Shipping Configured Items
Using standard sales order shipping, you can ship a configured item in one of three ways:
• Use Sales Order Shipments (7.9.15) to ship the product and backflush its components. Use this method only if the configured item type is Kit rather than ATO.
• Receive a final assembly work order at the time of shipment using Sales Order Shipments (7.9.15). To do this, set Receive F/A in SO to Yes in Configured Products Control (8.24). Use this method for serialized items when there is only one work order for a sales order line.
• Receive the work order in finished goods inventory using Work Order Receipt (16.11) or Work Order Receipt Backflush (16.12). Then ship the product from inventory using Sales Order Shipments (7.9.15). Use this method only when work orders are required for each unit of a sales order line item.
Before deciding on a method, review the costing issues that arise when there are configured products in inventory. Shipment automatically updates the quantity received on the FAS work order.
