You love Fishbowl Inventory for the Fishbowl manufacturing tools it has to help you build your products. For very complex, muti-level manufacturing BOM's, one of your pain points may be needing to make sure you have ALL the raw materials to build your final assembly. Fishbowl has a version of this data for a SINGLE BOM record, but they dont have the option to print ALL BOMs in a single report, thats what we have provided.

After extracting all the data, this advanced Fishbowl report uses our proprietary database to calculate and display highly summarized cost information, or expand the BOM cost information to show you every level of every BOM you have. Some customers have requested this just so they can see an infinite number of levels of BOM building with a simplified flattened materials needed. Our customers use this for better materials planning.

The major components of the solution are: 

1. Fishbowl warehouse setup  -                   This zip file contains a batch file that installs the “server side” components (i.e. it  installs a FREE SQL Express instance to hold your data)
2. The Fishbowl inventory ODBC driver       This is how we are able to communicate with the Fishbowl server
3. The client portion of the solution              This installs the latest version of our application. If it is not present the link will installs it automatically  (of note, this is a click once application and installed for a single  user only)
4. Once the application is open just put in the activation code we sent you when you purchased the application and it will enable the application.
5. While we also support more complex installations, if installed locally, you should be ready to go after installing the pieces above
