We create our Production Orders from our Sales Orders.  By default, the system will create the order for the full sales order quantity.

Without having to create the Production Order via MRP, Is there a way to:

  1.  Create the PRO for the shortfall amount automatically in Sales Order,
  2. Or be able to adjust the quantity before hitting CREATE.

In example below, we have 5 in inventory, so we only need to make 11.

Unfortunately there is not a way to change the quantity in the way you desire.

My suggestion is to add a sidepanel for ‘MRP by Item” to the Sales Order screen.  That would be the best way I can think of without a true customization.  Note that you may also have to add ‘Regenerate Inventory Planning’ depending on your automation schedule for that process, and when the sales order was created.
