Configurable BOM

Configurable BOM (also called the 150% BOM or super-BOM) is a single, parameterized product structure that contains every option, variant, and feature that could appear in a product family, plus the configuration rules that resolve a specific customer order into a single 100% buildable BOM.

What it covers

• Option, variant, and feature classes organized as choosable dimensions.
• Configuration rules — inclusion, exclusion, and dependency constraints across options.
• Effectivity by configuration — components valid only when certain options are chosen.
• Resolution to a 100% BOM at order entry, often via a Variant Configurator.
• Mass-customization patterns — automotive, machinery, and configure-to-order electronics.

Relationships (see sidebar)

• Part of the MBOM vs EBOM BOM-family stack.
• Supports BOM Management and Product Portfolio Planning.
• Implemented by Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, and SAP PLM (LO-VC).
