Very good idea! A supplementary function or parameter setting could be useful to not unnecessary "lock" the on hand components too far ahead, like a CTP fence. E.g if order line #1 is requested very far in the future and the lead time of the BOM component, Item A, is shorter than the requested date of order line #1 it would be unnecessary to lock those components for the future order line only, instead of being able to fulfill both orders up on each customers request. It would be good with some options: CTP includes a check of the lead time of Item A. If the lead time is shorter than the confirmed date of order line #1 it is ok to use the on hand stock for order #2A fixed period of time, where the CTP does the check of already confirmed order lines and ignore order lines outside that CTP fenceThe planner get highlighted somehow to get a chance to contact the vendor and see if Item A can get delivered to meed the need of both order #1 and order #2 Would be good to be able to set this as a default parameter, but also as an overriding value of each single product to be flexible.

You could actually use the "Is one of" search function to accomplish this with the voucher numbers after filtering on a date range, but I have had several customers ask me if the Journal Batch Number can be added to the results so they don't have to click through to the Original document when researching entries.
