You sell a product for which there is a bill of material. What must you set to ensure that the components automatically appear as sub-items in the order?

Question

Options

• AThe delivery group in the item category of the sub-item
• BThe structure scope in the item category of the main item
• CThe item usage during the item category determination of each sub-item
• DThe material entry type in the sales document type

• A
  14% (4)
• B
  75% (21)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Option B is correct because in SAP SD, the Structure Scope field in the item category configuration of the main item (e.g., item category TAP) tells the system to explode the Bill of Materials during order entry, causing components to automatically appear as sub-items - without this setting, the BOM is never triggered.

Option A is wrong because the delivery group in a sub-item's category controls how items are grouped for delivery scheduling, not whether BOM components appear in the order. Option C is a distractor because item usage is one of four parameters used to determine which item category is assigned to a sub-item, but it doesn't control whether those sub-items are generated in the first place. Option D is wrong because the sales document type's settings govern document-level behavior (number ranges, order type, etc.), not BOM explosion logic at the item level.

Memory tip: Think "the Main item's Structure Scope controls the Structure." The parent is always in charge of its children - only the main item's category can tell SAP to expand the BOM below it.
