Remarks

The BOM Window retrieves the BOM tree for the passed -Entity by calling the method Get-BomRows recursively.
Such root elements must provide at least entity properties as those provided by powerVault File or Item objects.
However also custom BOM properties, such as those available on powerVault FileBomRows and ItemBomRows, can be passed and displayed as columns.

In order to customize the Check- and Transfer operations for BOMs and Items, the following functions are required additionally and must be implemented with custom logic:
