Production orders for purchased items

	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, LN will list the finished product itself as the only material in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.
