SCH - production scheduling without constraints

A new option is supported for the scheduler algorithm: you can now ignore the availability constraint of purchased materials.

This can be useful in these scenarios:

• A purchased component can be procured within its defined lead time.
• A purchased component can be added to the product at a later moment than the defined production operation.

If the Ignore Availability Constraint check box is selected in the Items - Ordering by Site (tcibd2150m000) session and the supply source of the item is Purchased, then the scheduler algorithm assumes that infinite inventory is available.

Optionally, the Unknown Material Availability warning message can be displayed if a shortage happens.
