Creating an Assembly Order  

To create an assembly order, proceed as follows:

  1. Select Logistics ® Sales/distribution ® Sales on the main menu screen.
  2. Select Order ® Create.
  3. Enter the order type.

    4. This is usually TA (standard order) in the standard system.

  4. If necessary, enter the organizational data.

    5. The values for sales organization, for distribution channel and the division are usually proposed from user-defined parameters. Entries for the sales office and the sales group are optional.

  5. Press Enter.
  6. Enter the following data:

    7. – Customer number of the sold-to party

    – Customer’s purchase order number

    – Material number

    – Order quantity for the material

  7. Press Enter.

    8. The system performs an availability check for the components required for assembly and creates an assembly order in the background. Scheduling is performed for both the sales order and the assembly order.

    For more information on scheduling in assembly processing, see Scheduling in Assembly Processing.

    For more information on the availability check, please refer to the section entitled Availability Check in Assembly Processing.

    After the availability check is performed, the system either displays the availability control screen or, if the system determines that any of the components are not available, it issues a list of these missing parts.

  8. If the system displays the missing parts list, select Back to reach the availability control screen.
  9. Accept either the one-time delivery or the delivery proposal.

    10. The system returns you to the overview screen in the sales order.

    You can access the assembly order from the sales order. For information on how to do this, see Navigating in the Sales Order in Assembly Processing.

  10. Save your document.

The system saves the sales order and the assembly order that was created in the background.
