A Bill of Material (BOM) is a formally structured list of the components that make up a product or assembly.
The list contains the object number (number assigned to a component to distinguish them from another) of each component, together with the quantity and the unit of measure.
The purpose of creating a BOM is to specify the material components that are needed to execute a production order.
BOM used for:-
Production – to plan provisions of component
materials
Purchasing – to determine purchase quantities
Costing – to calculate costs of materials
Planning – to determine lower level
requirements
You can use the transaction code CS01 or the following SAP menu path to create
