Example: Creating an EDI Order for Configurable Materials

The following example shows the IDoc structure for a PC. In the configuration profile, the BOM explosion result is defined as Sales order, so the items that are relevant to sales are configured individually and appear in the sales order as sub-items of the main item. The PC consists of other configurable materials: 1 or 2 diskette drives, and 2 packages with country-specific documentation.

 

The example uses a sales order with two items, each of which is configured differently.

Item

Mat.no.

Quantity

10

PC

The items are configured as follows:

Item

PC

No.of_diskette_drives = 2

 

Diskette_drive

Diskette_drive_type = 3.5

 

Diskette_drive

Diskette_drive_type = 5.25

 

Doc_package

Language = English

PC

No.of_diskette_drives = 1

 

Diskette_drive

Diskette_drive_type = 5.25

The following components are copied to the sales order as items, according to the configuration:
