Experts,

What is the diffence between sub-assembly and a component?

in my report if user enters component it should display sub-assembly. if it is reverse should not get component for that.

is there any function module for this?

I tried in CS15 but not get exact information.

please help me...

Hi,

component is nothing but one of small product. So many no.of products could combine and they will give one big product. For that particular component one or more sub-assemblies can be used.

Sub-assembly will contain one or more no of small contents.

14' inch boltnut is one of sub-assembly for the one big component.

In that boltnut sub assembly might contains bolt , nut and washer. That is called sub-assembly.

Thanks,
