Quote an Assemble-to-Order Sale
You can use assembly management to customize an assembly item to a customer’s request during the sales process. For more information, see Sell Items Assembled to Order.
As when you sell any other type of item, you can also create a sales quote for a customized assembly item before converting it to a sales order. This process involves several extra steps when you compare it to creating a regular sales quote, and it uses a variation of a linked assembly order, which is an assembly quote.
[!NOTE]
Like all types of quotes, the quantities on assembly quotes are not used in availability, planning, or reservations.
