Bill of Materials

The Item Bill of Materials page lists every BoM defined for the items in your company. A Bill of Materials describes the components and quantities required to produce a finished or semi-finished item. From this list you can search, filter, sort, and open any BoM to review its full structure.

Read-only access: When opened from the Beas Manufacturing extension inside the SAP Web Client (item detail page), this list is read-only — actions like Create or Delete are not available in that context.

Open the Bill of Materials from SAP Web Client > Advanced Production > Bill of Materials

The following controls are available (where applicable) with the Beas Web Client.

Navigation bar

When viewing a material or operation detail page, you can navigate between positions without returning to the list view. A navigation toolbar with four arrow buttons is available at the top of the page:

Button	Icon	Action
First		Jump to the first position in the list.
Previous		Move to the previous position.
Next		Move to the next position.
Last		Jump to the last position in the list.

A Refresh button is also available to reload the current position's data from the server without navigating away.

The navigation order follows the position ordering from the list view (respecting any active sort). Navigating between positions updates the URL, breadcrumb, header, and all form sections in place. Navigation wraps around: pressing Next on the last position moves to the first, and vice versa.

Quick Review Workflow: Use the navigation arrows to quickly review all materials or operations in sequence. This is particularly useful during BoM audits or routing reviews, where you need to inspect each position without repeatedly returning to the list.

Sorting, freezing usability
You can sort the tables by ascending or descending values.
"Freeze column" function: Click on a column title to access the function. You can block a column from getting scrolled while browsing left-right in the results. When this is active, the column stays visible, while others get scrolled. You can also freeze multiple columns counting from the first one. To deactivate the function, click the same column and select "Unfreeze".

Grid Tool bar

The grid toolbar above the results table provides several actions for working with the data:

You can also click any column header directly to sort by that column, or drag a column header to the grouping area to group by that column.

Action buttons appear only when applicable for a column. You can access them by clicking on the three dots left of the relevant field:

Click any row's navigation arrow on the right to open the BoM. The list itself is the entry point; opening a row navigates you to the BoM detail.

Tips

Pre-filtered context: When launched from an item in the SAP Web Client, the list is automatically filtered to that item's BoMs. Clear the search to widen the view.

Pagination: The grid loads results in pages — use the toolbar pager controls to move through large result sets.

Export: Use the toolbar's export action to download the visible list as CSV or Excel.
