Blueprint explodes every forecast and work order through your real bill of materials — multi-level, every time — so you see component shortages before they stall the line, not after.
Sage tells you what's on a work order. It doesn't tell you that the pouch supplier is three weeks out, or that one ingredient drives shortages across nine SKUs. So someone builds that picture by hand, every week, in Excel.
By the time a component shortage is visible, the work order is already scheduled and the line is waiting. The BOM existed in Sage the whole time — nobody exploded it against current inventory.
Forecast in one file. Open POs in another. Work orders pulled fresh from Sage every Monday. Reconciling them is a half-day job that's stale again by Wednesday.
A finished good explodes to a recipe, the recipe explodes to raw materials. Most planning tools stop at level one — and miss the ingredient shortage three levels down that's actually the constraint.
Blueprint walks your bill of materials recursively — finished good to sub-assembly to raw material — and nets every component against on-hand inventory and open purchase orders.
Every component gets a live status: Critical, Short, Watch, or OK — driven by real coverage math, not a planner's gut feeling. Click through to see exactly which finished goods are pulling demand on that item.

Every open work order gets a material availability percentage, calculated from its exploded BOM against current stock and open POs — before it ever hits the schedule.

| 000000001257 | SK Beef Swt Pot Kale | 88% | WATCH |
| L05206D | LS Trop Mango Yogurt | 32% | CRITICAL |
