# Create MTO BOM

## Purpose

Allows you to run a script to create a new BOM for a material in the ERP system.

## Setup

Upload the script for **Create BOM in ERP**.

For details about uploading and configuring Groovy scripts, read [Upload a Groovy script](/docs/upload-a-groovy-script).

## Binding variables

In addition to the [common binding variables](/docs/binding-variables), the following binding variables are available for this extension point.

| Variable name | Class | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| currentSalesItemNode | SalesItemNode | Sales item node related to the active object. Include this variable only when the active object is a sales item or a related object, such as item header price item. |
| salesItemsTree | SalesItemsTree | Represents the quote. Contains functions you can use to query and modify the quote and its line items. |

For details about the classes listed in this table, including available methods, fields, and method signatures, read the [Zilliant Groovy API reference](/main/docs/groovy-api-reference).

## Expected output

The script should return a material BOM ID created in the ERP as a string value.

If the script returns an empty value, a material BOM couldn't be created.

## Script execution

The script uploaded for this extension point is run automatically when a user creates a new material BOM in the **ERP Helpers** screen.
