| # Component handling - sales BOM If you handle components using a sales BOM, you can copy a bill of material (BOM) to the lines of a sales order in the Copy Bill of Material to Sales Order (tdsls4812s000) session. Procedure Step 1. Specify the manufactured item, the quantity ordered, and the Phantom Levels to Skip and start the process. Step 2. A sales order line is added for each position in the bill of material that has no underlying components. Step 3. Only the BOM components are copied for which the order date is between the effective date and the expiry date of the component. The item version is also taken into account. Note You can view the sales order line BOM components in the Sales Order Line - BOM Components (tdsls4532m000) session. This diagram shows a bill of material: If you copy the BOM for 4 units of item A, 6 sales order lines will be added to the order: 1 order line with 8 units of item B 1 order line with 8 units of item G 1 order line with 12 units of item H 1 order line with 12 units of item D 1 order line with 4 units of item E 1 order line with 4 units of item F After copying, you can still modify order lines. Prices and discounts are automatically determined. Note Instead of copying the BOM to the order line, you can also create a single order line for main item A, with a quantity of 4. In case of issue from inventory, the components (B, C, D, E, and F) will be allocated and issued. A disadvantage of this method is that you cannot deviate from the BOM data. Components of (phantom) items cannot be shipped or delivered separately. Related topics Overview of kit handling in Sales Skipping phantom levels |
