| Production orders for purchased items |  |
| If an item has the item type Purchased, you can create both purchase orders and production orders for the item. This can be useful if the item can be either made in-company or bought from an external supplier. The procedure is as follows: You can define an item as a purchased item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. On the last tab of that session, you can click Production Data. The Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session starts, and you can enter the production data. A purchased item can have a BOM and a routing, so you do not have to enter all materials and operations manually. If you do not define a BOM for a purchased item, ERP LN will list the finished product itself as the only material in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.
