The "Find Sales Order" lines function does not currently work with Item Requirement Sales Order lines.

Item requirement lines should be able to be returned using the Return Order function so that when the return order packing slip is posted, the project transaction is reversed and the project is credited the item cost with the same "charge" functionality that currently exists.

This will prevent users from having to create additional item journals to ensure inventory and costs match after the return is completed.

Create a feature to view the "Explosion" for all lines within a sales order or project item requirements in a single view.

This feature would allow users to see all order/project requirements and expected delays within a single view that could be exported and shared with procurement and production staff for expediting requirements. Clicking through hundreds or thousands of item requirements lines to understand project/order requirements is not feasible.

Add a button that allows operators to view production order bill of material lines within PFE. This will allow users to quickly verify materials delivered/required for operation completion without having to navigate to the production order BOM in another window.

Setup hierarchy levels/sequences for applying planned order types to fulfill demand.

Businesses that utilize the same materials across multiple sites and warehouse often purchase material that may already be stocked in another location.

It would be incredibly beneficial if planned order types could be sequenced so that I could plan to transfer material if inventory is on hand in another site/warehouse and not pegged to any demand. If no inventory is available (and not pegged to any existing demand order), the system would use a planned purchase order type instead.

This function allows businesses to consume already purchased/stocked materials across their organization before purchasing additional material. Assuming inventory is available, but the planner does not want to transfer material, they could simply override by changing the planned transfer to a planned purchase order. This manual override is far easier to manage than checking all on hand inventory for every part prior to order firming.

Currently users can only view master planning "net requirements" for one part at a time with calculated accumulated qtys after transactions.

I am suggesting the creation of a form within master planning that allows users to run the same style report for a list of item numbers or item allocation key to see net requirements data for hundreds to thousands of parts at once. This will allow production planners to understand what parts will causes production downtime when at a product line level instead of going part by part.

"Mixed" scope picking is not currently supported for Sales Order picking. This leaves a major gap for any companies that assemble large scope projects to order or order multiple items for a project from a vendor to be cross docked and shipped to the end user.

Idea is to enable the same "mixed scope" picking process that is currently available for Purchase Orders for Sales Order picking. This will allow businesses to create a single pick line for multiple items that are contained on a single license plate for a single order. There is no need to pick the items individually as the items and quantities have already been validated and the entire LP can be picked to the order.
