<div id="ygrps-yiv-180855291">Our customers want to purchase standard kits of parts with a minimum of paperwork. To meet this requirement we create a parent part that becomes a line item on our sales order, and we create subassembly parts in a BOM. This works well in for order entry, production and invoicing, but is a major pain in shipping.<br/>
<br/>
The first problem is with the picking of the components to fulfill the order. <br/>
<br/>
The second problem is with the backorder of a component part.  <br/>
<br/>
Does anyone have experience in similar issues? I&#39;d like to discuss possible Vantage solutions.<br/>
