Detached Order Assembly Creation

You only create a detached order assembly if, for example, you have to design, order or assemble certain components, before the design of the whole product is complete. You do not have to
decide until later, at which point you want to insert the detached order assembly.

You have already entered the material, into which you later want to insert the detached order assembly, in a sales order.
