Make-to-Order__Process Flow

Materials in SAP ECC system is usually either procured or produced and kept in stock or it is custom made as per the customer’s specification.
Make – to – order production is nothing but manufacturing the standard material by taking/changing characteristics of the material that slightly changes the standard material.
Customer will have a choice to choose this characteristic depending on their requirements. That mean in make-to-order production scenario materials are not stored in the warehouse but produced especially for a particular sales order.
The individual customer requirement generated from the sales order item is transferred to materials planning (PP) from SD.  
After MRP run the system will crerate a planned order from the sales order requirements (Here, bills of material are exploded and dependent requirements for the assemblies and components are generated) and based on that a production order will be created and released.
Once the items are produced then the production order is confirmed and it will be posted to a special stock especially set up for the particular sales order, after that as soon as the delivery is due, you can deliver the goods and bill the customer.
If the material is produced b the assembly-processing method, then there is no need to generate dependent requirements, MRP run and planned order, because the required components are already available.
In this case you can create a production order directly from the sales order and thus just one-level of BOM explosion is enough.

  2. In the material master for availability check the “Checking Group” is 02 = Individual requirements
  3. Item category is TAK
  4. Schedule line category = CP
  5. Movement type: 601
