A lot of vendors deliver only on fixed days. Currently it is not possible to use the vendor calendar to manage this (or ay other setting in Ax). I propose to use the open calendar days linked to a vendor to manage this : calculate next delivery date based on Leadtime/receipt margin etc, and than look at the vendor calendar for next possible open delivery day. Currently if you would like to use this Ax looks first at next open date on the calendar, than calculates based on master data settings like leadtime, and then again looks at next available open day --> proposals are too late.

We also need this. Vendors are delivering goods on specific weekdays.

Currently we have done a modification for the classic MRP. This includes:

  • option of adding a receipt calendar for the vendor.
  • using dynamic coverage period to encounter for vendor opening days.
  • adding a fixed receipt calendar in the Item coverage to handle transfer orders on fixed weekdays.


Kindly address the above issues in the Planning optimization engine so we can avoid addressing this again.

Please add that the maintenance should be easy. So the base calendar should be below the vendor calendar. Setting up a receipt calendar per vendor is possible but the days are shifted and the maintenance is hard.

That is already possible. But the problem with the current functionality is, that the vendor calendar handles order dates and delivery dates at the same time. That should be separated.

It should be possible to link two different calendars to a vendor. One of the calendars should handle the opening hours of the vendor (= possible order dates), and the other calendar should handle delivery dates as you've described in your proposal.
