End users should not decide if marking should be created or not when firming a planned order. Typically it's the type of the item that should decide (stock items should NOT generate marking against receipt and make-to-order product should).

Create a parameter on the coverage group level where it can be defined how marking should be handled when firming planned orders.

Most often manufacturing companies have to deal with mix production strategies MTO and MTS, refining how marking is handled would be beneficial, setting it at coverage group level is a good idea

Yes, we've had to expose the Coverage Group in the planned orders screen based on site and warehouse. This would be a quick visual cue to tell users whether to mark or not. Having it at the coverage group with ability to override would be nice.

Yes, very good idea. Even there is single level marking possibility at the moment, quite common requirement is to mark production orders but no purchase orders. And for this requirement Coverage group would be correct place to set parameter.

This is an excellent idea - I have recently done this modification for a client in the way you describe and they are very happy with it.
