Selling items from list groups

You can specify the list group(s) used to find list items when you sell a list item to a sold-to business partner. You can indicate whether the business partner can buy from multiple list groups or only from a default list group.

Setting up list item data
  1. Specify a list item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session.

    In this session, you must:

    • Set the Item Type field to List.
    • Specify whether the item is a kit, an option, or a menu in the Item Type Specification field.
  2. Specify a list group in the List Groups (tcibd3101m000) session.
  3. Add one or more list item(s) and components to the list group in the List Components (tcibd3100m000) session.
  4. Specify list group data for the sold-to business partner in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session.

    In this session, you can:

    • Link a default list group to the business partner in the List Group field.
    • Select the Allow Alternative List Groups check box if the business partner is allowed to buy from multiple list groups and not only from the default list group.
Note

If you do not link a default list group to the sold-to-business partner in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session, LN retrieves the default list group from the List Group field in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session.

Business partner allows alternative list groups

If you want a business partner to choose items from multiple list groups, select the Allow Alternative List Groups check box in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session. When you enter a list item in the Item field of the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session or Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, a browser starts with a tree structure of the list item and linked list groups and components. To copy the required item to the sales order line or sales quotation line, select an item component and click Copy to Sales Order Line from the appropriate menu of the browser.

Business partner does not allow alternative list groups

If you want a business partner to choose items from only one list group, clear the Allow Alternative List Groups check box in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session. As a result, the business partner can only choose from the default list group as entered in the List Group field of the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session, or, if this field is empty, from the List Group field in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session. When you enter a list item in the Item field of the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session or Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session that occurs in the default list group that is linked to the business partner, the Items by List (tcibd3500m000) session starts. To copy the required item to the sales order line or sales quotation line, select an item component and click OK.

Note
  • If you copy a list item of the type kit to the sales order line, you can view the kit's items in the Sales Order Bills of Material (tdsls4532m000) session. You can start this session by selecting an order line in the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session and clicking Sales Order Line - BOM Components on the appropriate menu of the Lines tab.
  • If you copy a list item of the type Kit to the sales quotation line, you can view the kit's items in the Sales Quotation Bills of Material (tdsls1532s000) session. You can start this session by selecting a quotation line in the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session and clicking Sales Quotation Bills of Material on the appropriate menu.
