• Key Concepts: 
  Detached order assembly is a production process in SAP Production Planning and Control (PP) that allows for the production of a single product from multiple components. This process is used when the components are not available in the same location, or when the components need to be produced in different locations. The detached order assembly process allows for the production of a single product from multiple components, even if they are not available in the same location. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use detached order assembly, you must first create a production order for each component. The production orders must be linked together using the “detached order assembly” function. This will allow you to track the progress of each component and ensure that all components are produced correctly. Once all components have been produced, they can be assembled into a single product. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using detached order assembly, it is important to ensure that all components are produced correctly and on time. It is also important to keep track of the progress of each component so that any delays can be addressed quickly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all components are compatible with each other before they are assembled into a single product.
