Oracle CPQ - BOM Mapping Implementation

This is about an implementation guide for the Bill of Materials (BOM) Mapping feature within Oracle CPQ Cloud. It's designed for administrators to understand how to import, configure, and use BOMs to manage product structures within CPQ Cloud. The guide first provides an overview of BOM mapping, explaining how it bridges the gap between CPQ's sales-oriented product view and the manufacturing-oriented view used in fulfillment systems. It then details the process of capturing BOM definitions, activating BOM tables, and mapping data tables to CPQ BOM platform tables. The guide focuses on the configuration of BOM mapping rules, emphasizing the use of simple table-based rules, advanced BML-based rules, or a combination of both. Finally, the document dives into the technical details of the BOM instance, a JSON object representing the BOM hierarchy stored in a quote, and provides examples of BML functions and REST APIs used for BOM mapping.
