Bill of Material

The Bill of Material contains the component items of a manufactured item. Each BOM line contains information about the position of the component item in the BOM, the required quantity, and the expiry date of the component item.

  • Single-level
    A BOM shows relationships of components to the parent item one level down.
  • Multilevel
    A BOM shows relationships of components and sub-components on multiple levels.
  • Summarized
    A multilevel BOM that does not list the levels of manufacture, and lists a component only once for the total quantity used.
  • Critical items
    An item that can cause a bottleneck in a production process due to a long or uncertain lead time.
