What is the use of "component at locaiton" in MFG setup and SKU card setup?

Component’s at Location In Manufacturing set up : -

If you are stocking and shipping all finished production BOM items from one
location (Location A), and the production of those items occur at a second
location (Location , then the planning of those finished production BOM items
occurs at a the stocking and shipping location (Location A). The consumption of
the components are registered to the production location (Location and the
output of the production orders are registered to the stocking and shipping
location (Location A) entered on the original sales order to allow the sales order
to ship.

Example : -
In this example a sales order is entered for the touring bicycle that is stocked and
shipped in the Blue location. The production is occurring at the White location,
So u should fill the White in components at Location in the manufacturing set up. output of the production order is registered to the Blue location.

As with the Item Variants example in the previous section of this chapter, the location codes in the output journal is automatically filled in with the Blue location when you explode the route for the released production order.

To save the user the effort of entering a location code on all component lines for consumption journal processing, a preferred location can be stated in the Components at Location field in Manufacturing Setup. The component lines of production orders then automatically are filled with this location code.
Component’s at Location In Stock Keeping unit : -
Continuing the scenario from the previous section where the parent item
(bicycle) is produced in the Yellow location. In this example the component SKU
(bell) is produced in the Blue location and the Yellow location replenishes the
bell component via transfer order from the Blue location.

SKU use : -
The stockkeeping unit (SKU), which is an extension of the item card, states the inventory and planning parameters for items and their variants per location. By centralizing this information on the SKU, the program can then calculate plans on particular items at specific locations.

The SKU does not state a BOM or a routing, therefore:
• An item is produced at only one location.
• There cannot be different BOMs per SKU.
• There cannot be different routings per SKU.

Generally u created a sales order for the location Blue . then when u run the Planning worksheet then the system checks the raw material at that location Blue .
It never goes for another location. Then it tells the replenishment for the Raw material.
So Planner the planner must decide which location the components ( Raw material)are to be supplied from to produce the finished good.

Priority of the components at Location : -
In SKu card u have a field Components at Location . that means if u fill this field that means for this location( Blue ) , u are using the components from the location white .
If u did not fill any value here then system checks for the components at Location in Manufacturing setup
