About Bill of Materials (BOM)
The Bill of Material (BOM) lists all parts and part parameters in the current assembly or assembly drawing. The BOM also comprises a breakdown and a summary of the report. The Breakdown section lists what is contained in the current assembly or part. The Summary section lists the total quantity of each part included in the assembly, and is the list of all the parts needed to build the assembly from the part level.
You can view a BOM in the following formats:
