Let coverage group setting decide Marking behavior when firming planned orders

End users should not decide if marking should be created or not when firming a planned order. Typically it's the type of the item that should decide (stock items should NOT generate marking against receipt and make-to-order product should).

Create a parameter on the coverage group level where it can be defined how marking should be handled when firming planned orders.

RE: Let coverage group setting decide Marking behavior when firming planned orders

Very good and useful idea. You have my vote. Also add the Coverage group field to the grid of planned orders (General / Purchase / Production).

This idea is also mentioned in a 2016 blog of Evert Bos: https://www.sikich.com/insight/marking-microsoft-dynamics-ax-part-1-understand-basics

"A better customization might be to link the marking parameter to coverage groups, assuming item numbers involved in MTO and ETO scenarios could be identified."

With this you can easy support a mixed mode fulfillment environment without changing parameters during the firming process of planned orders.
