Example Creating an Order for Configurable Materials with EDI  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The following example shows the IDoc structure for a PC. In the configuration profile, the BOM explosion result is defined as Sales order, so the items that are relevant to sales can be configured individually and appear in the sales order as sub-items of the main item. The PC consists of other configurable materials: one or two diskette drives, and two packages with country-specific documentation.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text
