 OC WoodTrend produce decorative wooden doors and cabinets.

 Each of these items is manufactured from several component items and
uses resources to produce them.
 The list of items and resources needed to produce the finished product
is recorded in the Bill of Materials.
 For complex manufacturing, OC WoodTrend defines sequenced stages
with date dependencies.
 In addition, OC WoodTrend sells different kits of build-it-yourself
furniture. These kits are composed of precut wooden plates, screws,
and hinges. Each kit has a Bill of Materials, even though it is not used in
the manufacturing process.

Summary

Here are some key points:

 A production bill of materials is a list of items and (possibly) resources that are
consumed in the production process.
 A routed production BOM is composed of sequenced process stages.
 A BOM may have several levels; in this case, one or more of the item components is
also a BOM.
 The Bill of Materials Component Management window allows you to make changes to
multiple BOMs simultaneously.
 In addition to the production BOM, there are three other types of bills of materials that
are available for use in marketing documents: sales, assembly, and template BOMs.
