Herewith I send you the Screen Shots and a short description of the process:
- Item with following Setup
o Replenishment System: Assembly
o Assembly Policy: Assemble-to-Order
o Assembly BOM: Yes
- Location with “Receive” and “Shipment” activated e.g. RED
- Creation of a sales order
- Create a Shipment and Post the Sales Order
- Create a Sales Return Order by Copy the posted Invoice and post it via Receive
- As a result you have stock for the item with assembly policy “assemble-to-order”


How can the stock be used automatically in new sales orders? If you now create a new order for this item, the system will create a new assembly order und post it with the posting of the sales order. How can the posted assemble order for “assemble-to-order”-items been automatically cancelled with posting the sales return order? How is the correct process for this scenario?
The customer expect a solution and the standard software. This you can also read in the copy of the E-Mail I attached to the ticket.
This isn’t the only customer with had such expectations.
