Production BOM:

The Production Bill of Materials represents a finished product (parent )made up of different inventory components (children). During the production process, you turn the components into the finished product.

Components in the production bill of materials are physical items (for example a screw, a wooden board, a measured quantity of lubricant or paint), or virtual objects (one work hour).

The user at the start of the month has a forecast sales quantity which is used to explode the process order BOM for a material and they get detailed raw material and packaging materials for that finished good and its component.
