# BOM Import via SFTP

> Build Bills of Materials in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP — one row per parent/child component, with quantity and assemble-on-pick options.

You can build Bills of Materials (BOMs) in bulk by uploading a CSV via SFTP. Each row links a child component to its parent product, so a multi-component BOM spans several rows that share the same parent.

<Tip>**Template:** <a href="/images/templates/standard_product_bom_import.csv" download>standard\_product\_bom\_import.csv</a> — download it, fill in your data, and upload it via SFTP.</Tip>

| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `parent_product_code` | The finished parent product the BOM builds                                                                                             |
| `child_product_code`  | A component product that goes into the parent                                                                                          |
| `quantity`            | How many of the child are required                                                                                                     |

| `assemble_on_pick`    | `TRUE` to assemble the kit during picking (see [Create a Kit](/knowledgebase/advanced/create-a-kit)); `FALSE` for works-order assembly |
