• Key Concepts: 
  A Secondary BOM (Bill of Materials) is a type of BOM used in the Production Planning and Control (PP) component of SAP. It is used to define the components and sub-components of a product or assembly. It is also used to define the quantity of each component that is required for the production of the product or assembly. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Secondary BOM can be created in the PP component of SAP by entering the components and sub-components of a product or assembly, as well as the quantity of each component that is required for production. The Secondary BOM can then be used to plan and control production processes, such as material requirements planning (MRP) and capacity requirements planning (CRP). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Secondary BOM, it is important to ensure that all components and sub-components are accurately entered, as well as the correct quantity of each component. This will ensure that production processes are planned and controlled correctly.
