Prototype status in BPCS?

Hello all,

I'm very new to BPCS.  I've searched the archives to no avail.  I was 
wondering if anyone could help me with a situation at our company.  We are 
running BPCS version 6.1, release 01, and there is a situation that I feel 
is sapping a lot of resources to resolve.

Basically, when a new part number is set up in BPCS, orders can 
immediately be taken.  This is a problem, because there is typically a 
leadtime of 4-6 week minimum, to get product in inventory.  We have been 
working around it by having the part description read "NPD", so that the 
planner knows that the product is not yet available.  But, the planners 
are upset because they're fill rate is being hurt.

Is there a way to set up everything in BPCS, but not have it available for 
sale?  Perhaps a prototype status?

Thanks, 

Hyok Lee
