Quality Assurance Module and how it affects the available capacity in Master Planning

The idea of an ERP is to streamline processes, but in the implementation I'm going through, while reviewing the way Dynamics handles the reserved capacity concerning a maintenance order disappointed me a lot.

There is a specific point where you define the start of the Maintenance order and it is when you release the order and consider it as /in process/

But after that you have to go to the Schedule Tab and AGAIN type the date and the start and finished tentative times.

There is no relation between the 2 start dates, where it should be, in my opinion.

Now, imagine that a supervisor reports the need for corrective maintenance

At first sight, he scheduled the order for 2 days (time in which the productive resource is out of action

Then when realizing that the spare is not available in the warehouse he has to create a requisition knowing that the supplier will take 90 days to deliver.

At the end , he needs to remember to GO BACK to the scheduling section and update the information.

Something here does not sound well or perhaps I´m not fully understanding how this works.
