If your company uses the Advanced Scheduling modules, you can specify that parts be planned manually in the Interactive Planning screen or the Sales Order pages in ERP. Choosing this setting tells Infinite Planning to ignore this part where job creation is concerned. You can also filter within the Interactive Planning screens based on whether the parts are Auto planned or Manually planned.
