Make-to-Order
Make-to-Order is the Supply Chain Configuration Strategy which uses unique, identifiable t:SOs to drive all decision and execution processes. In practice this means stock is assigned to orders early on in the supply chain: at receipt of product in Source-To-Order process or in the Make-To-Order Make process. For inventory transactions both the item number and the Sales Order/reference are recorded*.
Make-to-Order is one of the four Supply Chain Configuration Strategies: Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order, Engineer-to-Order, Reverse Logistics and Circular Economics.
