Settings in the Standard System 
In the standard system there are two strategy groups with corresponding main strategies:
- Assembly processing, network without project (strategy 83)
- Assembly processing, network with project (strategy 85)
Determining the requirements class for a sales document item
Assembly Processing without Project (Strategy 83)
The strategy and not the item category determines the requirements type. Strategy 83 leads to requirements type KMNP, which in turn leads to requirement class 202. This requirement class has the following settings:
- Assembly type 2: As described in
Material Requirements in Assembly Processing this is the only assembly type that is available for assembly processing in the Project System.
Special stock E: Sales order stock. The Valuation indicator for this stock is set to M, which means that the stock is valuated and that a separate valuation strategy can be defined for this stock.
Order type PS05: The order type is identical in this case with the type of network that is created during assembly processing. PS05 is a header assigned network with internal numbers for Make-to-Order processes.
Account assignment category E: The material is kept in sales order stock. The costs from the goods movements of the product are posted directly to the sales order.
Assembly Processing with Project (Strategy 85)
The strategy and not the item category determines the requirements type. Strategy 85 leads to requirements type KMPN, which in turns leads to requirement class 212. This requirement class has the following settings:
- Assembly type 2: As described in
Material Requirements in Assembly Processing this is the only assembly type that is available for assembly processing in the Project System.
Special stock E: Sales order stock. However the stock is not valuated.
Order type PS04: The order type is identical in this case with the type of network that is created during assembly processing. PS04 is an activity assigned network type for sales orders.
Account assignment category D: When you create a sales order, the system opens a sales order stock segment in the stock/requirements list. Revenues are posted to the project.
