Maintaining a Reference Point for the Network Activity

You have to maintain the reference point in the network activity in order to create a logical connection between the BOM item and the appropriate network activity (advance procurement for generator). In contrast to manual assignment of individual components, BOM changes made in the network activity in retrospect can be updated automatically.
