Hi,

BOM Categories:

1. Material BOM: A bill of material that you create for a material is known as a material BOM in the SAP. Material BOMs are mainly used to represent the structure of products manufactured within your company.

2. Sales order BOM: Order You work with order BOMs when you specially tailor the make-to-order production of your products to the requirements of your customers. In order to meet the customer requirements, sales order specific modifications to various assemblies are often required.

BOM Usage:

3. As far Costing is concerned: Many companies have only one universally applicable BOM structure for all areas of their company. So, usually BOMs maintained for Production usage are used for Costing purpose.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Sales order BOM is related to customer specific requirement for example if your in car sales, if customer given specification for change like Accessories i.e A/C, color and other related chages then for particular sales order you create BOM and enter those BOM items in sales order. Since only for particular sales order you are making changes as per customer specifications.
