When the RFQ has is_assembly = true

For RFQs where the customer paid for an assembled device (not just parts), the workflow changes:

Ship to Mekka, not the customer

• Ship-to address on the Brief = Mekka HQ, not the customer's address.
• Mekka receives the parts, integrates with any procured/marketplace items, performs final QC, photographs the assembled unit, and ships to the customer.
• Your scope ends at "parts that pass your QA arrive at Mekka HQ."

What this means for your packaging

• Same packaging SOP, but the RFQ ref on the slip lets us know which job it goes with.
• Group all line items for a single RFQ in one shipment if practical.

What this means for your timeline

• Build assembly time into the lead-time quote: typically 2-5 business days at Mekka after parts arrive. The customer's needed_by date already accounts for this.

Dedicated assembly partner (future)

When Mekka's assembly volume justifies a dedicated assembly partner, the Brief's ship-to may point there instead. Same SOP applies — ship to whatever address the Brief shows.
