Sales Order Maintenance (OE) to enter a sales order and generate a manufacturing order for:

A make-to-order item (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program that matches the Item code for immediate supply option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options))
A subassembly (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program for the item and its components matches the Subassembly release type option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options)
A configured product that requires assembly
An item you make is not in inventory, the order entry operator clicks Manufacture in manual obligation mode, and the Disable mfg order firewall option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) is selected
