Ability to Order and Receive PTF's through z/OSMF

We would like to see z/OSMF offer start-to-end functionality for PTF's, providing the ability to order, receive, apply and accept PTF's.

Currently it is only possible to APPLY and ACCEPT PTF's using z/OSMF.

Without full start-to-end functionality it will be difficult to integrate the product into our working practices as there are no efficiency savings to be made. Providing full Order to Accept functionality would streamline the process.

    There is a plan to add an MSM functionality (mainly SMP/E APPLY of corrective, RSU and FIXCAT ) on z/OSMF .
    I think ACCEPT is not part of 1st version.
    Regarding RECEIVE ORDER, Is a scheduled job running RECEIVE ORDER an option for you?
