Bill of Quantities (BoQ) is the MEGABAU 365 feature for building, calculating and selling structured lists of construction services and materials on a sales quote or order. Construction Base extends the BoQ sales process with an overview of the production orders and item ledger entries generated from a BoQ sales order, and adds the Basket item picker to the BoQ calculation lines.
Production orders created from a BoQ sales order are described in more detail in Manufacturing Extensions.
