Summary:
If a Vendor typically shuts down completely for a month (ie Chinese holiday season) or typical 2-3 week MFG holiday shutdown or yearly long-term plant maintenance. Would like to use the Vendor's Purchase Calendar in D365FO with Working Days = Yes to account for the closure period of time when the Vendor is completely shutdown and have D365FO accurately calculate Delivery Date after 100 day leadtime is applied. Currently Planning Optimization only considers the working days of the Coverage Group calendar to calculate purchase lead time of items.
From the MSFT Docs at the time of idea submission; search for "Calendar setup overview matrix" you can see how calendars are currently considered in planning optimization.
*Notice even if Vendor Calendar is supplied it is not currently used for Lead Time when counting open days (it is only used on the “final date”):
Request:
That the Vendor Calendar functionality is added to allow for it to be used to calculated Vendor Lead times, such that any Closed Days on the specific Vendor’s calendar can be used for counting opened days.
Comments
Also reported this Idea, Microsoft marked it as designed on our support request. But it is needed functionality which was supported by the 'old masterplanning'. For now need to find workarounds for new customers and customers that are willing to migrate...

The order date for a planned purchase ,should also consider the Vendor purchase calendar. Now The order date is calculated backward from the requirement date, without taken closed days in calendar into consideration resulting in order dates that are to late.
