Make-to-Stock Scenario You use this procedure if your dealers work with make-to-stock production or when you order vehicles for stock yourself.
As importer, you sit down with your manufacturer, analyze the sales figures for the last business period and decide on quotas for the individual vehicle models for the new business period. This decision made, you create the number of vehicles agreed on as planned vehicles (no value assignment possible) in your system. You do not allow values to be assigned until you actually order the vehicles from the manufacturer. As soon as you receive a purchase order confirmation from the manufacturer via IDoc, you make the vehicles visible, in other words, offer them for sale to your dealers. Your dealers can now make reservations and requests for reservations or also create a sales order directly. As soon as a dealer has created a sales order, he/she hides the vehicle from display so that it can no longer be seen by other dealers.
Goods movements and invoices complete the process. The process is complete when your dealer delivers the vehicle to the end customer and the sales registration note with the license number has been returned to you.
Here is an example of this procedure. (V) signifies an Interlinking Action .
