In SAP you can create such type of a product which is called Bill of Materials (BOM). It refers to the complex component structure, basically this is the list of materials or components which is used to build the final product and from which this product actually consists. For example, a customer is looking for a computer and he/she wants to see the list of hardware the computer consists of. The ERP system can store a lot of different spare parts that are used to manufacture a product which are actually not intended to sell. These spare parts can be also a part of the complex product structure.

In the Material BOM table you can define from which components and their quantity the BOM product consists of.

In the web store a customer will see a link View package contents on the product details page. Clicking on this link opens the list of BOM components.

If you don't want to show BOM components to you customers in the Sana web store, you can also hide them. You can do this by setting up web store filters for the BOM entity.

The main BOM item can be assigned to a certain item category group. For example, you can use item category group LUMF or ERLA for the main BOM item. They are used in BOM explosion.

• If the item category group is LUMF, a customer will see a total price of all BOM components, but not of the main BOM item. When a customer purchases the BOM item, stock will be deducted from all BOM components.
• If the item category group is ERLA, a customer will see a price of the main BOM item, but not of its components. Stock is calculated for the main BOM item as for one saleable unit. When a customer purchases the BOM item, stock will be deducted from it as from one saleable unit, but not from its components.
