Build overview and the tasks it supports – Boyum Help Center

The figure below illustrates how Boyum Solutions' software portfolio supports the product value chain. Members of the Netronic Manufacturing family, i.e. Build, Schedule, Produce and Inspect are shown in full color.

While Netronic Manufacturing is documented in this Help center, you may also learn more about our logistics and product information management solutions on the Produmex WMS and Perfion pages, respectively.

The position of Build in the product value chain is highlighted by an orange frame. Build helps your product development and production departments manage requirements and specifications for new or changing products, plan and keep track of progress of relevant development tasks, and add finished products into your ERP system.

Adding products to the ERP system is often seen as the greatest hurdle in the product development process. Getting a product ready for production can be a complicated, manual task. Build provides a clear framework for each department, guides them through each step in the process, and ensures that products are added to the system efficiently and correctly.

Currently, you can only use Build if your ERP system is SAP Business One.

Below, you can see the main steps of the typical Build workflow.
