The assemble-to-order scenario covers the process flow for managing of manufacturing operations associated with the assembly of a finished product from standardized components already available in stock.

The scenario initiated by placing a sales order, starts with converting sales order into individual assembly orders. The assembly is then carried out according to the customer's requirements.

In contrast to the make-to-order scenario, the stock availability in the assemble-to-order scenario is checked at the sales order level. As a rule, assembly operations are simple, that is why it does not require complex planning and scheduling.
