Prepack and Assortment: BOM Maintenance 
Prepack and Assortment: BOM Maintenance
Features
In AFS you can store the component consumption at grid value level of the bill of material (BOM). For example, you can specify that a prepack should contain one shirt and two ties. Depending on the grid of the header material and the components, the grid value assignment is carried out either manually or automatically during the creation of a BOM (BOM usage 5 – sales). You can also use a quantity distribution profile at SKU level.
Manual grid value assignment
If the component has a different grid than the header material you must manually assign the grid values of the component to the grid values of the header material in the BOM. You do this in a grid that contains the combination of all grid values of the component and the header material. Here you manually assign the consumption quantities for each individual grid value of the component to the grid values of the header material.
See also the AFS-specific documentation of production planning and control:
Automatic grid value assignment
If a component has the same grid as the header material, the system automatically assigns the grid values of the component to the grid values of the header material. A component without a grid or an R/3 Standard component are automatically assigned to the header material. If you want to maintain consumption quantities for the components that deviate from the default quantities, go to the maintenance of the deviation and zero quantities.

AFS Quantity distribution profile at SKU level/BOM
The quantity distribution profile facilitates the data maintenance in the BOM. It is used as input help for the grid value assignment. You define a quantity distribution profile in the AFS application and assign it to your BOM. When creating the quantity distribution profile you assign the grid values of the header material to the grid values of the component. You determine a distribution factor for every single assignment. When creating the BOM, you can use this quantity distribution profile as input help.
