• Key Concepts: 
  Parent 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 top-level item in the BOM hierarchy and is used to define the components that make up the parent item. The parent item can be a finished product, semi-finished product, or raw material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SBO, parent items are used to define the components that make up a finished product. To create a parent item, you must first create a bill of materials (BOM) and then add the components that make up the parent item. Once all of the components have been added, you can then assign them to the parent item. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a BOM for a parent item, it is important to ensure that all of the components are correctly assigned to the parent item. This will ensure that all of the components are accounted for when creating the finished product. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the BOM as this can affect the production process.
