      <Paragraph>The matching of the demand and supply of a manufactured assembly
		end item is based on the product variant. Example the demand for
		the manufactured assembly end item is generated when a product variant is
		created for a new sales order. The Option List ID for this variant matches with
		a redundant variant which is in stock. An assembly order is created to meet
		this demand is created as the variant numbers differ.</Paragraph>
