Setting up BOM Groups 
A BOM group is used to group together material BOMs that describe one product or several similar products.
A BOM group can be:
- All variants of a variant BOM
- All alternatives of a multiple BOM
The material BOMs that are grouped together in a BOM group are stored under one internal number by the system.
Within the BOM group, each item has a unique item ID. You can enter the same item ID for logically related items, such as different versions of an item. See also: Identifying BOM Items.
Examples of BOM Groups
The following graphic shows all the variants of a variant BOM that are grouped together to form a BOM group.
