Material BOM is a BOM with Reference to a Material

A bill of material that can be create for a material is known as a material BOM in the SAP System.

 

To create a material master in the SAP System, you can use the following functions:

 

Material > Create > Immediately

For this material, the SAP system creates a material master immediately, so that you can also create a BOM for it.
 

Material > Create > Schedule

For this material, the SAP system only generates a change document. This is why BOM cannot be created for the material at first.

Only when you activate the scheduled material does the SAP system create a material master record. Then you can create a BOM for it.

 

The material master record contains descriptive data such as the size, dimension, and weight of the material, and control data such as the material type and the industry sector. In addition to this user-maintained data, the material master record also contains data that is updated by the system, such as stocks.

Material BOMs are mainly used to represent the structure of products manufactured within your company. You can enter both materials and documents as components of this BOM. A document info record must exist in your SAP System for each document you enter.
