Bill of Materials (BoM) in TallyPrime Accounting Software

A Bill of Materials is a list of constituent items along with quantity details that can be allotted for the manufacture of a  certain product, by-product or likewise. This facilitates immediate reduction in stock of the item automatically. This process of listing the items that make up another item is made possible in Tally by enabling the Bill of Materials Facility.
