The BOM or Bill of Materials is a list of Inventory items that can be used to repair or maintain the Equipment. Each Equipment Entry has a bill of materials page and each Inventory Detail Entry has a related equipment section. Filling either of one of these will fill the other.
Some of the benefits of having a complete BOM are being able to add parts to WO from the Bill of materials, being able to search parts by equipment and searching equipment by related Parts.
