Bill of Materials is what this is called (BOM)



Here is just one example.
http://www.ciras.iastate.edu/publications/CIRASNews/fall97/bom.html

They are lists of materials or items that are required for some purpose.
The exact column heading differ according to the purpose they serve
They always have a quantity, unit and description.  The other columns can vary according to what other specifications and identifiers are required for the individual usage.  Other frequent columns are revision level, manufacturer's part number, and internal part number, and a column indicating in what higher level assembly the part is to be used.

waterstreet's a faster typer than I am.  ws's link mentions engineering, but bom is used elsewhere too: a recipe for a pizza for example.  
Right.  Just about any business operation that requires specific materials or subcomponents.

A recipe contains the simplest example: Quantity, unit and description.

For example, 2 oz, olive oil.  28 is quantity, oz (ounces) is the unit and olive oil is the description.
