If you create a sales order using type "Sales order" in the system, this is seen by master planning even before the order has actually been confirmed (creating demand and suggestions for purchase orders / production orders).

This is only possible if you select the sales order type 'Journal' for the open orders. At that stage, the system will not create an inventory transactions. Once it is set to order type 'Sales order', it will be included for master planning.

As a result, this functionality creates the risk of generating unnecessary cost implications and consumption of resources. The expectation is the planning should consider after the sales order has been confirmed.
