Often manufacturers use projects to plan the construction of large machines / user have projects where you locally have to consume materials.
User can assign products that will be needed to the production tasks and create a project stock order where user can enter the planned delivery date. Only due to the project stock order the demand occurs in the product planning details and is considered by the MRP.
However, once the project stock order was released this requested/delivery date can not be changed anymore. user have to create the project stock orders weeks in advance in order to trigger the purchasing process if there is not enough stock available. Often it happens that project tasks are postponed and this change in date we would have to reflect on the open project stock order.
But as soon as the stock order is released the requested/delivery date is not editable anymore. In 2002 release with the new feature it would now be possible to change the delivery date in project stock order / project as long as the related customer demand is not released.
Project lead would like to change the delivery date in project stock orders and projects in order to take into account changing time lines. The changed delivery date will be reflected in the relevant customer demand.
