In ERP there is one BoM - the one you are making. In PLM, different disciplines have different views of the same product - different BoMs. The design BoM (by function), the planned BoM (that goes to ERP to be made), the Supported BoM (the way you maintain the product), plus you have the Built BoM (which ERP should have assuming it managed the build) and the Maintained BoM - the through life version of the product BoM, which may be organised like the design, or the build, or the as-supported or something else. PLM does a lot more than 'Release' the planned BoM to ERP to begin manufacture, it manages the multitudinous concurrent changes made to multiple views of over-lapping datasets (including all the abortive attempts to change that data that never get released). BUT, since PLM is not just an application (or suite of apps) some or all of this control can be manual, managed by other systems or fully within the core PLM application.
