In DDMRP planning methodology, there is also the concept of a non-buffered part (think of make-to-order items). The same net flow equation is used and planned orders are only then generated where the net flow is negative (On-hand + on-order - qualified demand) < 0. The exception with non-buffered managed parts are that the net flow is not compared against the buffer (because there is no buffer).

Thank you very much for your input on DDMRP. We do not have any current plans to provide such an extended capability in Planning Optimization. We will however continue to monitor how much in demand such an extended capability is.
