Assemble-to-order with Projects
Assemble-to-order with Projects
Use networks and projects for assemble-to-order if you manufacture or engineer your products to order and you are not sure exactly how you are going to execute the sales order:
- If your customer orders a product whose manufacturing or assembly process is so complex that you consider it a project. With networks, you can plan in the mid- to long-term, for example, when the actual assembly process does not start for another 6 months.
- If your customer orders a customized or configured product that you are manufacturing or assembling for the first time. With a network, you have a flexible framework for rough-cut planning when you enter the sales order that you can add more detail to, and, if necessary, create production orders.
- If your manufacturing or assembly process is characterized by technical or time interdependencies, such as, one activity cannot finish until the preceding activity has finished.
- If you want to use the unique functionality of the Project System to carry out your projects, for example, you can create a work breakdown structure (WBS) for a project at the same time that you create a sales order.
You can still use planned orders and production orders if you choose to create a network from a sales order.
Account Assignment
In assemble-to-order with projects you can choose where the costs are collected: for example, in a work breakdown structure element (WBS element), in the sales order, or in the network.
Network is...
| Account assignment is made to...
| The standard WBS element from the standard network header...
| header-assigned
| sales order
| is not copied into the network header
| activity-assigned
| project
| is copied into the network header as a WBS element.
If no standard WBS element has been entered in the standard network header, you have to specify a WBS element when you save.
| header-assigned
| project
| is copied into the network header as a WBS element.
If no standard WBS element has been entered in the standard network header, you have to specify a WBS element when you save.

It is not possible to assign an network with activity account assignment to a sales order.
