Arthur WangWhat is a Bill of material?
—
A bill of material is a complete, formally structured list of the components that make up a product or assembly.
The list contains the object number of each component, together with the quantity and unit of measure.
The components are known as BOM items.
A bill of material can only refer to a quantity of at least 1 of an object.
DavidHi Everyone,
In simple words, a bill of materials is a recipe for manufacturing an item. Think of a recipe for your favorite food, it could be tomato soup or a salad. To make the food item ready to eat, you need a list of ingredients and instructions to be performed on the ingredients before it’s ready to eat.
A bill of materials (BOM) is a centralized source of information used to manufacture a product.
It is a list of the items needed to create a product as well as the instructions on how to assemble that product. Manufacturers that build products start the assembly process by creating a BOM.
I hope it solves your issue.
Regards,
David
