Material BOM - Create

A bill of materials is a complete, formally structured list of components that makes up a product or
assembly. The list contains the object number of each component, together with the quantity and unit of
measure. The components are known as BOM items.
The BOM is created in two primary levels: header and item.

The header level defines the usage and status of the BOM record.

The item level defines the list of component items.
