BOM Usage

The bill of material usage allow you to create separate BOMs for the various areas within the company, for example, engineering or production.
The engineering BOM combines all components of the product from the engineering point of view and contains all technical data.
The production BOM is set up from the manufacturing points of view. For example, process data is required for assembly.
When creating BOMs with different usages for one material, the system saves each BOM with a separate internal number for each usage.

BOM Categories

Material BOM’s are used in SCM to represent the structure of products that are manufactured
Order BOWs are used to produce a product for a specific sales order

This type of product is often represented by alternative BOMs (alternatives).
These alternative BOMs differ only slightly from one another, usually in terms of the component quantity.
The field BOM group can also be used as an external BOM number.
All alternatives for a multiple BOM are saved under one internal BOM number.
You can assign one name to all the alternatives in a multiple BOM by entering a BOM group in the BOM header.
You can create up to 99 alternative bombs for the same material and plant combination.
