This unit covers the AFS specific functionality, such as Prepacks
and Assortments, and Sales Order Processing.

Prepacks & Assortments: Business Scenario
You would like to sell predefined combinations of quantities and
sizes of particular materials to your customers. In this case, you
create a prepack for use in Sales Order Processing (processing at
main item level).
You may also group together different materials into assortments if
the quantities and sizes vary according to the customer’s
requirements (processing at component level).

MRP
A prepack is a set of predefined combinations of quantities and
sizes in the BOM structure. The header material may contain a
master grid that is different from the grids of the components. In
this case, you maintain the assignment of grid values of the header
to the components. If the header and component materials contain
either the same master grid or grids with the same dimensions, you
only maintain deviation quantities for the BOM. All items,
independent of their levels in the BOM, are MRP relevant.
A prepack is planned for requirements as one unit, not on the basis
of the components. Processing is carried out at main item level
(pricing, inventory management, delivery processing, and so
on).
If a material is used as header material in a prepack, it needs to
be defined as a regular AFS material. You have to assign a grid and
flag the AFS status MRP. Moreover, you have to assign the item
category ERLA (components are only used as text positions and are
not relevant for delivery).
For example, a golf pack will always consist of a shirt, pants and
a cap in the sizes relating to a size of the header material. The
pricing is maintained at header level.

MRP
In this example, only one component (Shoe 5814) is assigned to the
header material (AFS prepack Shoe 5814). The header material
contains a master grid (special Prepack Grid) and the component
contains the usual grid used for shoes (Shoe Grid).
BOM: Different shoe sizes and different quantities are assigned to
the different prepack sizes (small, medium, large).
The total quantity for the prepack sizes (spread among the
different shoe sizes) are:
Prepack small: 12 Pairs
Prepack medium: 18 Pairs
Prepack large: 24 Pairs

MRP
An assortment is usually put together at the request of the
customer whereby the quantity and sizes of the set may vary but not
the items within the BOM structure. A set material BOM is the same
concept as a phantom assembly in the standard system, in that the
header material is merely a grouping of two or more finished
products. The header material usually contains no master grid but
may have categories. The components may have differing master
grids. The sizes and quantities are allocated when the BOM is
exploded after a sales order has been entered. The components are
stockable items.
Assortments are not planned as one single unit but on the basis of
single components. Processing is carried out at component level
(pricing, inventory management, delivery processing, and so
on).
If a material is a header material used in a sales BOM for an
assortment, you must activate the set material field in the
material master record. Furthermore, you have to assign the item
category LUMF to the header material (only components are ready for
delivery). The AFS MRP should not be flagged. The material grids
are assigned to the material master of the components. The pricing
is maintained at component level.
For example, a customer may want to have an assortment consisting
of a golf shirt, golf pants, and golf balls. The header material
has no grid. The golf shirt and pants have a grid but the golf
balls are a standard material. You enter the requirements at SKU
level when entering the sales order.
