What generates the Assembly Order for an Assemble to Stock item that is below the reorder point on the item card - I don't see it from Order Planning or Planning Worksheet.

Yes, I was also wondering the same but it seems that's simply not possible. This is a quote from docs.microsoft.com:
"Dynamics NAV also supports supply planning for wholesale companies where the resulting supply orders can only be transfer and purchase orders. The main interface for this planning work is the Requisition Worksheet window, which is described indirectly in this topic as most planning functionality applies to both worksheets."
So basically you can't plan assemblies using the Req. Wksht, only purchases/transfers.
EDIT: I just tested a scenario of planning assemblies through Planning Wksht in a company w/o any Manufacturing or SKU settings. Created a multi-level BOM item and the worksheet did indeed calculated correctly based on the demand, and generated all the required assembly and purchase orders. So, you don't actually need Advanced Manufacturing to plan assembly orders.
So we'd have to use the Planning Worksheet? Since we're not using Manufacturing I have been trying to use the Requisition Worksheet for this purpose, but it does not seem to work. Which is weird since the Req.Worksheet line has an option for 'Assembly' in the Replenishment System field. Has anybody else been able to get this work perhaps?
I should also note that I have a forecast for the items.
If you are using Lot-for-Lot, can you provide an answer?
The Planning Worksheet should suggest the replenishment order. Check if you have a "Reordering Policy" set on the item. If it's blank then the Planning System won't calculate it.
Precisely the type of answer I was looking for.
Thanks you.
Given that you are interested in using Reorder Points, do you use Locations? If so, you’ll want to make sure you are using Stockkeeping Units for each Location for your Item. And there, define one of the Reorder Point based ordering policies: Fixed Reorder or Maximum Quantity, and be sure to fill all required parameters associated with the policy.
If you are using one of the demand based policies like Order or Lot-for-Lot, then you wouldn’t need Stockkeeping Units, and typically (but you are not required to) you would use Assemble to Order.
Then, if your Item’s replenishment is set to Assembly and the method is Assemble to Stock, the Planning Worksheet will start picking it up in its MRP/MPS calculations when the Assembled Good is low and needs to be assembled, and when the raw materials in the Assembly BOM are running low and need to be replenished by purchase/transfer/assembly/production (assuming you have proper parameters enabled for the raw materials as well.)
I hope this helps. If it does, please click Yes next to “Did this Answer Your Question” to verify that this has helped.
