Brief Process Description and Process Scope:

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. A bill of material contains essential master data for
integrated materials management and production control. This master data is used in Master Recipe and Process Orders to identify
which components are being used in manufacturing and in what quantity.

Business Process details:

BOMs are used in their different forms in various situations where a finished product is assembled from several component parts or
materials. Depending on the industry sector, they can also be called material list or lists of ingredients and so on. They contain
important basic data for numerous areas of a company, for example:
o MRP (Material requirements Planning)
o Material provisions for production
o Product costing
o Plant Maintenance

The data stored in bills of material serves as a basis for production planning activities such as:
o A design department can base its work on bills of material.
o A material requirements planning (MRP) department explodes bills of material on a certain date to calculate cost-effective order
quantities for materials.

o A work scheduling department uses bills of material as a basis for operation planning and production control.

o Product costing : To calculate the costs of materials required for a specific product
