Beneath the Bristles: How BOM and Route Define the Magic of the Self-Sweeping Broom

In the heart of Waterdeep’s bustling workshops, the broom stands as one of the simplest tools we manufacture, until it doesn’t.

What happens when that same broom is imbued with an Arcane Kinetic Core, inscribed with motion glyphs, and certified by the Arcane Artificers & Alchemists Union (ARALCH)? You no longer have a basic product, you have a regulated enchanted good with a completely different production footprint.

This article breaks down the detailed differences in BOM and manufacturing route between the Standard Broom and the Self-Sweeping Broom, revealing how something so familiar can become a case study in magical supply chain transformation.

Detailed Bill of Materials and Route Comparison

Standard Broom – HOME-BROOM-STND

• Total Items: 4
• Magic Involvement: None
• Compliance: Not regulated

• Total Operations: 5
• Work Centers Required: 3
• Production Duration: ~35 minutes
• Lot Tracking: Not required
• Compliance: Basic QA

Self-Sweeping Broom – HOME-BROOM-SWEEP

• Total Items: 7
• Magic Involvement: 3 lines (Core, Rune, Glyph)
• Compliance: Regulated by ARALCH – must include Rune Certification & Batch Tracking

• Total Operations: 8
• Work Centers Required: 6
• Production Duration: ~90+ minutes
• Lot & Batch Tracking: Required for Core and Rune
• Compliance: ARALCH-regulated Magical Goods Act §312c

 What the BOM & Route Tell Us

Implications for D365 Configuration

• Product Versions: Use separate BOM/Route versions for HOME-BROOM-STND and HOME-BROOM-SWEEP
• Item Types: Use “Service” and “BOM” types for enchanted lines
• Tracking Dimensions: Enable batch tracking for magical components
• Route Groups: Tag magical operations for inspection required and certified resource

When the Route Becomes the Revolution

What separates a broom from a Self-Sweeping Broom isn’t just a spell—it’s a complete transformation in how we define, track, and execute manufacturing. For teams in product engineering and production control, understanding these differences isn’t optional. It’s operational survival.

The shift from mundane to magical manufacturing starts with mastering the details, your BOMs, your routes, your compliance paths. Whether you’re configuring enchanted inventory, onboarding a new product line, or preparing your team for ARALCH audits, we’ve built the tools to help you do it right.
