BOM items

Each BOM consists of one or more BOM items, also referred to as components, sub-parts, or sub-items. A BOM item defines the quantity of each material required to produce a finished product. For example, a recipe to produce one cake can include these BOM Items:

Material	Quantity	Unit
Caster sugar	200	g
Butter	200	g
Egg	4	each
Flour	200	g
Baking powder	1	tsp
Milk	30	ml

If the production order quantity increases, BOM item quantities scale accordingly. For example, a production order for 10 cakes results in:

Material	Quantity	Unit
Caster sugar	2000	g
Butter	2000	g
Egg	40	each
Flour	2000	g
Baking powder	10	tsp
Milk	300	ml
