Currently we have a home grown tool that creates proposals, and every week (sometimes more often) before running MRP we have to calculate the demand for each item and populate it in the "Demand Adjustment" under Inventory Management -> Activities -> Replenish Inventory.

We are currently in the process of eliminating this tool completely and start using "Order Type - Quotes" for proposals we dont want MRP to order materials for, but we still need the following flexibility: If the Order Type is "Sales Order" and "Require Acknowledgment" is checked for it and if the Order Status is still "Unacknowledged" then MRP should give an option of excluding those SOs.
