Operation scheduling with finite capacity for secondary operation
By design:
When using operation scheduling, master planning will plan capacity according to the calendar of the primary resource group. It will not take into account any calendar nor capacity of the secondary operation. It books the secondary operati...

The supply schedule has a brilliant graph showing the planner the evolution of stock levels. However, it would be great if the visual would also show:
- Demand
- Supply
- Minimum stock
It would allow the planner to visually spot where the ...

Prevent blank warehouse in planned orders
Master planning can be set up to plan by site only or by site and warehouse. Most customers plan by site and warehouse.
This means that planned orders are supposed to have warehouses. If not, many cascading problems occur.
MRP is planning for a blank warehouse and demand and suppl...

Planning for subcontracting: create the purchase order for the scheduled vendor
When selecting the resource by capability scheduling or by any other manual scheduling methods the Vendor that is used to create the subcontracting purchase order must be derived from the scheduled resource, not taken from the BOM line (or: the Vendor in the BOM line needs to be updated before fi...
Create routing matrix based on item and resource attributes
It is not currently possible to set up a single Route with capacity/resource that varies according to resource and item attribute.
e.g. fill rates per bottle size and per machine.
Ideally: create a new attribute on the item (not Item group - often already owned/defined by finan...

Ability run MRP by Demand by a particular customer or customer group
Setting up a secondary MRP plan to handle specific customers is a reasonable extension of a master plan for business. However, a master plan should be able to be viewed through the eyes of BI filter. We need planning optimization/D365 to work appropriately and have the option to grab future de...
Thank you very much for providing this Idea. We understand that this is a request not for supply planing per se (as an supply planing must take into account across customer demand). It is to get insight into the independent and dependent demand related to a specific customer or group of customers, not how the demand is fullfilled. The customer demand can originate from forecast aswell as actual orders. We do not have any plans to extend our current capabilities to cover your idea, we will however monitor how much in demand your requesteed capability is. Please continue to vote if this implementing this idea will be of significant positive impact to your business.

Supply Planning Team

Scheduling backward from promise...
