An alternative to MTO is to use reordering rules and set min qty = 0. This will trigger only manufactruing orders when you have requirement, and you will avoid stock.

MTO got some disadvantages in logistics, and if you try to combine MTO and MTS on the same product, you will easyli get into problems with reservations. 

Hey!  

Thanks for the anwser. I understand the MTO. We do not want to keep the end product on stock, only the sub-components. We only want to build the end product when its ordered on the website. 

We have 2 scenarios:

1. Scenario:

- routes on product are set `MTO` and `Manufacture​`​  

- product BOM is type `Manufacture this product`

The result is that the product is unavailable on the website since it is not in stock. In other words, the button `Add To Cart` on the website is grayed out. The MO is properly created if we create the SO by hand. We can check out the `Continue Selling` checkbox but we do not want this since some sub-components take a long time to produce. We only want this product to be avalible when all sub-components are on stock. 

2. Scenario

- routes on product are set `MTO` and `Manufacture​`​  

- product BOM is type `Kit`

The website displays what we want. But the MO is not created since the BOM type is not `Manufacture this product`. This means that the SO creates transfers where we only pick the sub components.Hey!

Hi,

This can be made by setting up the route of the product as MTO. Firstly create a BOM for your

product, set the BoM Type as ‘Manufacture this product’, and set the route as MTO and manufacture. Then buy the product from the website, and an MTO will be created.

Set the route Replenish on Order (MTO) and Manufacture.

Buy this product from the website, then a corresponding manufacturing order will be created.

Hope it helps
