The Bill of Materials detail page is where you view, create and edit a single material line — one component consumed when the item is produced. Each line records which material is used, how much of it goes in, where it is taken from, the validity period and a range of production options. The page belongs to a manufactured item: you always open it from inside that item, never on its own.
Accessing the view:
1. Open the Bill of Materials from SAP Web Client > Advanced Production > Bill of Materials > Open a BoM position
2. Click the "+" icon in the tool bar of the Bill of Materials screen to open the "Create Material" (BoM Detail) screen.

The Material Detail View is a read-only Object Page screen that displays all information about a single BoM position. It follows the SAP Fiori Object Page pattern: a header area with key facets at the top, followed by form sections organized into clearly labeled tabs.
The Material Detail View displays all information about a single material position within an item's Bill of Materials. It follows the SAP Fiori Object Page pattern with a header area and multiple form sections organized into clearly labeled groups.
Header
The header provides an at-a-glance summary of the material position:
•Avatar — Shows the assigned icon (SAP icon, Beas icon, or custom image). Falls back to a default inventory icon if none is assigned.
•Title — The Material Code (e.g., M0000001).
•Subtitle — The material description (e.g., "Material 1").
The header also displays key facets for quick reference:

Breadcrumb Trail
The breadcrumb trail at the top of the page shows your current location within the navigation hierarchy. It provides clickable links to navigate back to any parent level:
Items › {ItemCode} › Bill of Materials › {Position}
Example: Items › FP0001 › Bill of Materials › 20
Items › {ItemCode} › Operations › {Position}
Example: Items › FP0001 › Operations › 12
Clicking Items returns to the Items list. Clicking the item code returns to that item's detail view. Clicking Bill of Materials or Operations returns to the respective list/grid view. The last breadcrumb segment (the position number) represents the current page and is not clickable.
