Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Manufacturing in the Semiconductor Industry
Semiconductor manufacturing stands apart as a unique process when you compare it to other manufacturing processes. From a systems perspective, production in most manufacturing industries is either discrete or process manufacturing – semiconductor manufacturing can be defined as process manufacturing with a discrete outcome. Here’s what I mean by that. The semiconductor manufacturing process is […]
Integrating Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales with Tensoft DemandOps
Tensoft Cloud Platform is designed specifically for the semiconductor industry and it supports two primary business processes, quote to invoice and procure to pay. The quote to invoice is the sales order management process where you are selling products to end customers and expecting payments from them. Procure to pay is the manufacturing & inventory […]
Boost Audit Compliance with Shipping & Invoicing Date Controls in Tensoft
Last month, Tensoft introduced powerful new features like shipping date controls and invoice date limits to help businesses enforce transaction boundaries and meet audit requirements with ease. What Are Shipping and Invoice Date Controls? These new features allow organizations to define a fixed window of acceptable transaction dates for shipping and invoicing activities: Shipping Date […]
How Supplier Integrations in Tensoft SemiOps Automate Chip or Wafer Probe
At Tensoft, customer feedback is one of the key drivers of our product roadmap. We regularly gather feedback from customers and develop features/enhancements based on their industry specific needs. A recent example of this is setting up supplier integrations in Tensoft SemiOps to automate chip or wafer probe. Traditionally, suppliers treat the wafer and probe […]
Tensoft EDI Integrations: How Does It Work?
Tensoft’s customers sometimes require EDI integration as part of their overall ERP/supply chain system. (EDI is Electronic Data Interchange – a B2B standard that has been in place for a long time.) Some Tensoft customers require automated creation of sales orders and invoicing using EDI to deal with their customers. This is particularly useful in […]
What’s Missing in Traditional ERP Inventory Systems?
It’s not that traditional ERP Inventory systems don’t work for everyone – they just don’t work well for fabless semiconductor operations. Trying to make them fit is much like trying to force your left foot into your right shoe – you may be able to jam it in, but it won’t be comfortable or highly […]
Inverted Bill of Materials vs Consumed Material Model in Semiconductor Industry
Usually in semiconductor production process, we use an inverted bill of materials (IBOM). A wafer in the inverted bill of materials can become multiple different finished goods instead of multiple parts in a bill of materials all coming together to be built into a finished good. The screenshot below shows the inverted bill of materials […]

All of the information that you need is already available in Tensoft SemiOps: […]
A Traditional BOM in Tensoft SemiOps
Semiconductor manufacturing typically requires a “one-to-many” production process where wafers move to die, and die are then moved through multiple assembly and packing processes to provide multiple outcomes from a single wafer. This is achieved in Tensoft SemiOps through an inverted BOM (Bill of Materials) model. An inverted BOM is an essential feature for systems […]
