      <Paragraph>If you enter a <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#GeneriItem_ti" role="glossary">generic item</Link> on a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#SlsOrderLns_td" role="glossary">sales order line</Link>, you must configure the item to determine the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ProducVarian_td" role="glossary">product variant</Link>. If you configure the generic item, LN generates an item
		code and product variant for the configured item.</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>Depending on the parameter settings described below, LN can handle this in

         <ListItem>Each sales order line gets a different item code, even if the

         <ListItem>If multiple lines in a sales order have the same generic item

      <Paragraph>To allow reuse of item codes, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf0100m000" role="session">Product Configuration Parameters (tipcf0100m000)</GUIRef> session, select the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/pcf/tipcf0100m000#tipcf000.rupv" role="formfield">Allow re-use of Configurations</Link> check box.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you enter a generic item on a sales order line with the same
		product options as you used in an earlier sales order line, LN reuses the
		configured item and product variant.</Paragraph>
