RE: MTO v MTS

We're running into somewhat the same situation.  We use to use Order Policy
Codes, i.e., Order Policy As are MTO items, all other Order Policies are MTS
items; however some of are Order Policy Hs are also MTOs.  Then we said
items w/ Minimum Balances=0 are MTOs and all others are MTSs; but then we
started to use forecasting and zeroed out some of our Minimum Balances on
stock items...  We are on 4.05 CD, I thought I heard that 6.1 had a solution
for this, but I'm not positive.  Good luck.

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?
