How to Hide Sub-items of BoM Items in Sales Document Output

[emilyshi]

Background

A BoM item usually contains a head item and several sub items. In the output form of sales document, both the head item and subitems will be displayed. For some suppliers, they prefer not to show the subitem information to their buyers. Therefore, they want to hide the subitems in the final output form. With the solution we provided, you can customize your output form to hide the BoM subitems that have no price.
