RTAM at supply type level

We are currently sending RTAM messages at the Distribution Group level. RTAM is posting both Onhand and Future Inventory. In the case of EU DG RTAM having both UK DC and EU DC, we do not want to consider future inventory of UK DC node. We need to consider only its Onhand inventory. While for UK DG RTAM, for node belonging to UK, we need to consider both onhand and future inventory. Can we have a control to stop posting future inventory for specific nodes at RTAM DG level? Is there any control at the supply type level? Note: We need to continue using DG level RTAM.

How will this idea be used?

This enhancement will be helpful to have control when we have to post RTAM onhand only for some DCs vs posting RTAM of both onhand and future inventory
