Overview of kit handling in Sales

In the sales order procedure, you can deliver components instead of main items. Components can be handled by component lines or by a sales BOM.

Note

Handling components using component lines has the following advantages:

  • Overall visibility of the entire structure of the sales order items and their components is provided.
  • Individual components can be shipped or directly delivered.
  • BOM changes can be processed during the order lead time.
  • Invoices can be created for completed sales order line items or for surplus.
Component lines

To handle components using component lines, specify the following parameters:

  • Select the Extended Kit Handling Implemented check box in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session.
  • Set the Component Handling field to Component Lines in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session and/or the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.

For more information, refer to Component handling - component lines.

Sales BOM

To handle components using a sales BOM, you can do one of the following:

  • Clear the Extended Kit Handling Implemented check box in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session. Therefore, components are always handled using a sales BOM.
  • Select the Extended Kit Handling Implemented check box, but set the Component Handling field to Sales BOM in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session and/or the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.

For more information, refer to Component handling - sales BOM.
