A. Is the material type allowed in the BOM?

Which of the following questions do you have to answer before you start creating a bill of material (BOM)?

A. Is the material type allowed in the BOM?

B. Which base unit of measure does the material have?

C. What status does the BOM have?

D. In which storage location is the BOM required?

Answer: A,

Explanation:

Before you create a BOM, you need to check if the material type of the header material is allowed in the BOM usage. The material type defines the attributes and functions of a material, such as whether it is a finished product, a raw material, or a trading good. The BOM usage defines the purpose and application of a BOM, such as production, engineering, or sales. Only certain combinations of material types and BOM usages are valid in SAP S/4HANA. For example, you cannot create a production BOM for a material type that is not relevant for production planning.
