Planning optimisation - error or warning if firming planned orders while this is running
With Planning optimisation, companies that previously would have run MRP overnight now have the option to run master planning during the day, and often more than once. Planners therefore could be reviewing and firming planned orders at the same time that Planning optimisation is running, which...

DDMRP: Able to have a variability factor of more than 1 on the item coverage group
In many cases, a variability factor of more than 1 (100%) is required to adequate size the red / safety zone. Currently you cannot specify a value more than 1. We need to be able to specify a value more than 1.
