List items

You can set up list items to speed up order processing, reduce errors and for order entry of repetitive sales orders. If you use list items, you only need to enter an order for the list item instead of for all the item's components. You can use product lists to define the composition of a product in terms of other products and/or lists. You must specify that an item is a list item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session .

Example

Computer A540 consists of

  • one hard disk no. 17,
  • one keyboard no. 18, and
  • one computer mouse no. 19.

If you enter the Computer A540 in a sales order, sales order lines are created for the list item's components. You can also create a list of possible alternative components for the list item. For example, you can offer monitors in different sizes or colors or an additional CD-ROM drive. If you enter the Computer A540 in a sales order, sales order lines are only created for the list item's components that you have marked on your list of product references.

You specify list items and components for combinations of list group and list type in the List Components (tcibd3100m000) session. A list item can belong to multiple lists. For details, see To set up lists.

The list type indicates how the list components are related to each other and how you can select the list components during order entry. Lists can be of the following types:
