Thanks Harry Kind of getting you although probably not 100% The production orders planned start date should be based on when the material is available If the material is delayed then the start date of the production orders should be delayed and the user warned if they will miss the delivery date I believe this is how the master planning is doing in AX (for single item) if everything is still in the planned status. But once firmed then I think AX master planning does not really give a good indication to the user Thanks James

In theory planned prod orders at (only for products at level 0) can be scheduled forward from some date however what do you want to do in case such products cannot be manufactured before the delivery date?

I dont think the grouping you are talking about works in this case right?
