• Key Concepts: 
  Assembly operation is a type of manufacturing process in the SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME) component. It is used to assemble components into a finished product. The assembly operation is typically used in the production of complex products, such as automobiles, where multiple components need to be combined into a single product. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The assembly operation is used to define the sequence of steps required to assemble a product. This includes defining the components that need to be assembled, the order in which they should be assembled, and any additional steps that may be required. The assembly operation can also be used to track the progress of the assembly process and ensure that all components are correctly assembled. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the assembly operation, it is important to ensure that all components are correctly identified and tracked throughout the assembly process. This will help ensure that all components are correctly assembled and that any errors or delays are quickly identified and addressed. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all steps in the assembly process are properly documented so that any changes or updates can be easily tracked. 
  
  Related Information:
