Chick,
The fields for customer order and line number are both populated
automatically if the "Shop order generate flag" from the facility planning
record is turned on. This option is not supported if the item is configurable
and option priced. When using SFC500 it only asks for and populates the order
number. Assuming your shop order due dates match the requested ship dates and
quantities, that should be fine for planning and production. MRP will advise
you when/if something changes on any of the order lines.
