Suggested by Elise Nguyen – New
Currently, the “Group by planning priority” option in the manual firming dialog (Planned Orders > Firm) always defaults to “No”, regardless of the global setup in Master Planning Parameters > Firm – Transfer.
This causes significant user friction in environments where the standard business process is to always firm with grouping enabled (i.e., “Yes”). Users must manually tick this checkbox every time they firm orders, which adds risk and inconsistency in high-volume operations.
We would like to request a feature enhancement that allows this checkbox to:
- Inherit the value from the master planning parameters, or
- Be controlled by a user or company-level default setting
This improvement would:
- Reduce manual errors
- Align manual firming behavior with global planning intent
- Improve usability and consistency across the system
This parameter is already respected in batch firming, so having parity in manual firming would be highly beneficial.
Thank you for considering this enhancement.
