| Use up and alternative materials and customized items |  |
| Important! This functionality is available only if the Use Up and Alternative Materials check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected. Manual definition If you define a customized BOM for a customized item, you can add both project items and standard items as use-up material or as alternative material for a BOM component. In other words, in the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session, you can leave the project segment empty, or enter a project code. The alternative material's project segment must be empty or equal to the main item's project segment. Automatic creation of customized BOM In the following sessions, ERP LN can create a customized project structure: Generate (Project) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000) Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)- if the Customize BOM Line automatically in the Project Control Parameters (tipcs0100m000) is selected and you insert a component with ( order policy = To Order ) Generate (Project) Structure for Product Variant (tipcs2220m000) Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000) Copy Customized Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2231m000) If ERP LN creates a customized project structure, ERP LN can also copy any use-up material and alternative material to the customized BOM's use-up and alternative materials, depending on the setting of the Use Up Material check box and the Alternative Material check box. The copied use-up materials and alternative materials always have an empty project segment, except in the following situation. If you copy a customized product structure to another customized product structure with the same project code (and a different item code), ERP LN also copies the project segments of the use-up materials and alternative materials.
