SD-specific data cannot be transferred for subordinate document items.

For example, one red bag and one green bag are selected as components of a material in the configuration of the material. You cannot transfer SD data (for example, that the red bag is supplied by vendor X and the green bag is supplied by vendor Y) in the IDoc for these two components.

The instances transferred cannot be classes. Only object types (for example, MARA) can be transferred.

The user cannot set quantities. Only the quantities that are inferred by dependencies or maintained in the master data of the decomposition item are valid.

You cannot select parts manually. A component is only included in the configuration if it is a non-variable component (used in all variants of the material) or if the selection condition for the component is fulfilled.

In certain situations, the load function may not be able to process input data for an instance, due to the processing sequence.
For example, the BOM of the header material contains components 1 and 2, which are configurable. When the header material is configured, component 1 is not selected. Component 2 is selected. The configuration of component 2 triggers a dependency that leads to component 1 being selected after all. However, the system may no longer recognize that data for component 1 is available. In these cases, the data is marked as not processed.

The order confirmation always uses the data in the sales order to fill out the configuration data in the segments.
