Thank you,Rakesh. I believe the business function LOG_EAM_CI_3 needs to be activated for what you propose.
However,we would still like to be able to reschedule the material requirements along with the orders - therefore it would not be a good fit for us to enter the requirement date manually.
I am still quite baffled,why is the offset not working when you schedule the requirements to order start dates. It looks like we would need to develop an enhancement, that would update the requirement date field for us, if we were unwilling to change the "Adjust dates" indicator?
