Hi,

In simple words,

Make-to-Order is used for manufacturing the material based on customer requirement / order. The customer will give the specifications and the company will procure the raw materials for manufacturing the same and produce it. Make-to-order goods will not be kept in stock. Ex: Rolls Royce Car.

In make-to-stock scenario. the compnay will manuafacture the product and keep it in stock, assuming that there will be a demand for the product. Ex: Cars, bikes ...etc...

Dear Swathi,

Make -to -Order :- In the make to order scinerio the product will be produced based on the customer requirement.

Here the sales order will trigger the production order.

Process flow is

Sales order>production order>Purchase order to procure the Raw material.

Make- to-Stock:- In the Make-to stock scinerio the product will produced irrespective of the customer requirement.

Here based on the past periods they do the production.

Process flow.

sales order>Delivery>Invoice

Configuration steps

1.For make- to -order you need to create material master with itemcategory group 0001 -Make to order.

2.Yyou maintain Availbility check group in the material master Sale:General/Plant tab.

3.you need to maintain the Planning strategy group as 20(Make to order)in the material master MRP3 view.

4.You need to main the assignment of Checking roule AE--Sd order make to order to the availability check group in the transaction OVZ9.

Regarding Make to stock it standard process in SAP.

I hop eit will help you

This is a very good business scenario.

First Make to Stock :- means you are producing Goods with MRP run of Planning and stocking it in wearhouse.

when ever requirement come you will give material from the stock.

Make to order :- this is a business scenario where you first get a purchase order than you start production of that material.

Reqard Points if helpful

hi,

Make-to-order production is a process in which a product is individually manufactured for a particular customer. In contrast to mass production for an unspecified market where a material is manufactured many times, in make-to-order production a material is created only once though the same or a similar production process might be repeated at a later time.

You can use make-to-order production:

For branches of industry or products where a small quantity of products with a large number of different characteristics are manufactured

When a product has to be assembled particularly for a sales order
