Assembly. This BOM is similar to the sales bill of materials. It represents a collection of individual items in
a set with a specific price.

from the item BOM.

5. What are the two methods where components can be issued?

Expound in 1-2 sentences each method. P19 (4 points)
Answer:
Manual. You issue individual component items to the production order. This enables you to post
components issued to a production order precisely when they are required in the production process.
Manual issue is always used for serialized or batch-managed items.

items (as defined in the Components tab) when a product is reported as completed. Items that are set
to backflush are issued automatically when you choose Report Completion.
