What is Multi-Level BOM?
A Multi-Level BOM shows the complete hierarchical breakdown of a finished product into sub-assemblies and raw materials across all levels of manufacturing.
Multi-Level BOM Structure
Level 0: Finished Product. Level 1: Sub-assemblies that go directly into the final product. Level 2: Components that make up the sub-assemblies. Level 3+: Raw materials. A car BOM has 30,000+ components across 8+ levels. ERPNext supports unlimited BOM depth.
BOM Explosion in ERPNext
The BOM Explosion report in ERPNext flattens a multi-level BOM into a single-level material list showing total raw material requirements for one unit of the finished product. The Production Plan uses this explosion to create procurement requirements for all levels simultaneously.
