It looks like a job for Bill of Material (BOM).

Thanks Martin,

But can BOM be used in retail POS?

You asked "What is the best way to track this in warehouse management?" If you wanted to ask something about Retail POS, why didn't you mention it in your question and didn't attach related tags?

Please explain requirement again, this time with enough details. It will increase your chance to get an answer.

Can *you* explain it in detail, then? Are you also talking about POS, or you actually don't have the same problem as echo?

Hi Diego Augusto Steffen,

What I have understood of the scenario is that lets say we have an item AB which has BOM items A and B.

Now it so happens that you are selling item AB to you customer on a sales order and you want to ship the item. But as a part of practical scenario you can pack the item AB in one container. Instead you need to ship it after dismantling it into two parts item A and item B.

Now item A is packed in one box and item B in another. Now you want to handle selling of item AB which has been packed in two separate boxes in warehouse management.

Well answer to that would depend on whether you use manufacturing process to make item AB or simply sell from stock. Secondly is this a POS sales or from rich client.

Answers to above would help to suggest if possible a way to handle it in AX.
