• Key Concepts: 
  Assembly is a term used in SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME) to refer to the process of combining multiple components into a single product. This process is also known as “kitting” and is used to create finished goods from individual parts. The assembly process can be automated or manual, depending on the complexity of the product being assembled.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP MFG-ME, the assembly process is managed through the Assembly Workbench. This workbench allows users to define the components that need to be assembled, as well as the order in which they should be combined. The workbench also provides tools for tracking and managing the assembly process, such as tracking inventory levels and ensuring that all components are available before beginning assembly.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an assembly process in SAP MFG-ME, it is important to ensure that all components are available before beginning. This will help reduce delays and ensure that the assembly process runs smoothly. Additionally, it is important to keep track of inventory levels throughout the assembly process, as this will help ensure that there are no shortages of components during assembly.
