Optimized planning event handler
In summary, Using legacy MRP engine, partners were able to call custom quantity/ planning logic after the MRP calc was done but the new planning optimization lacks event handlers to call the post calculation logic from the async process.
Typically any extension needs to MRP a...

Item coverage ranking for Master Planning
The current item coverage lines can only have one coverage line by warehouse. There is a scenario where the Master Planning replenishment needs to look for/evluate rules of replenishment. For example if there is no stock in Warehouse 1 then transfer stock from warehouse 2, otherwise purchase to ...

Forecast consumption on second level for phantoms

Create a new data entity in order to manage (safety stock) minimum/maximum keys in-mass
Dear Microsoft Team, Using the version 10.0.19, there is no standard way to export/import minimum/maximum keys in order to manage safety stock in item coverage cause there is no data entity out of the box. So idea is to create a new data entity in order to manage minimum/maximum keys in-mass i...

Setup: • Formula created with Plan group and Priority fields on the formula lines to include substitute items • Preferred and substitute items are kept in the storage warehouse which is different from the production warehouse on formula lines • Preferred and substitute items are transferred from...
Change behavior Parameter "Coverage Plan by Dimension" for tracking dimensions
when switching on the parameter "Coverage Plan by Dimension" on "yes" one of the tracking dimensions the system always will require a value for the dimension. Empty is also considered as a value. The behavior we no see shows that when for example a batch is filled in on the demand (Sales Order) ...

There should be a coverage group functionality “make-to-order”. Master planning and Explosion should always show either a planned production order or a planned purchase order even if there is stock physical available.
Maybe this could be solved by positive days with negativ...

We are planning on supporting Lean Manufacturing on Planning Optimization during year 2024.
If you are a new customer going live on Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and lean manufacturing is the manufacturing that would best fit your business, you can implement it in dynamics and go-live using the classic/deprecated built-in master planning. Once lean manufacturing is supported on Planning Optimization, then you can move to it.
Please remember Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is to support your business processes, choose the manufacturing that would best fit it.
