Currently, the default order settings of type "inventory" impact both generation of planned production orders and planned transfer orders. However, in many companies, it just doesn't make any sense to have both types of orders default quantities tied to the same constraints. This is an issue we have run into many times and there's simply no standard workaround. We would need the default order settings to be split in 4 parts instead of the 3 current to deal separately with all kinds of orders just as it is currently the case for Sales and purchase orders. - Purchase order - Production/Batch order - Transfer order - Sales order

Currently, production orders of items which have a standard costing method do not appear in the manual marking form accessible from a production formula or a production BOM. There doesn't seem to be any technical constraints since the "automatic marking" works for those items (using consolidated batch orders, pegged supply, marking from MRP firming,...). It is a rather odd design decision which doesn't make any sense functionnaly speaking. It would be great if you would delete this limitation.

The "batches" information in form "Batch balancing" are not correct as they're not taking into consideration existing reservations. Therefore, it's impossible to work properly with the form AS IS. It turns out the only way to have reservations registered in this form are if you select all of the physical dimensions for a product on a transaction (transfer order, sales order,...). As a consequence, when in batch balancing form, it looks as if some batches are available while they really aren't. The “Batches” part of the screen should behave as follows : - Only take the batch reservation level into account, irrelevant of below dimensions in reservation hierarchy - Work like the on-hand, meaning showing you different values for physical reserved, available physical,… depending on which dimensions are displayed by user
