Make-to-Order Production - Process Manufacturing

The standard sales process (make-to-order) for batch-managed finished goods starts with a customer quotation or sales order and ends with the clearing of a customer account after a payment has been received.

The process starts with the creation of a quotation and then a sales order with reference it, or by creating a sales order directly.

The production process based on process orders is triggered by a material requirement planning (MRP) run for the product ordered by the customer and all its components. Once the finished product with a batch is in stock, the delivery and billing of the goods completes the process.

The process can be enhanced by executing optional steps, such as procurement of components or period-end closing.
