      <AimSection>
         <Paragraph>Use this session to define the template data
		  for the Bill of Material (BOM) of an item. Sub-items of the generic item can be
		  either generic items or <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000366" role="glossary" Update="No">engineering modules</Link>. Based on this template,
		  an order-specific BOM is created when the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ProducVarian_td" role="glossary">product variant</Link> is created.</Paragraph>
      </AimSection>
      <GeneralSection>
         <Paragraph>Generic items can be both main item and sub-item, which
		  depends on their place in the BOM structure. Through the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu, you can
		  zoom to a lower level, that is, a level in which the selected sub item is main
		  item. You can only zoom to a higher level if you first zoomed to a lower level.
		  If you did not first zoom to a lower level, you cannot zoom to a higher level,
		  because the main item can occur more than once as a sub-item in the BOM, in
		  which case it is unclear to which occurrence you want to zoom. Therefore, the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/apl/tiapl2510m000#level.up" role="command">Level Up</GUIRef> command only serves as Go Back function.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>If you select an engineering module, you can start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/apl/tiapl2520m000" role="session">Assembly BOM and Operations (tiapl2520m000)</GUIRef> session from the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu.</Paragraph>
