Anindya,

We manage outside the system now, but you buy SAP, your expectation is to try and use it as much as possible to avoid running parallel systems and processes. Do you have any ideas how to use SAP for this issue?

Subject: Sub-components, for lack of a better term

Looking for a way to manage this scenario in SAP. Any help is appreciated.
We receive a component from a vendor. We assign it a material #, stock it, and order and issue it to production orders as normal. Now, this particular component is actually made up of 5 pieces. Is there a way to setup this up in SAP so when the component is selected in a BOM or a Purchase Order in pulls in the list of pieces for reference purposes only? We do not want to inventory or costs those pieces individually.
