					<ListItem>SSA ERP creates a PCS project for the item but no customized BOM and routing. The PCS project is mainly used for pegging purposes, for example, to track down the costs for the customized item. Note that in case of a generic item, SSA ERP creates a PCS project, customized BOM, and customized routing for the generic part of the item structure. However, for (lower level) parts of the item structure with a production BOM, the items become customized, but no customized BOM and routing are generated.</ListItem>
