Patent ID: 10089602

Abstract:
A fast branch-based hybrid Bill of Materials (BOM) system and method is provided that generates a BOM having a plurality of BOM lines that specify component revisions of components stored in a data store that are usable to build a structure. The BOM lines may be configured via at least one baseline branch and at least one live branch that instantiate component revisions for the structure. The system retrieves at high speed BOM lines for the BOM for components having revisions that are not associated with the at least one live branch from at least one index (i.e., cache) of BOM lines generated based on the baseline branch. The system also configures BOM lines for the BOM for components having revisions associated with the at least one live branch via at least one configuration rule. The system also causes a display device to output a list of component revisions based at least in part on the generated BOM.
