Aftercomparing various quotations with various configurations for configurable material, the customer decideson the last quotation. To optimize the order creation process, the order iscreated with reference to this follow-on quotation. All the relevant data iscopied from the follow-on quotation to the order. Creating the order withreference to a quotation also ensures consistency in the document flow.
The productordered by the customer is configured individually and interactively on thebasis of attributes predefined in the sales order. This data is passed directlyto the assembly process, so that an assembly order includes these specialproduct attributes. Depending on the Strategy Group in the material master of the configurable finished product, the assembly order can becreated in the background during sales order processing. The product is manufacturedin make-to-order production and the relevant stock records are kept.
