  BOM status is a feature of SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to track the status of a bill of materials (BOM). It is used to indicate whether a BOM is active, inactive, or obsolete. The BOM status can be changed manually or automatically based on certain criteria. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the BOM status feature, users must first create a BOM in the SAP system. Once the BOM is created, users can assign a status to it. The available statuses are active, inactive, and obsolete. The status can be changed manually or automatically based on certain criteria such as the expiration date of the BOM or the availability of components.
