• Key Concepts: 
  A material BOM (Bill of Materials) is a list of components that make up a finished product in SAP PP-BD (Production Planning - Basic Data). It is used to define the structure of a product and the quantity of each component required to produce it. The material BOM also contains information about the production process, such as the sequence of operations and the routing for each component.

  In SAP PP-BD, material BOMs are created and maintained in the Bill of Materials (BOM) view. This view contains all the necessary information about the components and their quantities, as well as the production process. The material BOM can be used to plan production, calculate costs, and track inventory levels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a material BOM, it is important to ensure that all components are correctly specified and that the quantities are accurate. It is also important to keep the material BOM up-to-date, as changes in components or production processes can affect the cost and quality of the finished product.
