PLM parent item (see also child item)

In a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, a parent item refers to a product or component that is composed of one or more child items.

A parent item is typically the top-level item in a product's bill of materials (BOM) and represents the entire product or assembly. The parent item contains information about the product, such as its name, description, and part number. It also contains a list of its child items, which are the individual components that make up the product.

For example, a car can be considered as a parent item and its engine, transmission, wheels, etc. can be considered as the child items.
