You are building the Bill of materials (BOM) for a new production item.
The new item has a subcomponent.
Subproduction orders for the subcomponent must be created when estimating production orders.
You need to configure the BOM line to generate subproduction orders.

To generate subproduction orders for a subcomponent when estimating production orders, you need to configure the Bill of Materials (BOM) line appropriately. The BOM is a hierarchical list of components that make up a final product, and it provides the instructions and requirements for assembling the finished product. Each BOM line specifies the component's quantity, unit of measure, and type.
In this case, you need to select a BOM line type that will generate subproduction orders for the subcomponent. The available options are:
A. Phantom: A phantom BOM line is used to describe a component that does not physically exist but is used for planning and scheduling purposes. Phantom components are used to simplify the BOM structure and reduce the number of levels in the hierarchy. In this case, you do not need to use a phantom BOM line because the subcomponent physically exists.
B. Vendor: A vendor BOM line is used to describe components that are purchased from a vendor. It contains information about the vendor and the item's price, lead time, and minimum order quantity. In this case, you do not need to use a vendor BOM line because the subcomponent is produced internally.
C. Item: An item BOM line is used to describe a component that is produced internally or purchased from a supplier. It contains information about the item's quantity, unit of measure, and production or purchase cost. This is a suitable option for the BOM line type you should use to generate subproduction orders for the subcomponent.
D. Pegged supply: A pegged supply BOM line is used to describe a component that is already in stock or reserved for a particular production order. It contains information about the item's quantity and location. In this case, you do not need to use a pegged supply BOM line because you want to generate subproduction orders for the subcomponent, not consume existing inventory.
Therefore, the BOM line type you should use to generate subproduction orders for the subcomponent is "Item".
