    Assembly order is more focus on not continues manufacturing like a computer, planning is more a car manufacturer

    Hi,

    Assembly--> 

    To support companies that supply products to their customers by combining components in simple processes without the need of manufacturing functionality, Dynamics NAV includes features to assemble items that integrate with existing features, such as sales, planning, reservations, and warehousing.

    Manufacturing-->

    To convert material into produced end items, production resources, such as bills of material, routings, machine operators, and machinery must be set up in the system.

    Hi, Assembly Order can be seen as a simplified version of the Manufacturing feature.

    Below is a blog from a partner that I hope will give you some hints.

    Do you need to use Manufacturing in Dynamics NAV?
