Overview
The BOM Attribute Definition Table stores attribute definitions and attribute effective dates from the fulfillment system. The attributes can define options, such as color or size. This table is not required for implementations, if required administrators will upload or migrate BOM structures to Oracle CPQ Data Tables using CPQ’s standard importing features. These Data Tables can then be linked to the corresponding BOM Mapping platform tables.
BOM item variable references associate the fulfillment system attributes with the applicable BOM items. For Example: In the following image BOM attributes “BSO3901” and “BSN3903” reference “BP3025” in the “BomItemVarName” field. This field references the “VariableName” field in the BOM Item Definition table, which establishes the association of BOM attributes to BOM items.
