Make-to-Order Production with Variant Configuration (1YT)
This scope item shows a Make-to-Order Production scenario using the Advanced Variant Configuration for an efficient state-of-the-art configuration of a material ordered by a customer, covering single-level and multi-level configurable materials. The configurable material is defined as a bill of material. In this process, a sales order (optionally based on a sales quotation) is created with an individual configuration for a fork lifter. This is captured by defining the different component characteristics desired by the customers and considering the constraints and dependencies of the components. The sales price calculation is then based on the individually chosen characteristics of the components. The sales order is considered for production planning when doing the Materials Requirements Planning (MRP). The production execution for the individual fork lifter takes place before delivering it to the customer. The process finishes with the billing to the customer.
Key Process Steps Covered
- Create a customer sales order (optionally based on a sales quotation) for an individually configured fork lifter either single-level or multi-level
- Calculate sales prices based on the customer chosen characteristics of the configurable product
- Execute the Make-to-Order production of the fork lifter ordered by the customer with routings according to the configuration
- Process the delivery and billing for the customer
