In which master data objects can you define the production order default storage location for a material component?

The production order default storage location for a material component is defined in the Bill of Materials (BOM), specifically in the item for the material. This is because the BOM acts as the comprehensive recipe for a product, detailing the components required for production. Within each item entry of the BOM, there are specific fields that allow for the specification of details including storage location, which dictates where the required components will be sourced from during the production process. This ensures that when a production order is created, the system automatically knows from which storage location to pull the components based on the settings defined in the BOM.

In contrast to this, while routing and work centers do interact with production processes, they are more focused on the sequence of operations and resource utilization rather than the specifics of component storage locations. The material master of the finished product primarily holds information related to the finished goods rather than individual component details.
