| Multiple sales order lines with identical product configurations |  |
| Selling generic items If you enter a generic item on a sales order line, you must configure the item to determine the product variant. If you configure the generic item, ERP LN generates an item code and product variant for the configured item. Depending on the parameter settings described below, ERP LN can handle this in the following ways: Each sales order line gets a different item code, even if the product configuration is identical. If multiple lines in a sales order have the same generic item in the same product configuration, all sales order lines reuse the same generated item code with the same product variant identification code. Reuse item codes of a product configuration To allow reuse of item codes, use the following settings: In the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session, set the generic item's Order Policy field to To Order or Anonymous. In the in the Product Configuration Parameters (tipcf0100m000) session, specify the following settings: Select the Allow re-use of Configurations check box. If you use the settings described above, and you enter a generic item on a sales order line with the same product options as you used in an earlier sales order line, ERP LN reuses the configured item and product variant. Important! In the Generic Item - Settings for Data Generation (tipcf3101m000) session, make sure that two items with different options cannot result in the same item code. If that happens during item configuration, ERP LN ends the configuration process with an error message. Generate (project) structure for sales orders When you generate the project structure in the Generate (Project) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000) session, you must select the Create a Project per Sales Order check box.
