In addition to this issue, when the production orders are linked using pegged supply line type in the BOM. Resetting the status of the parent production order to "Created" to add a route will remove the child production orders which results in losing data and can impact scheduling, costing, and planning.
Robotic setups are reducing setup times, BUT even with automation, there is a strong need to cluster setups together. It is not only the setup of the physical process, but also the inspection readiness and maintenance readiness. there are still more and less challenging flavours of product to be sensitive to for all the best reasons.Please extend this to cover discrete orders as well.
MSFT continues to be silent on this issue. We are started to undertake the long road of carefully customizing this for our use since we are one of those companies that uses Advanced WM and have consignment. We also need to "see" this consignment inventory while the ATP runs so that we can promise near same day shipments of both our owned stock and also millions in consignment stock, which can quickly be turned and shipped.
