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 is provided on the complete structure of the sales order items and their components.
  • 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 these parameters:

  • Select the Extended Kit Handling Implemented check box in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session.
  • Specify Component Lines in the Component Handling field of the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) 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, perform one of the following:

  • Clear the Extended Kit Handling Implemented check box in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session. If this check box is cleared, components are always handled using a sales BOM.
  • Select the Extended Kit Handling Implemented check box, but specify Sales BOM in the Component Handling field of the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) or the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.

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