How can I get a warning when entering a sales order so I am aware that this demand jeopardizes availability for other demands? That is the Avail. Check Warning functionality. Nothing new.

The planning system does not include any reserved quantities in the calculation. For example, if a sales order has been totally or partially reserved against the quantity in inventory, the reserved quantity in inventory cannot be used to cover other demand.

In the GUI of the Web Client it is possible to select a range as a filter though there is no underlying coding that supports this. Documentation around limitations of Web Client can be found here . The Web Client was originally designed for an occasional use as opposed to intensive use for which we have the Windows...
