		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>The parameters in this session are used in <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/tibom" role="manual">Bill of Material (BOM)</Link> module. However, the parameters also affect sessions in other modules. For example, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0100m000#tibom000.buom" role="formfield">BOM Unit of Measure</GUIRef> field is also used in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/tiedm" role="manual">Engineering Data Management (EDM)</Link> module to calculate net quantities in an engineering bill of material.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0100m000" role="session">Bill of Material Parameters (tibom0100m000)</GUIRef> overview session contains:</Paragraph>
			<List><ListItem>A history list of parameter sets and their effective dates.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The current parameter set, at the top of the list (without an effective date).</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>To view historical settings, double-click one of the historical parameter sets.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>To view or change the current parameter settings, double-click the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0100m000" role="session">Bill of Material Parameters (tibom0100m000)</GUIRef> details session starts.</Paragraph>
			<List><ListIntro>If you make the required changes and save the new parameter set, SSA ERP performs the following actions:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>Adds the new set to the history list.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Updates the current set (at the top of the list).</ListItem>

			<FuncDesc>The value of this field determines how you maintain or view sessions that concern BOM lines and materials, for example, the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000" role="session">Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)</Link> session, and the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/cst/ticst1501m000" role="session">Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst1501m000)</Link> details session. You can view those sessions by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/bom.mrbo#item" role="enum">Item</GUIRef> or by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/bom.mrbo#oper" role="enum">Operation</GUIRef>.</FuncDesc>
			<SimpleSection><Paragraph>In practice, you can define a bill of material by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/bom.mrbo#oper" role="enum">Operation</GUIRef> for items with a longer lead time. Thus, you prevent components from being stocked too early, either in the warehouse or on the shop floor.</Paragraph>
