            <Paragraph>Delivery of incomplete <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri_ti" role="glossary"
                     Update="No">bills of material (BOM)</Link> or <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000247" role="glossary" Update="No">kits</Link>. This is useful if, for example, part of the ordered
			 components are unavailable due to inventory shortages, but the customer needs
			 what is available at short notice.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The remainder can be delivered later, from inventory or
			 through <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#DirectDelive_td" role="glossary">direct deliveries</Link> if that is the fastest way to serve
			 the customer. On the sales order line, you can switch from delivery from
			 inventory to direct delivery. You can use shipping constraints to control
			 partial deliveries. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000496" role="manual">Kit handling support and shipping structure setup</Link>.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>To allow delivery of incomplete kits or BOMs, the structure
			 of sales orders and related warehousing orders is adjusted. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000497" role="manual">Sales and warehousing order structure</Link>.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>Modifications to BOM or kit structures even after they are
			 put on sales orders - the last stage you can implement changes is at confirm
			 shipment. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/td/sls/tdsls4263m000" role="session">Process BOM changes to Sales Order (tdsls4263m000)</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000501" role="manual">How changes in component lines affect outbound order lines and shipment lines</Link>.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>Flexible shipping structure setup. On the warehousing order
			 type, you can specify how <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000022" role="glossary" Update="No">loads</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000021" role="glossary" Update="No">shipments</Link> are structured to ship components by <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000486" role="glossary">subkit</Link>. In addition, a graphical user interface allows
			 you to manually adjust the shipping structure generated by ERP Enterprise, optionally using <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000485" role="glossary" Update="No">shipping containers</Link> if the required parameter is set. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000497" role="manual">Sales and warehousing order structure</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000500" role="manual">Shipping structures</Link>.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The warehouse order type settings controlling load and
			 shipment structures and the parameter setting allowing the use of shipping
			 containers support kit handling initiated in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef> module, but they
			 are not required. If not used, however, the shipping structure may not
			 adequately reflect the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000489" role="glossary" Update="No">topkit</Link>- <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000486" role="glossary" Update="No">subkit</Link>- component structure initiated in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef> module.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>These settings are also available if kit handling is not
			 implemented in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/sls" role="module">Sales Control</GUIRef> module.</Paragraph>
