Creating an Order for Configurable Materials with EDI
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.

The example uses a sales order with 2 items, which are configured differently.
