• Key Concepts: 
  Multiple BOM (Bill of Materials) is a feature in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows users to create multiple versions of a BOM for the same material. This feature is useful when different versions of the same product need to be produced, such as when different components are used in different production orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use multiple BOMs, users must first create a material master record for the product they wish to produce. Then, they can create multiple BOMs for the same material, each with its own set of components and quantities. When creating a production order, users can then select which version of the BOM they wish to use. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating multiple BOMs, it is important to ensure that all versions are kept up-to-date with the latest component information. This will ensure that the correct components are used in each production order.
