RE: MTO v MTS

We have created a field in the item master extension file denotes this then use 
that to display the MTS items in reverse text on those screens where it 
matters.  I don't particularly agree with this since I think the planning codes 
in the facility master and order entry rules should be enough to handle the 
differentiation.  I have to ask, what is it that your people will be doing with 
the information on MTS Vs MTO once they have it?  How will their behavior 
differ?

We manufacture a number of products, some of which are Make to Stock (MTO)
and some of which are Make to Order (MTO). It is important to us,
especially in planning, to understand when an item is one or the other. We
can't seem to find a good way in the item master or the facility master to
designate this information about the item.

What approaches have others taken?
