One of the advantages of assembly processing is that changes in the sales document are updated in the network and vice versa.

Any changes in customer requirements, which are made in the sales document, are passed on to the network until

The network header has the status DLT (deleted), DLFL (deletion flag), LKD (locked), TECO (technically completed) or CLSD (closed).

In the schedule line, you can change the confirmed date but you cannot change the order quantity or the requested delivery date.

Any changes made to dates and quantities in the network are updated in the sales document automatically unless the fixed quantity and date indicator has been set for the item in the sales document.

Any changes to costs in the network are updated in the sales document. However, if required, you can also switch off this link between the network and the sales document. To do this, select the No update indicator in the appropriate requirements class. If you have selected this indicator, any changes in the network are not passed on to the sales document.

Any changes which are made to the master data after you have created the network are not updated automatically in the sales document or the network. If the changes are relevant for the sales document and network, you must update these documents manually.
