Bill of Materials - List
The Bill of Materials lists every material that goes into the item you currently have open — one row per position. Each row is one material, with the quantity needed, its unit of measure and the operation it is consumed at. The list always belongs to a single item: you reach it by opening that item first, from Bill of Materials in the header of the item detail page.
The title carries a version selector. An item under version control has one bill of materials per version, and the selector decides which one you are looking at.
Actions
One action is specific to this list; the rest of the tool bar is the standard one.
