Hi,

I just found this question when checking some other things. When we come to ‘K’ parts, I think you already know that, ‘K’ parts are not existing parts. They exist always as the components.

So, if a ‘K’ part includes in a product structure (as a component), then we can use the this structure in estimates without any problem. Bcz, exploded components are get connected to the top part.

But, if we try to add a ‘K’ part (using ‘Add New Item’ may be), then estimate can’t handle this part. Bcz, the new estimate node created can't keep the ‘K’ as the top part (bcz, it is a non existing part and only the components should be there).

Hope this is helpful.

B/R
