Originally, a long lead-time production file was only intended for long lead-time items. Now you can also add production components to a long lead-time production file. This allows you to start the production of long lead-time components before you know the final production structure. The following modifications have been made to support this functionality:
A long lead-time production file allows you to add not only parts with the order code 'Purchase to order, custom' or 'Purchase to order, commercial quantity', but also parts with the order code 'Produce in new production file'. The production registration is the same as for other production files.
On the Production files form, the Long lead-time items field has been renamed to Production file for long lead-time components. The Purchase group box now has the title 'Production file'.
