A lot of times, it could take days for sales department to finalize some Make-to-order orders with customers. It could be re-confirming the deliver date, price, or details on the order. Before the sales orders are finalized, all information are subject to change, but the orders are already entered into the system for record keeping. The problem is, in current system, MRP will pick up those orders right away and treat them as valid order and suggest us to build/buy based on the un-finalized data. We should have the ability to tell MRP calculations to ignore certain orders.

There is a field on the order line (which is typically set as hidden) for the line status. If you add the line and set this as "Planned" instead of "firm" you can set your MRP requirements parameters to not consider "planned" lines as demand.
That's cool! Thanks!
