Printing an Item Bill of Materials

A Bill of Materials (BOM) lists all the components of your assembly item, the assembly quantity, and the total quantity for each.

If one of the components of your assembly item is an assembly item, each item subcomponent appears. Each subcomponent displays the quantity needed for each subcomponent to complete the assembly.

For example, your assembly item contains four components—Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D. Item B is an assembly item made up of Widget 1 and Widget 2. Two of each widget are necessary for assembly of Item B. And two of Item B are needed to complete the parent assembly. The quantity needed to complete assembly Item B must be doubled to complete the parent assembly.

The following table displays the assembly bill of materials:

Parent Assembly
Name	Assembly Quantity	Total Quantity
Item A	1	1
Item B	2	2
Widget 1	2	4
Widget 2	2	4
Item C	5	5
Item D	1	1
