Effectively, it is possible to exclude the supplying

      <Paragraph>In this example, based on the generic product structure, when
		you configure item A, either item A1 or item A2 can become part of the product
		structure for item A. It is not possible to include both, item A1 and item A2,
		within a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ProducVarian_td" role="glossary">product variant</Link> for item A. This implies that either
		supply line S1 (with all its sub-level supply lines) or supply line S2 (with
		all its sub-level supply lines) can become part of the assembly order data for
		the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000441" role="glossary">configured item</Link> A.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For the assembly of item B or item X, no supply line selection
		is required as their generic product structure indicates a fixed assembly line
		model. Therefore, independent of the configuration of item B or item X, all
		assembly lines of the assembly structure are included and utilized for
		production of item B or item X.</Paragraph>

      <Paragraph>The appropriate supply line is selected by the system, based on
