This would be very difficult data to present "live", but a report would be a good option, as it can be generated offline and then presented to the user.

This sort of "on demand" data would be perfect for a custom report or plugin. I do not think there is much I would want to add to the API / default user interface here.
Please verify that this feature request has NOT been suggested before.
Problem statement
Having complex, deep multi-level BOMs creates somewhat of an issue with production planning. If several of a given BOM's child BOMs use the same part, the toplevel BOM can't paint a picture of how many of itself you can build. As when you start creating Build Orders, and allocate stock, the stock that the top-level BOM thought it could use is eaten by its children.
This also applies to looking at any given BOM with child BOMs. The "Can build" field is based on the completed stock of the child, not how many of the child you can build. So, if BOM A has a line that is BOM B, and you have 0 of BOM B in stock, then BOM A claims you can build zero of BOM A. However, perhaps you actually have the stock to build 10 of BOM B. So you could actually make more than 0 of BOM A.
This is very difficult to discern as the structure works today.
