# Drive demand below buy parts configuration

## Overview

Depending on your relationships with suppliers, it may be useful to drive demand below purchased parts when they have mBOMs. One example where this is helpful is if you have purchased assemblies where you are providing components to the supplier.

Alternatively, if the majority of your cases are where the supplier is procuring the subcomponents, this may not be desireable.

This setting below allows you to toggle this setting for your factory.

## Turning the setting on

This can be enabled from the organization settings here:
