grid and flag the AFS status MRP.

Moreover, you have to assign the item category ERLA

(components are only used as text positions and are not relevant for delivery).

For example, a golf pack will always consist of a shirt, pants and a cap in the sizes relating to a size
of the header material. The pricing is maintained at header level.

An assortment is usually put together at the request of the customer whereby the quantity and sizes
of the set may vary but not the items within the BOM structure. A set material BOM is the same
concept as a phantom assembly in the standard system, in that the header material is merely a
grouping of two or more finished products. The components may have differing master grids. The
sizes and quantities are allocated when the BOM is exploded after a sales order has been entered.
The components are stockable items.

Assortments are not planned as one single unit but on the basis of single components. Processing is
carried out at component level (pricing, inventory management, delivery processing, and so on).

You have to assign the item category LUMF to the header material (only components are ready for
delivery). The AFS MRP should not be flagged. The material grids are assigned to the material
master of the components. The pricing is maintained at component level.

For example, a customer may want to have an assortment consisting of a golf shirt, golf pants, and
golf balls. The golf shirt and pants have a grid but the golf balls are a standard material. You enter
the requirements at SKU level when entering the sales order.

Unit:

Prepacks and Assortments

Topic:

Prepacks and Assortments

At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:

Create materials and bill of materials for prepacks and assortments

Create a sales order with prepacks and assortments

You would like to sell predefined combinations of quantities and sizes of

particular materials to your customers. In this case, you create a prepack
for use in Sales Order Processing.
You may also group together different materials into assortments if the
quantities and sizes vary according to the customers requirements.

Create the header material TS-SHOE-PREPACK-## with reference to TSBOM-PREPACK. Make sure that the AFS status is flagged, that master grid is
PREPACK and the item category group is ERLA

3-2

Create a bill of material for this prepack and assign the component TS-SHOE##.
Via the grid-entry maintain quantities for the prepack 1, 2 and 3 (such as 12, 18
and 24 pairs in various shoe sizes).
In this case, you would have different prices by prepack (e.g., assign pricing
indicator 01 Different price by size and create J3AP condition records for each
prepack).
On the other hand, you may want to enter different size spreads by prepack with
the same total quantity for each prepack. In this case, you would assign the
pricing indicator 00 All sizes have the same price and create one J3AP condition
record for the prepack only.
