[former_member720197]

Hi Gurus,

What is the difference between,

Make to order/assembly (item Category: 0004)

and

Make to order(item cat0001).

Also please clarify in make to order cycle sales order is converted in production first and then to planned order.

Regards,

Babs.

hi,

1} Make to order without assembly processing-

=Production order is generated from the planned order.

=Make to order without assembly processing is characterized by the fact that materials are not available in the warehouse but produced especially for aparticular sales order.

=An individual customer requirement is generated from the sales order item and transferred to material planning.

=We can use material planning run to plan requirements,once this has been done production order is carried out.The system returns the confirmed qty and delivery date from production order to sales order.

=After the product has been manufacture,goods receipt is posted in the sals order stock which is a special stock,and which can only be used for a specific sals order.

2}Make to order with assembly processing-

=Production order is generated from sales order.(No need material planning run)

=The individual components for the final product have already been produced;we only need to assemble the component according to the customers requirement.

In MTO scenario after the sale order is created MRP is run for specific sale order line item using MD50 transaction which will generate planned orders which are converted to production orders.
