If a Project is connected to multiple Shop Orders and one of the shop orders is connected to a Department (from an operation/work center), it is populating all the Shop Orders when loading Advanced Planning Board with the Department. This seems to be the current application behavior. Does it go in line with the real-world production scheduling?

The rationale is when shop order is part of an order structure, in this case, project, even though the load criteria satisfies subset , and if that sub set of shop order(s) are part of large order structure, APB loads all the shop orders in the order structure so that the preceding and succeeding relationships between shop orders ( derived from project activity preceding succeeding relationships ) are kept. Meaning, This gives more visibility for the project manufacturing planner to plan the group of shop orders in the product structure rather than planning isolated shop orders so that disrupting the project plan.
