Use

The bill of material (BOM) of a configurable material contains all the components that are required to manufacture the material. The BOM contains components that are only used in specific variants (variant parts), as well as components that are used in all variants (non-variable parts).

This is why BOMs for configurable materials are known as super BOMs.

Features

See Selection Conditions and Selection Conditions for a BOM Item and Operation
