Un-Official Sales Order - Considered as Almost Fixed Demand, but may change slightly
Summary:
We have a requirement for Order Promising functionality for Un-official sales orders, but without registering sales orders.
In Japan, typically, business maintains 3 types of document.
(1) Sales Order - considered as Fixed Demand
(2) Un-Official Sales Order - Considered as Almost Fixed Demand, but may change slightly (these are forecasts within the Planning time fence)
(3) Forecast
Informal order is a deemed order that is made before a formal order is placed. There are customers who are slow to send formal orders, and if client wait for their orders, they may not be able to manufacture them in time. In such cases, a deemed order is created before the formal order comes in.
