Our client has a distribution warehouse and a manufacturing warehouse. The manufactured stock is always transferred in full to the distribution warehouse (manufactured stock is not stored in the manufacturing warehouse).

If the system falls below safety stock within the lead time period (6 months) the transfer order is delayed. This delay is causing issues, as the dynamic negative days are not considering the production lead time on the transfer orders, causing the system to suggest oversupply into the transfer warehouse. The current workaround is to manually override and increase negative days to match the lead time, which is not desired as it will not only impact planning within the lead time but also outside.

It would be great if Microsoft can improve master planning results for scenarios where a long lead time item is transferred to a distribution warehouse (planned by demand forecast and safety stock). Specifically, how to treat the delay the system will have on the transfer order if the requirement is within the production order lead time period. The Microsoft engineers proposal was to request implementation of a marking to demand forecast.
