In configurable BOMs, you can create class items, which are identified by the class type and the class.

Class Items

The following data is relevant to class items.

The class type has basic control functions for classes. For example, the class type determines which object types you can classify in a class (for example, class type 017 – documents).

A class is used to group together a number of similar objects (such as documents). These objects are described by means of characteristics which they have in common (for example, format and size).

Note

In the additional data in class maintenance, there are several fields for controlling the use of a class in BOMs.

If the class type is linked to the document info record, the system sets the value piece (PC). Otherwise it sets the unit of measure from the class as a default value. This unit was entered in the Base unit of measure field in the additional data dataset. You can replace it with any unit of the same dimension.

You enter classes as items using the item category Class item.

Before you can assemble a product whose BOM contains class items (for example, Bolts), each class item must be replaced by an object that is classified in the class during configuration.
When you create a class items, you must select an item category for the objects classified in the class(for example, material A-B-0101), in addition to the item category Class item. This second item category is known as the resulting item category. The resulting item category allows you to enter item-specific data when you create a class item.

Example

If the class item contains a class for classifying materials, you can choose one of the following as a resulting item category:

You can define a default value for the resulting item category for each class.
