| Bill of Materials (BOM) | The BOM is a list of parts and materials needed to make a product, and, without it, manufacturing would be impossible. But the BOM is only part of the product equation. It shows “what” to make, not “how” to manufacture it, leaving the rest up to the BOP. |
| Bill of Process (BOP) | The BOP is comprised of a set of productive operations which together lead to the production of the complete product. The BOP may be accompanied by constraints regarding the possible orderings of the production operations, which however generally do not fix the sequence completely. This allows a "flexible production". |
| Business Partner Number (BPN) | A standardized and unique ID for every company in the Catena-X ecosystem. This is assigned by the operating company upon registration. |
