• Key Concepts: 
  An Equipment Bill of Material (EBOM) is a list of components and assemblies that make up a piece of equipment in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM). It is used to track the parts and materials needed to build, maintain, and repair the equipment. The EBOM also contains information about the quantity and type of each component, as well as any special instructions for assembly or maintenance. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM, an EBOM can be created by entering the equipment number and then selecting the “Create Equipment Bill of Material” option. This will open a window where you can enter the components and assemblies that make up the equipment. Once all the components have been entered, you can save the EBOM. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an EBOM, it is important to ensure that all components are correctly entered and that any special instructions are included. This will help ensure that the equipment is built correctly and that any maintenance or repairs are done correctly. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The EBOM is closely related to the Functional Location Bill of Material (FLBOM), which is used to track the components and assemblies that make up a functional location in SAP PM. The FLBOM also contains information about the quantity and type of each component, as well as any special instructions for assembly or maintenance.
