BOD statuses, Business Center application properties, and parent products

The ability to purchase parent products and their spare parts depends upon the interaction between the Application.Product Header Selling Enabled tenant application property in the Business Center and the status of the SyncItemMaster BOD and SyncBillOfMaterial BOD sent from the ERP.

This table shows the effects of BOD statuses when the Application.Product Header Selling Enabled tenant application property is set to True:
