Price It Right, Track It Tighter
Material Management & Material Costing
Material is where programs quietly bleed margin. Long lead times, sole-source suppliers, and furnished material create cost exposure that spreadsheets cannot keep up with. This solution forecasts material cost from historical actuals and market signals, tracks cost at the BOM level against baseline, and flags variance before it lands in the actuals, all reconciled with the ERP.

Where Material Cost Gets Away From You
Material cost forecasting lives in spreadsheets
Forecasts are built by hand from last year's numbers and stale quotes. They miss market movement and go out of date the moment they are published.
BOM-level variance is caught late
Cost variance shows up in the actuals after the fact. Without BOM-level tracking against baseline, there is no early signal that a build is running over.
Long-lead and furnished material lack accountability
Long-lead procurement and government or customer furnished material are tracked informally. Commitments and accountability are hard to reconstruct.
Forecast, Track, Reconcile
Material cost is planned, tracked, and reconciled against the ERP at the level the BOM is built.
Forecast
Forecast material cost from historical actuals and market data, with AI assistance rather than static spreadsheet math.
Track at BOM Level
Track cost at the BOM level with real-time variance against baseline as the build progresses.
Manage Long-Lead & Furnished
Forecast long-lead procurement, track commitments, and maintain accountability for furnished material.
Reconcile
Reconcile subcontractor material cost flow-down and integrate the result with the ERP material ledger.

Common Questions
- What does Material Management & Material Costing do?
- It forecasts material cost, tracks actuals at BOM level, and analyzes variance against baseline for organizations managing complex BOMs, long-lead procurement, and regulated material flows, integrated with the ERP.
- How does BOM-level cost tracking work?
- Cost is tracked at the level the product is built, with real-time variance against baseline that rolls up from component to assembly to program, so cost drift is caught early rather than in the actuals.
- Does it handle furnished material and subcontractor flow-down?
- Yes. It maintains accountability and reporting for furnished material and reconciles subcontractor material cost flow-down as part of the cost picture.
- Does it integrate with SAP?
- Yes. It is built to reconcile with the ERP, including SAP BOM, procurement, and material ledger data.
