  Key Concepts: 
  An indirectly assigned BOM (Bill of Materials) is a type of BOM used in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) that is not directly linked to a material master record. Instead, it is assigned to a functional location or equipment, and is used to describe the components and assemblies that make up the functional location or equipment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PM, an indirectly assigned BOM can be created by going to the “BOMs” tab in the Plant Maintenance module. From there, you can select “Create Indirectly Assigned BOM” and enter the details of the components and assemblies that make up the functional location or equipment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an indirectly assigned BOM, it is important to ensure that all of the components and assemblies are correctly listed and that all of the necessary information is included. This will help ensure that the BOM is accurate and up-to-date.
