Status Closed for Subitems

Question

Hi
  I have the sales order with the Subitem functionality, that means we are using the Higher-level item in bill of material structures (VBAP-UEPOS) when we need to create a Subitem in reference to some Item.
  The point is that  some times I have a Primary Item, with a Subitem referenced to the Primary Item.
Some times I need to close the Primary Item without closing the Subitem, but I can't assign a Reason for rejection in the primary Item because the reason for rejection is copied automatically to the Subitem, so I need another way to close the Primary Item without affecting the Subitem related to it.   I hope I have explained my problem.
Any suggestions are welcome. 
Regards

Thanks, but we are not using the BOM for subitems, we use the same material number in the Primary Item and in the Subitem, and they are not configured as a BOM, they have same Item Category and everything else is the same. 
The purpouse of using the sales orders like this, was avoiding re-capturing sales orders, so we have the Primary Item for 10,000 LB, and we have delivered 5,000 LB to   some route, as we need to deliver the remaining 5,000 LB to another route, we can  add a Subitem with the same material to deliver the rest 5,000 LB to another route .  This is a tipically example of how we are using the Higher-level item in bill of material structures.
