  A component item in SAP Business One (SBO) is a type of item that is used to represent a combination of other items. It is a virtual item that is made up of multiple components, such as raw materials, parts, and services. Component items are used to simplify the process of ordering and tracking multiple items at once. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  Component items can be created in SAP Business One by selecting the “Component Item” option from the “Items” menu. Once created, component items can be added to sales orders, purchase orders, and inventory documents. When a component item is added to an order or document, the individual components that make up the item will be automatically added as well. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a component item, it is important to ensure that all of the components are correctly specified. This will ensure that the correct components are added when the component item is added to an order or document. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the components of a component item, as these changes will need to be reflected in any orders or documents that contain the component item.
