In my example, there's multiple machines each with their own list of required parts to build them.

Is there a name or term for them like a recipe for machine or something?

  • "What you'll need" is common. Or, "Required". I suggest you incorporate your comment into your post, so that everyone is aware of the context. Jun 2, 2020 at 17:33

A Bill of Materials is defined in the Cambridge Dictionary as

noun

plural bills of materials (written abbreviation BOM)

a document showing a list of all the materials and parts that are needed to produce something:

The most expensive piece in the product's bill of materials is the touch-sensitive display.

BOM is an expression often used in industry, but may not be understood by all users of the app mentioned in the comments.
