• Key Concepts: 
  Base item is a term used in SAP Business One (SBO) to refer to the main item in a bill of materials (BOM). It is the item that is used to create the BOM and is the parent item of all the components that make up the BOM. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SBO, base items are used to create BOMs. To create a BOM, you must first create a base item and then add components to it. The components can be either raw materials or finished goods. Once all the components have been added, you can then save the BOM and use it for production. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a BOM, it is important to ensure that all components are correctly linked to the base item. This will ensure that all components are correctly accounted for when producing the finished product. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the BOM as this can affect production costs and lead times.
