This enhancement provides Requirement Planning with the ability to recognize the material that has been already issued to open production orders, and eliminate the need for the  Requirement Planning (RP) Logic to continue to drive requirements for this already issued material.

Previously if an ERP system manually issued material to account for the material that is consumed by a production order the Requirement Planning (RP) logic was not able to recognize the material that has previously been issued.

With this enhancement all the material that has been previously issued to open production orders are uploaded into DemandCaster and the next time the a Requirement Plan is generated the issued material will be accounted for.  Please see the following documentation for more information on using this functionality.

The Constrained Capacity Production Leveling application is enhanced with the addition of a new rule for grouping and sequencing production orders based on the week in which the production orders are due.  Previously production orders could only be grouped and sequenced by product attributes, classification and due date.  With this enhancement production orders will also be able to be grouped by their due week.  Please see the following documentation for more information on using this functionality.
