If you enter physical inventory differences for a full product in a unit of measure for which an empties BOM exists, the system automatically posts the differences for the empties components.

The quantity is based on the full product quantity and the corresponding percentage of the component in the BOM. Empties components are not recorded in physical inventory documents and only appear after differences have been posted in the article document.

This function applies to physical inventory differences for full products.

Before the system can automatically post differences for empties components, you must activate empties processing by making the required settings in Customizing for Materials Management.
