We are trying to formulate a plan to help customer service (and ultimately customers) with planning for the availability of special order items. "Special order" in the sense I am using it refers to items that * have no on-hand inventory and * no forecast or supply plan until an actual customer order is received (no P.O., no M.O., no forecast, no firm planned orders and no planned orders The standard MAPICS available-to-promise function depends on: * on-hand quantities * on-order quantities (either from purchase orders or production orders) * firm planned orders (from MRP), or * planned orders (from MRP). We would need to take the standard lead-time, apply that to a current calendar and then determine a date this product would be available (assuming a re-supply order is placed 'today') . Are some of you handling "special order" items today in a way to easily project a 'legitimate' promise date during order entry?
