Create a Material BOM
A BILL OF MATERIALS or BOM, as it
is called in SAP, is a useful tool as it allows
the maintenance planner to easily view the
materials associated with a specific piece of
equipment. This saves time and money.
In SAP, Predictive Maintenence (PM)

assemblies are not individual objects, but
logical elements that separate technical objects into more clearly defined units in plant
maintenance. For example, an automobile can
be a technical object, with the engine, gearbox, and chassis the maintenance assemblies.

1. Transaction CS01 is used to create a bill of materials.
