I am not sure of what you are saying. Did you try 'limited by materials' checkbox while scheduling production orders?

But once firmed then I think AX master planning does not really give a good indication to the user Thanks James ________________________________ From: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harry Deshpande Sent: 24 November 2008 12:22 To: Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] Re: Grouping of production orders for planning Hi James Planned prod orders during coverage are scheduled backward from delivery date and during futures are scheduled forward from requirement date. 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?
