E)  Functional Location BOM.
.

Answers: A, B, C, D, E

All of the above.

(T-code CS71) WBS BOM or "Work Breakdown Structure " BOM is created with the Project System WBS as the Header of the BOM. The Production Lot is usually an Engineering to Order scenario for a Project and the result is Goods Receipt of the MTO Production Order into special stock with WBS identifier.

Order BOM or "Sales Order BOM" is also a case of MTO scenario with the Sales Order + Order line item as the Header of the BOM. This can result from the "MTO" Manufacturing Strategy in the MRP 3 data view in the Material Master resulting in the Sales Order item tagged with a specific Requirement Type which specifies it to be a MTO Sales Order. 

MRP run recognizes both the WBS BOM and Order BOM as both the header also has a Material Master (other than WBS and Sales Order number).

(T-code CV11) Document Structure comes with the Header and BOM Items all with Document numbers from the DMS system. The purpose is merely to bring related Documents into a Group as a Hierarchy structure. 

(T-code IB11) Functional Location BOM and (T-code IB01) Equipment BOM is used in PM (Plant Maintenance) and CS (Customer Service) with the Header being PM/CS Functional Location or Equipment Respectively. There are no Material Master in the Header BOM, although the BOM items can be Material Masters just like a standard Material BOM or WBS BOM or Order BOM. Standard MRP run as at ECC6 EhP6 does not recognized BOM explosion in the MRP run processing.
