Hi Sarfaraz: -

Quantity to which all component quantities in a BOM relate, is know as base quantity.

E.g.

If you are creating a BOM or Recipe or Routing for Mfg of Material A for quantity 100

Then you will be in need of Componant Z in 100 qnty, Componant Y in 50qnty (defined in BOM.

Three machine operators for operation 0010 (Defined in Routine, Recipe etc...)

So the STD quantity on which you are calculating your Utility,Resources, and Component (Material) calculation is concerned as Base quantity.
