Calendars per site
It would be good if we could create separate calendars per site - currently this possibility does not exist, but in reality the opening/closing days for deliveries to a customer for example might be different per site, same as vendor calendar which might have different closing days per site.
Add parameter to skip firming when no reservation can be made
It would be great to have a parameter that will not firm lines when no reservation can be made. This will better integrate MRP with WMS, and is especially important on customers with large item catalogs that rely on autofirming.

Resource capabilities plan for 'best resource' based on priority in forward planning
My understanding from a Microsoft ticket ,2311300040012741, is that resource capabilities will alter the resource to the best capacity in backward planning, but when neither resource achieves the ship date and it switches to forward planning, MRP will resort to the priority 1 machine without c...
Add minimum order value per supplier account
There are cases where suppliers have a requirement that a PO has a minimum order value before considering shipping it (multiple small value orders shipped over the course of a defined period would lead to increased logistics cost). Therefore businesses have to manually check that Planned order...
Negative days and DDMRP coverage groups
New coverage groups have been created recently to manage DDMRP method into D365. Globally these new coverage groups are great and it is nice to have these options. However negative days are not considered by DDMRP model.
Thanks for your input. Negative days are intentionally not considered in DDMRP.
This is due to the fact that the goal with DDMRP is always to maintain a stock buffer of the product so that stockouts do not occur. And in case that the net flow is below the reorder point, indicating that the buffer should be refilled, then an order will be created. The order will come a lead time into the future, so it is true that it is expected to come at that point in time, and if it comes later, it can result in a stockout and in the situarion that is on your business case:
"Let's say we've got an item with no stock. Sales orders (SO) are placed and confirmed for next week. There are purchase orders (PO) to cover the requirements. Unfortunately , according to POs confirmed delivery dates, POs are coming next month. So it is much to late to respect the confirmed shipping date of SOs.
When I'm running MRP, the projected stock for the next couple of days is negative."
It is expected that you update the lead times to be realistic lead times, so the case mentioned above is the exception and not the rule. Or another option, if you have very variable parameters, is that you create more frequent planned purchase orders for replenishing the buffer - which is achieved by adjusting the lead time parameter (on the coverage group) for the buffers needed. By lowering the parameter, the buffer zones will be affected (red and green, according to the formulas) by being diminished, and resulting in that you order more often.

Bundle forecast and consumption
When the signed off forecast of a bundle is published in F&O the items in the BOM of the bundle will publish in the net requirement as a BOM line reference.
Issue is if an actual SO is entered the SO will explode to the component for the SO requirement. This SO line will not ...

Add threshold to MRP to prevent planned orders for minor shortfall in output
We see a need to have a threshold setting on production output. Example we regularly run a little short on production orders, within 5%. The MRP picks up this shortage and generates a planned order to cover the shortage which in turn creates planned purchase orders to fill the requirements bas...

After being firm by the "Planned transfers", the shipping date changes of the created "Transfer orders".
While creating planned transfer orders with different dates, different order date and delivery date were given. While firming the Planned transfer orders ‘Grouping = Month’ selected. Transfer order is created with one header and multiple lines against each order. But transfer order lines created ...
