Color coding Plnd/Prodn Orders on DS Planning Board

Hi All,

Our products are configurable & we use class 400 on products in APO (SCM7.0). For a certain form of Products, it is possible we have atleast 4 different values to a characteristic called "XYZ". The values for this characteristic would be pre-defined as 1, 2, 3 & 4 & each Planned/Production Order will carry only 1 of these four values.. What we want is to be able to clearly identify Planned & Production Orders, by unique color coding, based on their respective values, on the DS Planning board.

Say, all Orders with char value "1" - Offwhite, those with "2" - Green & so on. We need to group such orders & sequence 'em in APO by the like characteristic values.

While I know the Planning Board profile offers config to set color coding based on orders, was wondering if I would have to use an enhancement to leverage this functionality to work for me, by characteristic value/s.

Any idea?

Thanks
