What is Make to Order?
See how a confirmed sales order triggers planning and production for a specific customer requirement.
Start with the foundation →How does the sales order define an MTO requirement?
The order captures product, configuration, quantity, requested date, commercial terms, and customer-specific specifications.
Open topic →SCHEDULEHow is a feasible MTO delivery date promised?
SAP evaluates component availability, procurement lead time, capacity, in-house production time, and final assembly scheduling.
Open topic →OBJECT MODELHow does transfer of requirements create customer-specific supply?
Trace the sales-order schedule line through requirements determination, individual demand, pegged MRP, order-specific supply, and fulfilment.
Open anatomy →PEGHow does MRP create order-specific supply?
MRP explodes the configured BOM and creates procurement and planned orders pegged to the sales-order requirement.
Open topic →EXECUTEHow is a customer-specific order manufactured?
Production converts the pegged plan into operations, component issues, confirmations, finished output, and actual cost while retaining sales-order reference.
Open topic →SETTLEHow does MTO finish in delivery, billing, and profitability?
The reserved output fulfils the customer order; delivery, goods issue, billing, revenue, cost, variance, and settlement complete the commercial result.
Open topic →How does Make to Order execute in SAP?
Connect operational execution, document evidence, accounting impact, and exceptions.
