Stop Inventory Chaos: Managing RFQs and Purchase Orders in OpenBOM

Stop treating inventory as an afterthought. Learn how to bridge the gap between Engineering, Purchasing, and Production using the OpenBOM 2026 Digital Thread.

In this video, we walk through the "Product-First" approach to inventory management. Instead of disconnected spreadsheets or complex ERP entries, OpenBOM connects your Bill of Materials (BOM) directly to your supply chain. We show you how to move seamlessly from a design intent to a finished SKU without re-entering a single piece of data.

What you will learn:

The Shared Foundation: Building Item Catalogs and connecting Vendors.
Planning Orders: Moving from "What is the product?" to "How many are we building?"
Gap Analysis: Automatically identifying what’s in stock vs. what needs to be ordered.
The Purchasing Loop: Creating RFQs and POs directly from your planning data.
Production & Receipt: Receiving parts (full or partial) and incrementing finished goods inventory.
Ecosystem Integration: How OpenBOM works alongside your existing financial tools like QuickBooks or Xero.

Why it matters: Inventory problems don't start in accounting; they start in engineering data. By the end of this walkthrough, you’ll see how OpenBOM provides a practical path to scaling your manufacturing operations in 2026.
