| # To skip phantom levels If you copy bill of material (BOM) components to a sales order, sales quotation, or purchase order, you can define how phantoms must be copied. The following parameters determine the default number of bill of material (BOM) levels that are summarized when you use phantoms: Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session. Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped in the Purchase Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session. These parameters provide default values to the same fields in the following sessions: Copy BOM Components to Sales Quotation (tdsls1812s000) Copy BOM Components to Order (tdpur4812s000) Copy Bill of Material to Sales Order (tdsls4812s000), provided that Component Handling for the order type is set to Sales BOM in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session. Important! If Component Handling is set to Component Lines for the order type, the Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped field in the Copy Bill of Material to Sales Order (tdsls4812s000) session is set to one and disabled. The Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped value in these sessions determines how a bill of material (BOM) is copied to the lines of sales order, sales quotation, or purchase order. Example- Phantom levels to be skipped = 1 In this example, 4 order lines and 2 component lines are generated. The first BOM level, which only contains phantoms, is skipped. For the phantom on the second level, an order line is generated. Example- Phantom levels to be skipped = 2 In this example, 5 order lines are generated. The phantoms on the first and second BOM level are skipped. Note This example is applicable only for sales order types with Component Handling set to Sales BOM in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session. To view components You can view components in the following sessions: Purchase order Purchase Order Planned Materials (tdpur4532m000) Sales quotation Sales Quotation Line - BOM Components (tdsls1532s000) Sales order If Component Handling is set to Sales BOM, components can be viewed in the Sales Order Line - BOM Components (tdsls4532m000) session. If Component Handling is set to Component Lines, components can be viewed in the Sales Order Lines - Components (tdsls4601m000) session. Note If Component Handling is set to Component Lines and, in the first example, the third level would also contain a phantom with components on the fourth level, the third level phantom and the fourth level components are written to the Sales Order Lines - Components (tdsls4601m000) session. Therefore, these phantoms are handled as single components. Related topics Overview of kit handling in Order Management |
