I think this should be part of the base functionality, without the planning aspect. A lot of times when our customers ask for a sales quote they want to know both cost and lead time. Based on one of those, they may decide to go somewhere else. In order to accomplish this now (version 27.4) we have to convert the quote to an order, run CTP Order Promising, capture the date information, delete the sales order, go to sales order archives and restore the quote, then update the dates to provide to the customer. Crazy. If we could run a "non-planning" version of ATP/CTP in an order promising window right on the quote, we can give the customer what their looking for in a much more efficient way.
I think this also needs to be included anywhere Edit in Excel is present on transactions, such as Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Sales Invoices, etc. Users are forced to enter this in manually and if they have transactions with lots of lines this creates a lot of work. Uploading via Edit in Excel would be so much simpler.
