Bill of Materials Import
A Bill of Materials (BOM) lists the quantities of raw materials, assemblies, sub-components, and parts needed to manufacture a product. A BOM can be used to communicate between manufacturing partners, multiple facilities within the organization, or with a single manufacturing plant.
The BOM import record is available when the Advanced Bill of Materials feature is enabled on the Items & Inventory subtab at Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features.
In the user interface, you can access the bills of material record at Lists > Supply Chain > Bills of Materials. To learn more, see Advanced Bill of Materials.
The member components needed for assembly items are identified in the Bill of Materials (BOM) but required components may change over time. These changing requirements can be documented in Bill of Materials Revision record which is part of the BOM. To learn more, see Creating BOM Revisions.
