BOM through quote, production, material planning, allocation and settlement. Every department reads the same numbers, in the same state machine.

That is what lets the planning agent balance lines toward 85–90% and the sourcing agent flag material risk four to six weeks ahead.
