Hi,
My company is looking to make big changes to our software. Currently everything we use was written in house, and has become outdated.
We're looking at introducing PLM (I'm aware this a huge subject) But I was wondering if anyone out there had used PLM to configure manufacturing BOMs from engineerings BOMs. (I'll explain) 
We currently supply furniture assemblies in a large number of colours. We'd like to keep colour data out of our inventor models as we don't want to have a model in the vault for every available colour. We'd like the inventor model to only contain size and meterial data, then have a (PLM?) package combine the inventor BOM with colour choices to produce BOMs of parts that include colour data. It seems like a simple enough process to be possible, but I'm struggling to find any direct references.
(Sorry if this is possibly the wrong forum)
Thanks
