Dear Paul,

We did not create an extra procurement method MTS+MTO.  This would also
complicate matters a lot, because you would need to reserve your MTS stock
(e.g. returned products / byproducts) for an MTO and take this into
account.  I have not heard about such a method in other systems before
either.

We moved the procurement method from the procurement to the stock move .
 By default, if you create pickings manually, the stock will be taken from
the source location (MTS).  You can however change to apply the procurement
rules (so it will do the manufacturing and purchases for the delivery order
you manually created)
That way, you can do as you described in 1 and it is possible to use a
product in a mixed MTO/MTS way, but as you described, it is manually or at
least you need to define somehow if it will take MTO or MTS in e.g. the
routes.

We left one possibility open however: when you force the availability of a
picking/move MTO, upon execution of the picking/move, it can take from the
products in the MTS stock (byproducts, returned, ...).

Greetings,

Josse Colpaert
