Deliver
The DELIVER Level Two process types: deliver stocked product (D1), deliver make-to-order product (D2), and deliver engineer-to-product (D3), attempt to characterize how a company processes its finished goods in response to customer orders. The delivery process frequently is located in a warehouse site, but can be applied to manufacturing or supplier direct ships as well.
D1 is generally trigged by a forecast from PLAN that places finished goods in inventory on an available-to-promise basis prior to the customer order. Inventory levels are independent of specific customer order quantities. D2 is usually triggered by a specific customer order requirement of finished goods that are planned to be converted, assembled, or configured after and receipt of the customer order. The sales order quantity is equal to customer order quantities. D3 is triggered by a specific customer order requirement and design or manufacturing specifications to be completed prior to issue of a sales order. The sales order quantity is equal to customer order quantities and is usually executed once. FG, RM, WIP item can evolve through each process type over the course of the product life cycle, and a location may use one, two, or all three DELIVER process types.
