Specifies if the warehouse shipment line is for assembly items that are assembled to a sales order before it is shipped.

In assemble-to-order scenarios for advanced warehouse installations, it is assumed that a worker in the shipping department controls when and how many assembled items to ship for a specified sales order. In these scenarios, you cannot change the contents of the Quantity to Assemble field on the related assembly order. Instead, you can change the Qty. to Ship field on the warehouse shipment line. This field controls how many units to assemble, and the specified quantity is posted as assembly output when the warehouse shipment is posted. For more information, see Handling Assemble-to-Order Items in Warehouse Shipments.

Note
The sales order line may contain additional quantities that are already available and must be shipped from inventory. For more information, see How to: Sell Inventory Items in Assemble-to-Order Flows. In that case, a second warehouse shipment line exists on the warehouse shipment document for the sales order, which represents the inventory part of the sales line quantity.

Additional Information

If the sales line quantity includes both assemble-to-order quantities and inventory quantities, then the warehouse shipment for that sales order line contains the following lines:

  • One line for the assemble-to-order quantity.
  • One line for the inventory quantity.

In that case, the Assemble to Order field is selected on the warehouse shipment line for the assemble-to-order quantity.

For more information about combination scenarios, see Assemble to Order or Assemble to Stock.
