Description
This parameter activates internal item number assignment. In some casesit is necessary that the SAP System assigns the item numbers, forexample, for articles for which a BOM in the order is exploded
Example:
An order with 2 items and a shcedule line each is to be created. Enterthe item numebrs 10 and 20 in INQUIRY_ITEM_IN and INQUIRY_SCHEDULES_IN,If the article for item 10 now receives a sales BOM, this BOM can beexploded and a subitem with item number 20 is created. The referenceschedule line - item no longer exists.
Here it is necessary for item number assignment on the SAP side to takeplace internally.
