Bus/Financial - Management / warehousing facilities
French term or phrase: nomenclature
My question is , is (nomenclature) more suitable than (bill of materials )? concerning items in warehousing facilities Please find herein my translation; if you have any suggestions, you are more than welcome.

La nomenclature est une représentation hiérarchique des composants d’un article. La liaison entre l’article composé et ses composants s’appelle lien de nomenclature. Dans une représentation arborescente, chaque composant est accompagné d’un coefficient. Ce dernier indique le nombre d’unités de ce composant dans l’article composé.

Nomenclature is a hierarchical presentation of product’s component, the link between the compound item, and it’s components, is called nomenclature link. In a tree representation, each component is followed by a coefficient. This indicates the number of units of this component in the compound item.

Murphy adds that the same could be said of Boston Rack’s food and beverage business segment, where its employees’ years of experience working for a number of food and beverage companies gives them a leg up on competitors. This includes a keen awareness of each industry’s particular nomenclature.

For example, says John Chauncey, director of the food and beverage division for Boston Rack, in the beverage industry a “bib” is the plastic bag that holds the soda in a dispensing machine (Bag in a Box or bib), so when a client is talking about the number of bibs they need, Chauncey and his employees know what they are talking about and also understand the unique storage and stacking needs these items might have.

Bill of Materials


Explanation:
I would go with Bill of Materials here given the warehousing context. Nomenclature would not be wrong but has a wider meaning.

1. component diagram 2. component-product (link)


Explanation:
I agree with Catharine - "nomenclature" does not ring true in English in this context. The clue is in the term "représentation arborescente", i.e. a diagramatic representation, with each component given a part number, rather than just a list. Component (or parts) diagram works for the first itteration but not the second. The hyphenated component-product or part-product (link) expresses the direct relationship between the two even more clearly than the Fench version.
For a warehouse (rather than construction related), list I would opt for parts list or schedule of components rather then "bill of materials".
