Defination of the Item Status with the BOM Usage
By defining the BOM usage (Customizing for Bills of material, step Define BOM usages) in the SAP system, each company determines which item statuses can and cannot be set.
The item status covers a range of indicators that can be entered for BOM items, relevant to engineering, relevant to production, relevant to costing, and so on, for example.
These item status indicators control:
- Processing of the BOM in related application areas. The indicators define whether further processing is required, allowed, or not allowed. If processing in an application area is supported, you can maintain application-specific data for the items. For example, only items that are relevant to production are copied to a production order.
- The selection of items for BOM explosion

SAP PP : BOM Usage
Many companies have only one universally applicable BOM structure for all areas of their company. This structure usually takes the form of complete single-level BOMs, created in the design department, and used in both material management and the assembly workshop.
The standard SAP system allows you to maintain individual BOMs for any area of your company. These BOMs are maintained independently of each other and are assigned different internal BOM numbers.
