Firm plan items
Firm the plan item when it's not ready for a purchase or run
Overview
There is an option to firm plan items. This is used to progress the item forward even if it's not ready to convert into a purchase order or run.
Some use cases for firming include:
The part is actively being sourced to a supplier
The drawing is not released yet
The procedure is not released yet
Comment and assignees
One of the major benefits of firming a plan item is that you can now leave comments and assignees. Once the plan item is firm, the line will turn grey and you'll see an option for assigning a user or adding/viewing comments (see below).
Rules for firm plan items
Firm plan items will always carry forward to the next autoplan job until they are either "unfirmed" or converted into a purchase or run
Even if an item no longer has demand, it will carry forward every time autoplan executes
Firm plan items are allocated after inventory and runs/pos
