Mass addition of bill of material items
Application component: Fiori UI for Material BOM
App type: Transactional
Line of business: R&D and Product Management
Leading industry: Cross Industry
Solution capability: Integrated Product Development (S/4)|Product Development Foundation (S/4)
Description:  With this app, you can add a BOM item to several BOM headers at a time, so that you can save time and effort doing similar operations across many BOM headers. The app allows you to process the add operation in the background (asynchronous) or run it now (synchornous) mode to carry out the changes. You're given the flexibility to either simulate the process to view the changes before committing to the database or directly execute the process to commit the changes to the database.Note You require additional license to use this app. 
An application to simulate and execute mass addition of the Bill of material items
Key features:    Use the search field criteria to filter the BOM headers efficiently.   Add a BOM item to selected BOM headers or all the BOM headers existing in the database.   Specify the item category along with mandatory item attributes.   Add or remove multiple optional item attributes.   Specify the mode of processing as follows:  Run Job in Background Select the option if you want to process the operation as a background job. You're requested to specify a short description for a background job. You can use the short description to search for the background job in the Monitor Mass Maintenance of Bills of Material app and to check for the processing status and other details.   Run now Select the option if you want to process the operation now.   To know more about what the system does based on your selection, see Mode of Processing and Processing Type.   To view the operation details or the job log details of the scheduled background job, you can navigate to the Monitor Mass Maintenance of Bills of Material app.   View the processing result of the operation performed. The app displays the processing result with color coding and with the number of BOM headers changed and unchanged.   Repeat the process of re-simulation and re-execution if there are any errors or any changes made to the BOM item during the add operation.   
Business roles: Administrator - Recipe Development| BOM Engineer| BOM Engineer - Customer Order| Development Manager - Discrete Industries| Design Engineer| Master Data Specialist - Maintenance Management
BOM Engineer - Customer Order : 
Maintains bills of material and component configurations for customer orders.  Aligns with the sales and product engineering teams until the handover to manufacturing.

Development Manager - Discrete Industries: (is an add-on role to the Development Manager)
Manages a team of design enegineers and analyzes changes and their impact in line with given targets.

BOM Engineer : 
Creates bills of material and consistent overall product model, drives changes across organizations, and is responsible for the change process until handover to manufacturing. Is typically a member of the R&D group of the company.

Design Engineer : 
Creates product designs, i.e. functional specifications, CAD drawings, etc. Is typically a member of the R&D group of the company and is measured by the quality and innovation of his outputs in line with given design targets.

Administrator - Recipe Development : 
Performs special, rarely occuring maintenance tasks related to Recipe Development, like Pure Substances, Allergens etc. and ensures consistency of the database.

Master Data Specialist - Maintenance Management :
