Bill of Materials.
A bill of materials (BOM) lists the components and quantities that are used to
build this assembly or kit (item group). Costs of components are shown from the cost field of their
item definitions. The total BOM cost is used as the expected cost of the assembly and should be
copied to the cost in the assembly or kit’s definition.

Allows establishing different reorder points, maximum stock levels, and default
bins at each location where an item is stocked.
Units of Measure.
Differentiates between different sizes (such as base unit of pound and a
purchased unit of a 50-pound bag). For more on this feature, see the section on Units of Measure.

Creates variations of an item. Examples include size and color variants of the same
product. For more information on this feature, see Item Variants.
Boxes.
A future capability of SOS for EDI shipping that will enable an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) to

the stored quantity-on-hand number. Cached quantities are reestablished when the item list is
refreshed.
