Actual result:

Currently when run planning optimization, planning optimization will always include safety stock quantities, transfer requirement (Doesn't have any option to disable in master plan set up)

Therefore, after execution, planned order will include the safety stock quantity, transfer requirement quantity and demand forecast quantity in the required quantity.

Expectation:

We would like planning optimization to generate planned order required quantity for the demand forecast quantity only.

We need to have master plan's set up or parameter to exclude safety stock quantity, required transaction quantity, so that we can see the planned order result for the demand forecast quantity only.

Business requirement and impact:

Business operates primarily on a make-to-stock basis and has limited raw material storage, often only covering 1-2 days. Our replenishment and site teams depend on forecast visibility of raw material usage to notify suppliers accurately, aligning with production needs and storage constraints. Currently, the settings are incorrectly inflating short-term raw material requirements, impairing visibility and the replenishment officer's ability to estimate the necessary raw materials accurately.

The result planned order of planning optimization impacting replenishment team and the ability to foresee the required quantity for multiple operation sites.
