In the past I created a macro that created a "fake sales order" will the sum total of all of the BOM components on all open orders. Each time the macro was run the order was deleted and re-created. It was numbered to appear at the end of any report so people new that it was never to be shipped.  But ti then created the demand on inventory that other processes needed to see.

That is a good idea.  Is your system set up with Default Commit or did you have to go into the "fake order" and commit manually.

The macro only filled in the qty ordered field. But that's all that was required in this case. If you need the Qty Committed field filled, the macro could do that, too.
