Multiple sales order lines with identical product configurations

Selling generic items

If you enter a generic item on a sales order line, you must configure the item to determine the product variant. If you configure the generic item, LN generates an item code and product variant for the configured item.

Depending on the parameter settings described below, LN can handle this in the following ways:

  • Each sales order line gets a different item code, even if the product configuration is identical.
  • If multiple lines in a sales order have the same generic item in the same product configuration, all sales order lines reuse the same generated item code with the same product variant identification code.
Reuse item codes of a product configuration

To allow reuse of item codes, in the Product Configuration Parameters (tipcf0100m000) session, select the Allow re-use of Configurations check box.

If you enter a generic item on a sales order line with the same product options as you used in an earlier sales order line, LN reuses the configured item and product variant.

Important!

In the Generic Item - Settings for Data Generation (tipcf3101m000) session, make sure that two items with different options cannot result in the same item code. If that happens during item configuration, LN ends the configuration process with an error message.

Generate (project) structure for sales orders

When you generate the project structure in the Generate (Project PCS) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000) session, you must select the Create a Project (PCS) per Sales Order check box.
