NSC | Understanding the Firmed Checkbox in Transactions

Scenario

A user noticed the "Firmed" checkbox on various Transaction records, such as Purchase Orders and Work Orders. They are curious about the purpose of this field, its auto-population behavior, and its relevance to their recently enabled demand/supply planning module.

Solution

The Firmed checkbox can be seen on Purchase Orders if the Material Requirements Planning (Supply Planning) feature has been enabled on the account. Otherwise, it is only shown in Transfer Orders and Work Orders.

If the Firmed checkbox is marked on an order, then it remains in the Supply Plan and is not erased when the Supply Planning process is run.
