Hi Samantha
As a Production Planner in a previous life I found this hard in Business Central too.
At Sabre we developed a function called "Sabre Production" which is a suite of items which help the production process. We have a page in Sabre Production which is called the "Available to Produce Page". It is a list of Production Orders and highlights the component lines and order based on component availability.
Green = Enough on hand to cover the order and all gross demand
Yellow = Enough on hand to cover this order but not all gross demand
Red = Not enough on hand to cover remaining component need on this order
It's a great way to see if you should release an order.
We added a toggle to look at Routing information too so you can see what Work / Machine Centres are needed as well which is helpful.
Happy to show you this functionality if needed.
