Do you have Browser?  You can do a broadcast/receive and set up custom

We are have been trying to check shortages prior to releasing MO and are
looking for suggestions.

We have tried reviewing availability on the Order Release/Review screen by
selecting sequence numbers then choosing option A.  This works but it is
time consuming for our planners to review every item that is recommended.

We have tried running the "Check Item Availability Prior to Release" from
menu AMMM40 (Order/Sechedule Release) but that includes all items, not
just shortages and generates a 900+ page report.

Any suggestions on how we could stream line our shortage review prior to
releasing MO?  We only want to cut MO's if we have enough material to
complete the order to simplify our sequencing process, which currently
requires an availability check.
