Question about clock-in and clock-out in vantage

MRP does not create Unfirm Sales Orders. But it does create Unfirm Jobs if
there is a demand for it, Sales Order, Below Minimum Qty, Forecasts, etc...,
and there is an approved method. If there is a Demand and the Part is marked
for MRP but there is no approved method a Suggestions is placed and can be
searched for in Planning Workbench or Job Manager.

Besides the other two examples, UnFirm is also used for MRP. If I am not
mistaken (and that well could be) one of the functions of MRP is that it
looks at forecasts and creates UnFirm orders based on the forecast (to be
firmed up later by actual orders).

Nimish,
We had a case recently in which the customer wanted us to maintain a
"blanket" sales order and he would then give us periodic releases against
that blanket. We input the blanket sales order as "not firm" so it wouldn't
create an unfirm job and consequently drive parts to be purchased. The
releases, of course, are firm.

when entered into the system. What scenarios would require us to use
the firm/non-firm feature for the sales order? Can someone help me
understand this better?

Thanks.

You could have a blanket order which could have releases strung out over
a period of time. Some of which are not firm releases.

Or you could structure a blanket order where release 1 is the balance of
the order (unfirm) and all subsequent releases are customer releases
which are firm. It could also be the other way around where the last
release is the balance of the blanket order (again unfirm) and all
previous releases are firm releases.
