Planning does not respect reservations against stock with "Order" item

Have in mind the following scenario: “Order” item with a sales order reserved against stock and sales order shipment date in frozen zone. Under these circumstances, we need to consider this scenario should only occur exceptionally in rare occassions:

·         Having an “Order” item with stock should be considered as an exception

·         Having a sales order with a shipment date before starting date should also be considered as an exceptio

What does NAV do here? It flags this as an exception. As mentioned before, this is an exception from a business perspective. This is not only that NAV considers this an exception. NOTE: When an exception is raised in NAV, it should not be much concerned on what is the action message actually suggested. It should be concerned on that an exception exists. And, planner should decide how to address this exception.
