As with normal quotations, you can convert quotations involving assembly processing to sales orders. This is the case when the customer makes a firm order for the project.

How the system converts one sales document to another, for example a quotation to a sales order, depends on the settings that have been made in Customizing for Sales and Distribution ® Sales. The Pos./neg. quantity indicator in the Copy Control: Sales Document to Sales Document transaction determines how the system reacts, when you convert a quotation to a sales order.

When you convert a quotation that created a network using assembly processing, the system uses the same network for the sales order. This means that any changes you made to the network during the quotation phase, for example as a result of negotiations with the customer, are automatically transferred to the sales order. This case is described in more detail below.

The system creates a new network and, if applicable, a new project for the sales order. This new network and the old network, which was created from the quotation, are independent of each other.

For more information, see Copying Documents in the Sales component (SD-SLS).

When you create a sales order by converting a quotation, the system updates the network correspondingly. In the network header you can see both the quotation and the sales order. On the activity detail screen you can only see the original document, which is usually the quotation.

The account assignment object remains the same.
